scores on both the S-B and WAIS indicated mental growth between the ages of 30 and 44, although the pattern of the growth between these ages has not been determined.

The higher the preadult level of intelligence for men, the more they gained in later years; whereas the higher the preadult level of intelligence for women, the less they gained in later years. The question of whether bright women tend to inhibit in some way the full realization of their intellectual potential deserves further attention.1 Requests for reprints should be sent to Jon Kangas who is now at the Testing and Counseling Services
