In this study, the intelligence levels, maze learning capacity and scholastic achievements of 19 congenitally blind and two groups of 30 adventitiously blind subjects (17 of which with longer and IS of which with shorter duration of blindness) at the Rehabilita?tion Center For The Blind, at Emirgân, Istanbul, were compared. As a result of these studies it was found that : 1. There were no significant differences between the scholastic achievements of the three different groups of blind subjects. %. There were no significant positive correlations between the KIT Intelligence Test Scores and the scores gained in the Maze Learning of different groups. The congenitally blind group showed a great capacity for maze learning, whereas, their KIT scores as a group were lower than the other two groups. The second group of IS adventitiously late blinds showed the highest scores in their KIT achievements. These differences may be due to the development of different kinds of cognitive systems in the two different groups of blind subjects. S. The high correlations between the KIT scores and scholastic achievements of the subjects indicate to the possibility of predictive capacity of this test in the selection of pupils to the Center
