A questionnaire study revealed a significant correlation of .32 between self-estimates of intelligence and college grades. When A.C.E. scores were controlled, the correlation dropped to .20 and was not significant. "When the subjects were asked to assume that they discovered their intellectual rank was much higher and much lower than they had estimated, their reported aspiration level for grades showed a corresponding increase and decrease . . . . When subjects were asked to estimate their concern over failure after assuming their intellectual rank to be much higher and much lower than they had estimated, there was no difference from existing concern over failures in the first case, but in the second it dropped significantly."
