The present study investigated the correlations between measures of behavioral rigidity and aptitudes. Forty-two male institutionalized delinquents were tested on the Test of Behavioral Rigidity and the General Aptitude Test Battery. Significant but small correlations were found between most aptitudes and the Psychomotor and Composite scales of the Test of Behavioral Rigidity and suggest that greater rigidity appears to be related to lower aptitudes.

The performance of adults with epilepsy on the General Aptitude Test Battery (GATB) was explored, with an emphasis on later employment outcome and on vocational counseling implications. The study sample had mean GATB scores which were significantly lower than the published GATB norms. They were also significantly lower than the GATB means obtained from comparison groups comprised of job applicants in the local general labor force and of persons receiving services from the local state rehabilitation agency. Mean scores for measures of dexterity and motor speed were especially low. It was found that GATB scores alone are not highly predictive of employment outcome, although subjects who did not enter competitive employment did tend to have lower mean scores. GATB patterns which may be indicative of lateralized cerebral dysfunction are discussed, along with case studies.
