1 Generation Scotland Cognitive Expert Working Group Ian Deary & Riccardo Marioni et al.

2 Overview Personality traits – neuroticism – extraversion GHQ-28: mood Cognitive ability – memory – processing speed – executive function – vocabulary Core Team

Phenotypic correlations – do those with more education score highly on intelligence tests and live in less deprived areas? Published in Intelligence (2014)
