Cognitive clustering—How general?

Abstract

Do “cognitive types”—groups of individuals with distinctive patterns of cognitive strengths and weaknesses—exist? The Texas Adoption Project (Horn & Loehlin, 2010) included 965 individuals with intelligence test subtest scores. Clusters formed from these individuals were compared with clusters found by others using the same intelligence test, and between subsamples in the present study—two random subsamples, two methods of clustering, two intelligence tests, the two sexes, and two generations. Moderate consistencies were found for the majority of the comparisons within the present sample. There was less cross-study agreement.
