• In this study literary appreciation was measured by the Carroll Prose Appreciation Test, the Burton Short Story Comparison Test and the Burton Short Story Choice Test; other characteristics were tested by the California Test of Mental Maturity, the Iowa Silent Reading Test and the Minnesota Occupational Scale. The correlations of scores of 190 twelfth-grade pupils indicated that verbal intelligence and silent reading ability are factors in literary appreciation, but there is also a separate factor apart from these. Socioeconomic status appears to be a contributing factor, but the relationship of non-verbal intelligence to literary appreciation is negligible.
