2 Unfortunately, having made it clear that the EPW index includes success that falls outside the scope of ableness (pp. 171–2) Morriss goes on to call it an index of ableness (p. 179), and indeed entitles the chapter in which the EPW index is developed ‘Measuring Ableness’. I shall assume, however ·, that the meaning of ‘ableness’ should be restricted to include what Morriss calls ‘active power’ (see below).
