Abstract
|
The Wertheimer-Hesketh morphological index was determined for each subject by means of a centimeter tape and Bertillon caliper. Each subject completed a copy of the Bernreuter personality inventory, and in addition 31 of the group did the Neymann-Kohlstedt diagnostic test for introversion-extraversion. There resulted no basis for belief in any linear relationship between the Wertheimer-Hesketh morphological index and age or personality test scores. The non-linear coefficients, even after correction, are hardly trustworthy in view of the small number of cases involved and of the possible influence of a single extreme case upon the coefficient.
