CHAPTER 17. 



RELATION OF HANK TO INTELLIGENCE. 



The degree of the dependence of rank upon intelligence rating may be taken to indicate 

 approximately the extent to which intelligence is operative in selection for promotion. A 

 complete comparison of ranks requires that both the commissioned and noncommissioned 

 grades, in relation to enlisted men, be taken into account. In this study officers and enlisted 

 men were grouped according to their rank — one rank to a group, except that the group of 

 sergeants included sergeants, sergeants first class, and sergeant majors, and that, among the 

 officers, a single group was made for "above major." The term "recruit" is used for a new 

 man not so far along in his training as a private, but still far enough along to have undergone 

 some selection beyond the draft and the depot brigade. Tables 399 to 405 present the figures 

 concerning enlisted men obtained from the principal sampling for Hollerith analysis. Data 

 presenting records for the officers will be found in tables 392-397 in the previous chapter.
