Japanese,
British and American Adolescents Compared for Spearman's G and
for the Verbal, Numerical and Visuospatial Abilities
R. Lynn, S. Hampson & R. Bingham |
In
this study a Japanese Intelligence Test, the Kyoto New NX, is administered
to a sample of 13-14 year olds in Northern Ireland. The Kyoto Test
provides measures of the verbal, numerical and visuospatial abilities,
and of Spearman's g. The study uses a new test and a new methodology
to estimate Japanese values for these abilities. The results show
that the Japanese are particularly strong on the visuospatial abilities
and less strong on the verbal and numerical abilities and on Spearman's
g. These results are in general consistent with other studies of
the profile of Japanese abilities.
