Table 274 (negroes) and table 275 (whites) show the percentages of men passing each test 

 at each mental age. The tests are arranged in order of difficulty from easiest to most difficult, 

 as determined by the total number of passes, including assumed passes below the basic year 

 and assumed failures above the year in which no tests were passed. Table 276 arranges for 

 ease in comparison the respective performances of negroes and whites in certain tests in which 

 there is indication of superiority or inferiority of negroes to whites. 



Table 274. — Number of cases passing each test at each mental age, Stanford-Binet scale, 93S Negroes, Camp Funston. 



The results of the Funston report in part confirm those of the Sevier report. This is espe- 

 cially true of the free association test. For purposes of comparison the tests of the Stanford- 

 Binet scale in which the negroes are superior or inferior to the whites are listed here. The 

 percentage of white score made on corresponding tests of the point scale examination are also 

 given where such corresponding tests exist. 



The negroes appear as superior to the whites in free association and inferior to them in 

 counting backwards in both investigations. The negroes show slight superiority also in the 

 arrangement of weights. In the other tests the results are contradictory or doubtful.
