Two samples of adult subjects of reasonably average intelligence were given IQ tests and a series of RT tests using 0, 1, 2, and 3 bits of information in a Hick paradigm. Both series showed negative correlation between IQ on the one hand, and RT and σRT, on the other, confirming earlier work. On the other hand, there was no evidence of correlation between the Hick slope and IQ, and the correlation between IQ and RT of σRT did not increase from 1 to 3 bits of information. It was found that the Hick paradigm did not apply to some 20% of the samples, and that the exclusion of these nonconformists increased the correlation between IQ and RT/σRT.
