Summary/Abstract: This paper presents a study of the relationship between intelligence and anxiety in primary school children. Anxiety in children of primary school age is a specific type of anxiety that manifests itself in the interaction of the child with the educational environment. In primary school children, anxiety is a very clear sign of difficulties in the process of school adaptation. The study shows that there is an inverse relationship between students' anxiety and their intelligence. Children who have shown a higher intellectual age have a lower level of anxiety. Accordingly, children who showed a lower intellectual age have a higher level of anxiety.
