所有出生于1921年、1932年6月1日入学的苏格兰儿童(N=87498)都接受了一项有效的心理测量智力测试，即Moray House测试。我们在77岁时对其中101人进行了跟踪调查，并重新进行了同样的智力测试。同时提供的效度数据用于11岁(n=1,000)和77岁(n=97)的Moray House测试。11岁和77岁的Moray House测试分数之间的相关性为0.63，在重新测试的样本中，根据能力范围的衰减进行校正后，相关性调整为0.73。这是迄今为止报道的最长的心理测量智力跟踪研究，表明从童年到晚年，智力差异表现出很大的稳定性。
All Scottish children born in 1921 and attending school on June 1, 1932 (N = 87,498) undertook a validated test of psychometric intelligence, The Moray House Test. We followed up 101 of these people at age 77 and re-administered the same mental ability test. Concurrent validity data are provided for the Moray House Test at age 11 (n = 1,000) and age 77 years (n = 97). The correlation between Moray House Test scores at age 11 and age 77 was 0.63, which adjusted to 0.73 when corrected for attenuation of ability range within the re-tested sample. This, the longest follow-up study of psychometric intelligence reported to date, shows that mental ability differences show substantial stability from childhood to late life.
