    • Abstract:
      The article presents a study that determined whether or not there is a difference on the average in intellectual level between individuals suffering from emotional disturbance and the normal population. Evidence were gathered from the U.S. Army and veterans administration records. Army General Classification Test scores at the time of entry into military service were obtained for representative samples of men inducted during late 1942 and prematurely separated for psychosis and psychoneurosis, and a comparison of these scores with those for total inductions in the period September 1942 through May 1943 revealed a reliably lower intelligence among both psychiatric groups. However, there was an absence of a reliable difference between the neurotics and psychotics.
