摘要：The current study aims to find out whether similarity of intelligence is associated with forming friendship among adolescents with similar sociometric status (mutual relationship between Popular-Popular; Rejectee-Rejectee; Controversial- Controversial). For this purpose a sample of 209 male adolescents and 225 female adolescents of class VII, IX and XI was selected from Sr. Sec. Schools of Sonepat District. Culture Fair Intelligence Scale 2, Form B and Sociometric Status Measure: Partial Rank Order Scale was administered. The Findings revealed that the theory of similarity holds good in formation of friendship between two popular adolescents, regardless of gender.
