摘要：This is an empirical study which examined the relevance of intelligence tests (verbal and non-verbal) in different academic subjects. A sample of 200 students (100 males and 100 females) of Eleventh class from different schools of Shimla district in Himachal Pradesh (India) were tested on Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) and General Mental Ability Test (GMAT) together with their scores on different subjects. A multiple regression analysis revealed an interesting pattern of relationship. SPM has been found to be the best correlate of Mathematics and Science subjects contributing 53% and 58% of variance in males' sample and 32% and 36% of variance in females' sample. Whereas, GMAT, correlated best with languages and social science subjects accounting for 28% to 44% in males' sample and 28% to 56% in females' sample.
