[36] For reliability of measures of reasoning ability, see Appendix, p. 100.
[37] As stated in Part I, p. 17, a score is arbitrarily set at one. The fact that the zero point is unknown in both reasoning and fundamentals makes these scores less amenable to ordinary handling than they might at first thought seem. Hence, entire distributions are either printed or placed on file at Teachers College.
[38] For the data from which these calculations were made, see first column of table XXI, p. 52, and the first columns of tables III and IV, p. 21. The absence of known zero points makes such computations inadvisable except in connection with the more reliable evidence of the preceding table.
