The sibling respondents were asked to give answers to ten of the fourteen items from the Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). These items were assigned scores between 0 and 2, unless the interview was a partial and these questions were not asked. If the questions were not asked, the code is 9. The twenty-six 1992-93 graduates who are also siblings were only asked seven of these ten WAIS items. The other three - si003re, si005re and si008re are coded -3 for these twenty-six respondents. si001re is coded -3 for these respondents. See Appendix G, Cor572 for details about how the scores 0 - 2 were chosen. si001re Sum of the scores for the cognition questions. si002re In what way are an orange and a banana alike? si003re In what way are a dog and a lion alike? si004re In what way are an eye and an ear alike? si005re In what way are north and west alike? si006re In what way are an egg and a seed alike? si007re In what way are a table and a chair alike? si008re In what way are a poem and a status alike? si009re In what way are work and play alike? si010re In what way are a fly and a tree alike? si011re In what way are praise and punishment alike?
