The article cites a study which examines pupillary response and sexual interest. The article presents an experiment that was designed to test whether 10 male and 10 female undergraduate students in psychology at the University of South Carolina would respond differentially to pictures of semi-nude males and Imitates. The students were not informed of the purpose of the experiment. The results indicate a tendency for the male students to dilate more to the semi-nude female pictures and for females to display the opposite pattern. However, for the clothed pictures, the males dilated more to male pictures.

This article focuses on the validity of the Slosson Intelligence Test (SIT). The SIT was developed for screening purposes and is intended to be more reliable and valid than group intelligence tests, while requiring significantly less administration time than the more standard individual intelligence tests such as the Stanford-Binet and Wechsker scales. A group of 76 children between the ages of 6 and 13 was administered the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children and SIT by separate examiners without knowledge of previous test results. SIT examiners included special education supervising teachers, a psychiatric social worker, and staff psychologists. A subgroup of 53 students from slow-learning to mildly retarded special classes was also administered the Wide Range Achievement Test.
