THE MICHIGAN DAILY SHOW UPWARD TREND: Freshmen Display High Scores on Test University freshmen currently are receiving higher scores on standardized intelligence tests thanl the average United States college graduate, studies conducted by the University's Bureau of Psychologi- cal Services show. There is a steady trend in fresh- men scores on the American Coun- cil on Education's psychological, examination, a measure of general scholastic aptitude, John Milhol- land, chief of the bureau's evalua- tion and examinations divisions, reported. Note I. Q. Change Today's average total score on this test is 187 for University, freshmen whereas in 1853 it was 10 points lower. The shift, equiva- lent to an I. Q. change from 125 to 128, is above the national average for those who've complet- ed a college education. The average total scores were the same for University men and women with the men's advantage on the numerical part of the test offsetting the women's advantage in the linguistic section. Scores for out-of-state students were somewhat higher than Michi- gan residents particularly for men in the music school and for wo- men in the engineering college, the literary college, and the nursing school.

Drews, of Michigan State University report- ed earlier this year that children have gained almost year in aca- demic achievement measures dur- ing the past 10 years. "We've had to change the norms and make the tests harder," she said. Re-tests of the same individuals over a period of 10 to 20 years have shown that intelligence scores increase with age, at least until the middle 50's.
