Abstract

A presentation of ten brief case histories as part of a wider investigation of more than 100 persons whose IQ's five to fifteen years earlier were within the borderline range of about 60 to 80, to examine the predictive value of low IQ's in relation to social competence and to determine what factors contribute to an individual's social effectiveness. "These cases probably represent a selected group. Of the seven families concerned, six now own their own homes. This probably represents a fairly high degree of stability--financial, social, economic, perhaps also psychological." Portrait of L. L. Thurstone.
