Abstract

This study attempted to determine if a correlation existed between intelligence, motivation and basketball ability of fifteen high school varsity basketball players. Intelligence quotients from the Lorge Thorndike Intelligence Scale, and scores from the Motivation Inventory Test were correlated with basketball ability (determined by a subjective rating system).

The results indicated there was no significant correlation between intelligence, motivation and basketball ability.
