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...
