About the Book

'John Carroll has done a magnificent thing: he has reviewed and analyzed the world's literature on individual differences in cognitive abilities, collected over most of a century, to reach an integrated picture. No-one else could have done it. No-one else would have applied so consistent and impartial a system on the literature, and reached so balanced, complete, and useful a conclusion. It is a monumental contribution, destined to be bought and read in every university the world over that has a psychology or education department, and to be on many an individual scholar's shelf as well. It defines the taxonomy of cognitive differential psychology for many years to come.' Richard E. Snow, Stanford University. This set of three discs contains the data contained in Appendix B of the book, which was announced in the Spring 1993 Seasonal List.

Review :
"...a monumental contribution, destined to be bought and read in every university the world over that has a psychology or education department, and to be on many an individual scholar's shelf as well. It defines the taxonomy of cognitive differential psychology for many years to come." Richard E. Snow "There has to be a place for this book in any library covering differential psychology. Carroll takes a firm stand against critics of `reification', maintaining that general intelligence is indeed `a tangible and well-defined entity." Chris Brand, The Times Higher Education Supplement "...a remarkable book....addresses basic questions about what abilities exist, how they are organized, what tests measure them best, how they develop and change over time...simply the finest work of research and scholarship I have read and is destined to be the classic study and reference work of human abilities for decades to come." Robert B. Burns, Educational Researcher
