Abstract
FOUR tests of perseveration1, the 'S', 'Triangles', 'Mirror Image' and 'Alphabet-Number' tests, were given to 92 boys at the Polish Boys' College, Glasgow. The boys were also classified, according to Kretschmer's well-known types of physique, into four groups, the asthenic, athletic, pyknic and indefinite. The results of the four perseveration tests were pooled, and the whole group was divided into two parts on a scale of 100 equal steps between the lowest and the highest perseverators in the group.
