A study of the ACE and reading scores of 1681 freshmen indicates significant mean differences among students enrolled in the Liberal Arts, Science, Business, and Education Schools. In general, the standing of the group was higher in intelligence than in reading. Reading scores showed a correlation of .70 with the linguistic score of ACE, .36 with the quantitative score, and .71 with the total ACE score. It appears that ACE ratings are highly influenced by reading skill, which is susceptible to cultivation, a point which must be considered when ACE results are to be interpreted.
