This study constructs and estimates a 13-variable, 7-stage causal model of the career-attainment process of low-IQ and average-IQ young men. Multiple- regression analysis was used to estimate the model on the low-IQ groups within white and black racial categories separately. The findings showed gross differences to exist between low-IQ subjects on a number of variables. The regression results, however, indicated that the determinants of career attainment had similar effects among low-IQ and average-IQ subjects and that the status-attainment theory applied equally well to the two IQ groups.
