Περίληψη

Raven Standard Progressive Matrices was administered to three high-schools in Greece: One rural, one urban and one pilot. Means and Standard Deviations were found for the above-mentioned test and for the grafes of the pupils. Differences between boys and girls in achievement and intelligence of the same school were insignificant, but between schools were significant at the 1% level as measured by the t-test. This means that there are great disadvantages for children of rural areas in comparison to children of urban areas as far as achievement and intelligence are concerned. Then the Pearson Product Moment Correlation coefficient was found between intelligence and achievement in each school which was significant, except for the pilot school where the sample was very homogeneous in these two qualities.
