“…Through their use it has been possible to obtain composite estimates of the figures that would have been obtained if it had been possible to study all enlisted men inducted into the army during the last four months of 1942 and later discharged prematurely with either a neurotic or psychotic condition. The diagnostic composition of these two samples has been indicated elsewhere (3).…”

“…Both the neurotics and the psychotics were then divided into six groups, using certain length and type of service categories. These categories were introduced in order to facilitate analyses beyond the scope of the present paper and have been described in detail elsewhere (3). The 12 groups (six neurotic and six psychotic) were reduced still further in size using a random selection process.…”

Job applicants with a history of severe emotional disturbance have recently become a major problem for those concerned with personnel selection. Some employers have adopted an explicit policy forbidding the hiring of people known to have such a history on the assumption that they do not represent good employment risks. Probably the majority, however, have established no specific policy, preferring to leave the matter to the discretion of individual employment interviewers. Prior to World War II the problem of establishing policy was, in fact, rarely raised, since interviewers found it very difficult to obtain specific information from applicants.Since the war it has become common practice to examine the discharge papers of applicants, or at least inquire about the conditions under which a man was separated from military service. Consequently, many personnel managers have become increasingly aware of the very considerable incidence of mental disease in the population. Unfortunately, however, little information is available as to the subsequent work histories of men who have suffered from severe emotional disturbances. Employers, caught between a very definite social pressure to hire all disabled veterans and their own misgivings as to the value of men with a history of neurosis or psychosis as workers, have lacked the factual data necessary to making valid policy decisions.The present paper represents an attempt to, at least in part, fill this gap, utilizing data gathered in connection with the Conservation of Human Resources Project's study of in-

“…Making use of service scores, Mason (1956) and Miner and Anderson (1958) reach apparently contradictory conclusions as to a relationship between emotional adjustment in general and intellectual level; but both seem to agree that schizophrenia-at least some types of it-tends to strike those of less than average intelligence. The serviceman, presumably functioning adequately, who was later to become schizophrenic, scored lower than did the general inductee on the Army General Classification Test (AGCT) (The Adjutant General's Office, 1945).…”

This article combines a review and meta-analysis of research on IQ in schizophrenia, with emphasis on areas of convergence in the findings, as well as questions that remain to be answered. Taken together, the findings suggest that early-onset and adult-onset schizophrenia are associated with intellectual deficits across the lifespan. Preschizophrenic children, adolescents, and young adults perform below matched controls on a variety of standardized measures of intelligence. Significant IQ deficits are also apparent after the onset of the disorder. Moreover, IQ is positively related to several indices of prognosis, and, among hospitalized patients, there is negative within-subject covariance between intellectual performance and symptom severity. Although there is fairly consistent evidence that Verbal IQ is higher than Performance IQ among schizophrenic patients, a more specific pattern of subtest performance is not apparent. A central question raised by the results is whether IQ is an independently determined factor that can serve to mitigate the vulnerability of individuals who are constitutionally predisposed to schizophrenia, or whether intellectual deficit is one manifestation of the constitutional predisposition to the disorder. The findings also raise the question of possible sex differences in the developmental determinants of schizophrenia: Meta-analyses revealed that premorbid IQ deficits are more prevalent among males than females.
