Individual and Group Differences, Revisited
Captions available
The idea
Individual differences are qualities unique to one person; group differences are shared by an identifiable group, and every group difference describes an average tendency with wide individual variation inside it.
In practice
Knowing a student's group tells a teacher little about what that student can do.
Where people slip
Group categories are convenient but arbitrary.
