Monozygotic and Dizygotic Twins: A Comparative Analysis of Mental Ability Profiles.
Segal, Nancy L.
Child Development, v56 n4 p1051-58 Aug 1985
Among a group of 103 children with a mean age of eight years, full-scale IQ correlation was significantly higher for monozygotic than dizygotic pairs. Monozygotic pairs also showed significantly greater concordance for subtest profile than dizygotic pairs. The usefulness of profile analysis is examined, and directions for future research are suggested. (Author/RH)
