Test performance of a selected group of part-Hawaiians

Abstract

The Binet (Vineland revision 1926), Porteus Maze and Healy P.C.II tests were given to 224 boys and 137 girls of Hawaiian or part-Hawaiian blood. Average performance remains fairly constant at 14 years, which must therefore be considered the upper limit of mental development. In general, those of Hawaiian-white-Chinese blood proved superior to other Hawaiian mixtures, those of pure Hawaiian blood inferior to the mixed groups.
