Among groups of delinquents, where we would expect the purely conative cases to be more common, we find that a careful diagnosis of feeble-mindedness on the basis of test data, medical examination and case history indicates that conative cases without serious intellectual deficiency are much rarer than intellectually deficient delinquents. At least this is the evidence of one study where such information is available. Kohs at the Chicago House of Correction found among 219 cases over 16 years of age, which he diagnosed as feeble-minded, only 28 tested XI and there were only 52 who did not test either presumably deficient or uncertain intellectually according to our criterion. Another bit of evidence is that collected at the Clearing House for Mental Defectives in connection with the New York Post-Graduate School of Medicine, where 200 consecutive cases (108 males) were examined by Miss Hinckley. Her graphs show that only 15% tested X or above with the Binet revised scale, _i. e._, above those presumably deficient in intellect. The cases were from 13 to 42 years of age. The clearing house provides an opportunity for social workers to have suspected deficients examined and the few cases over X seems to indicate that the purely conative type is not very commonly met with among the social workers. When we turn to the institutions for the feeble-minded we find that they are today caring for few solely conative cases. Although I can find no tables which give both the life ages and mental ages of the individual inmates, we can at least be sure that few test so high as X, or above with the Binet scale. This means that only a few have as yet reached the threshold for passable adult intellects, which should be attained by 15 years of age. At the Minnesota state institution for the feeble-minded in Faribault among 1266 inmates, excluding epileptics, 41 tested X; 28, XI; 12, XII; and 8, XIII, a total of 7% (_154_). At Vineland, N. J., Goddard reported among 382 inmates, 14 tested X; 5, XI; and 7, XII, about 7%. Some of the children who were under 15 in life-age might later develop above the limit for intellectual deficiency. Of the 1266 at the Minnesota institution, however, 508 were 15 or over at the time of their admission, so that at least 82% of the 508 were clearly intellectually deficient. Eight per cent. more tested X and were in the doubtful group in intellectual ability according to the criteria we have adopted. This suggests that not more than about 10% of those who are at present isolated in institutions are there for feebleness of will alone. It seems to confirm our presumption that the intellectually deficient discovered by tests form the great majority of the social deficients who need prolonged care or assistance.
