(is this the right place?)

I've just finished reading an article about the selection of industrial
operators using the one-hole test (reference at the end of the posting).
Anyway, it says that across the intelligence spectrum, the correlation of
how many times one can push the pin in and the intelligence of the 
person is r= -0.15; p<0.01.  When the lower 10 percentile is compared, you get a correlation of r=.49; p<0.01.	When the upper 10 percentile is compared, you
get a negative correlation (r= -0.62; p<0.01).	Now, I'm not wanting to
argue with the data (it has been corroborated); however, I'd like to
see some reasons why this would be so...
