\begin{Description}\relax
Six tests were given to 112 individuals. The covariance matrix is
given in this object.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}ability.cov\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Details}\relax
The tests are described as
\describe{
\item[general:] a non-verbal measure of general intelligence using
Cattell's culture-fair test.
\item[picture:] a picture-completion test
\item[blocks:] block design
\item[maze:] mazes
\item[reading:] reading comprehension
\item[vocab:] vocabulary
}

Bartholomew gives both covariance and correlation matrices,
but these are inconsistent.  Neither are in the original paper.
