Normative data on the Kagan Matching Familiar Figures test for adult male incarcerates

This study presents normative data on the Kagan Matching Familiar Figures test, a measure of impulsivity/reflection, for 200 adult male incarcerates (108 Black, 92 White) in a state correctional system. Also presented are t-tests between groups and correlations between the MFF and a series of demographic and test measures. Low, significant correlations were found between the MFF scores (time, number correct) and race, IQ, education, and reading levels. A comparison with college male and female norms is provided. The value and use of the MFF as a measure of cognitive style are discussed.
