The accomplishment ratio : $b A treatment of the inherited determinants of disparity in school product

The changes in rates of progress are expressed in summaries by subject
matter in Tables 9, 10, and 11. Approach of Arithmetic Quotient to
Intelligence Quotient is measured in Table 9 by:
1. Comparison of _r_ in June with _r_ in November.
2. Comparison of M_{IQ}-M_{AQ} in June and M_{IQ}-M_{AQ} in November.
3. Comparison of S.D.’s of Arithmetic and Intelligence Quotients in June
and November.
The P.E.’s of each of these differences were obtained by
P.E._{diff}² = P.E.₁² + P.E.₂² - 2 _r_₁₂ P.E.₁ P.E.₂
The only M_{IQ}-M_{SQ} in Table 9 which does not show a decrease at
least two times as large as the P.E. of either of the elements involved,
is the 8th grade; and this is due to the limits of the test used. As
mentioned before, the 8th grade did not register its true abilities in
June since a perfect, or nearly perfect, score in the test was too easy
to obtain. The small arithmetic S.D.’s in Grade 8 and consequent great
S.D._{IQ}-S.D._{SQ} is due to the same cause.
Tables 10 and 11 present the summary of facts with regard to Thorndike
Reading Quotients, the first and second years respectively.
THE RATIOS
The discussion which follows concerns _Ratios_, not _Quotients_.
