B. The Description of Data
There are two instruments used to get the data in conducting the research with the two variables the Reading Comprehension test score and IQ test score. it
was mentioned in the previous chapter, that the writer conducted field research and documentation research.
The form of the test were different in the topic. The score of reading comprehension test got from the student reading comprehension test by the
writers, and the score IQ derived from the data of YACOBI Yayasan Consultasi dan Bimbingan each of the criterion has 8 levels Classification and description of
student C.
The Data Analysis
The score of data of this research have been obtained by doing research on the influence of students intelligence on their reading comprehension test scores to
the eight class students at SMPN 2 Pamulang In this chapter the writer gives the report concerning with the data
description, compares the results of those two scores. The data of psychological test result and reading comprehension scores can be seen on the following table in
data analysis To simplify calculation the writer makes an interval ordinal scale of
psychological test result and reading comprehension scores point, as seen on the table.The formula is:

Based on the table above, the writer has calculated the result X = 1478 and Y = 1316. Then the writer tried to find out the mean variable with the
