While a slight superiority in scoring has been demonstrated in one study (Willard, 1968), a marked deficit has been noted as well (Watson and Klett, 1974).The current study was based on the assumption that if the standard measures of intelligence are indeed culturally biased, the disadvantaged individuals will score lower on them than they would on a less biased instrument. If this assumption is correct, then the disadvantaged individuals should score higher on the Cattell Culture Fair than on a standard test.…”
