Personality organization in cognitive controls and intellectual abilities

Psychological Issues publishes four monographs per volume. The study represented here is monograph #8 of Volume II, No. 4, 1960. The study described in this monograph was designed to explore relationships between two general classes of variables, cognitive control principles and intellectual abilities. Our purpose in this venture was twofold: (a) to illustrate that these two domains of cognitive organization have commonalities which can be conceptualized within a single set of principles of personality organization; and (b) to explore several hypotheses concerning relations between particular control principles and abilities.
