Excerpt from Individual Differences in Ability and Improvement and Their Correlations The statistical side of this study has been undertaken with a view to obtaining evidence on some of the questions which are the most pressing in the subject of individual differences. It is obvious that the experimental determination of the efficiencies of the same individual in various tests is a problem of wide theoretical interest as well as of educational importance. This measurement of efficiencies has received considerable attention, but the lack of a definite answer to such a fundamental question as the following, indicates the large field of investigation which is still open. This question in its broadest aspect may be stated. Is there any such thing in mental achievement as general improvability? Does it follow that the individual who gains rapidly in one measured trait will also gain with corresponding rapidity in all similar traits? Only from a very limited study of Wimms ('07) can any answer to this question be given. It is one of the objects of this study to throw light on this problem of general improvability. The scope of the paper is indicated by the range of subjects which will be investigated in the following order: 1. The nature of composite and practise curves. 2. The correlation between initial abilities in various functions. 3. The correlation between initial and final abilities in various functions. 4. The correlation between improvability in one function and improvability in other functions. 5. The correlation between initial ability and improvability in each function. 6. The correlation between efficiency and accuracy in each function. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
