Managerial ability more on native intelligence than on edu-

which in turn are conditioned by a special 



type of intelligence a type of intelligence which should be sub- 

 jected to further analyses. 



Next to managerial ability among the causal factors of 



success as given on pages 19-20 stands business ability. A 



partial discussion of this quality has ap-

 from managerial with the present data, to dissociate it

gested above, that they have common ele- 

 ments that condition both qualities. 22 The third characteristic 

 in the relative value of the coefficients is native intelligence 

 r(fi) .732. This quality enters into other factors and must be 

 considered largely as a cause of those other factors. The co- 

 efficients of interest in this connection may be listed as follows: 



r(fi)=732 r(mi)=772 r(if)=732 



r(fi) :e=.604 r(mi) :p=744 r(im) 772 



r(fi) :en=.525 r(mi) :c=.684 r(ib)=752 



r(fi) :n=.451 r(mi) :e= .605 r(ie)=732 



r(fi) :m=.229 r(mi) :en=.523 r(in)=732 



r(mi) :n=.475 r(iv)= 709 



r(mi) :b=.428 r(ik)=.606 



r(ic)=.514 



r(ip)=.307

 with their divergent elements would make an interesting and 

 valuable study in itself but for this, new ratings are necessary.
