Canadian seventh-graders were given intelligence, mathematics, and English tests. These scores and their class grades were compared with personality questionnaire measures of aggression, self-concept, and attitudes. Substantial correlations were obtained between the ability and personality variables, with marked sex differences. (Author/SJL)
