1. Three patients with classic haemophilia presented with a similar intrarenal obstructive pattern. Two of the patients had been treated for idiopathic haematuria. The third patient developed the renal obstructive problem in his post‐operative period.
2. The pyelography studies implicate an intrarenal unilateral obstructive mechanism in each patient as cause for abnormality. Intratubular fibrin deposition is suggested as a possibility.
3. E‐ACA was being used as a therapeutic endeavor in all these patients and was discontinued just prior to the development of symptoms. The evidence presented suggests that the intrarenal obstruction may be secondary to E‐ACA therapy rather than a complication of the bleeding disease.
I have interpreted a recent Saturday Review article ( 1 ) most specifically, as a new variation on the theme of anti-psychometrics, ( 2 ) less specifically, as a new manifestation of humanistic dissatisfaction with scientific psychology, and (3) generally, as a protest h o m Snow's "traditional culture" regarding who in our society shall be called intellectually great. The variation involves atracking aptitude rests of creativity for their failure to measure aptitude for a~tistic creativity. I have s u~~c s t e d that the movement dimension of the Rorschach test does precisely th~s-although it does not measure what the Guilford originality tests measure, namely, aptitude for unusual, remote, and/or clever response. This aptirude is relatively independent of Rorschach's "capacity for 'inner creation'," a capacity which must be well above-average to qualify as a genius in Romantic terms. Because this independence has long been recognized by Romanticism, it is to be expected that an abundance of the Guilford aptitude will nor much impress the Romantically-oriented critic, even if the aptirude is coupled with lofty lQ, and the rwo are confirmed by achievement of the order of a Nobel Prize. The Romantically-oriented critic will call "genius" only someone rich in Rorschach's capacity, i.e., in capacity for "artistic inspiration, religious experience, etc." Only someone, I add (in the phrase of the article's title), who is something more than a "useful genius."
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
