S ummary . Anthony's theory (1973) of the development of extraversion in children requires that there should be a negative correlation between extraversion and intelligence in adolescents over the age of 13 or 14. To test this, Raven's Progressive Matrices and the Junior Eysenck Personality Inventory were administered to a large group (802) of 15‐ and 16‐year‐olds. There was a significant positive correlation between extraversion and the Matrices, so Anthony's theory was not supported.
