Zusammenfassung:	Recent advances in linear modeling in human genetics permit the resolution of the sources of assortative mating. Using these methods we examined the multivariate assortment relationships among education, general cognitive ability, and personality traits in two large samples of spouses from the Colorado Adoption Project (N = 334 couples) and the Hawaii Family Study of Cognition (N = 1165 couples). Results indicate a direct pairing of mates on the basis of educational level and general intelligence but no cross-assortment between the two.
