Further analyses of data from a large previously reported study were performed to determine whether three age groupings affected previously reported interrelationships between intuition, cognitive style, and hemispheric preference. Although there were comparatively few subjects over 35 yr. of age, membership in age groupings significantly predicted intuition for the oldest group. Older subjects were also significantly more verbal in thinking style and significantly more field dependent. Age differences were unrelated to subjects' hemispheric preference. It was noted again that these results re-flea the constraints of the various measures employed.
