Résumé / Abstract
The ratio of Asian to White in 45 academic disciplines correlated .09 with mean Verbal GRE of discipline, .79 with Quantitative GRE, .58 with Analytical GRE, .62 with Verbal + Quantitative + Analytical GRE, and .75 with Quantitative - Verbal GRE. The respective correlations of ratio of males to females in discipline were .12, .83, .61, .66, and .77. The rho between the two sets of correlations is 1.00 (p <.01.) The rank order Asian/White and male/female correlation with GRE mean were also similar, and the rho between these sets of correlations is.90 (p <.05). This correlation is congruent with the contention of Lynn (1987) that the structure of Mongoloid intelligence is to the structure of Caucasoid intelligence as the structure of male intelligence is to the structure of female intelligence.
