TY - JOUR AU - Fulker, D. W. AB - Describes the techniques which can be used in the analysis of human behavior by the methods of biometrical genetics and compares them with those of the Multiple Abstract Variance Analysis, and other approaches. These techniques are applied to a number of personality and cognitive measures using published data. Underlying assumptions of the analyses used are discussed and tests of significance for departure from them are demonstrated. Although data were often inadequate, the techniques provided new information on the gene action controlling the measures and on their evolution. It is concluded that the outcome of the reanalyses indicates the unique value of the biometrical approach. (44 ref.)
