Abstract

On a sample of 540 men and a sample of 290 women aged to 19 to 27 of relations among 9 morphological measures and 3 measures of intellectual efficiency were analyzed. It was found that these configurations were holly incongruent. For men, these is a systematic positive correlation between intellectual efficiency and the adaptively favorable morphological system. For women, these relations ae much more complex. The ectomorphic characteristics are in a positive, while the mesomorphic and endomorphic are in a negative with the measures of intellectual efficiency.
