Synopsis

A clear, practical method for estimating a child’s intelligence using simple tests

This edition presents a straightforward approach to measuring how a child develops mentally. Using a series of precise questions and small tasks, it helps determine whether a child is on track for their age, ahead, or slower to develop. The method emphasizes observable performance and simple, age‑grouped tests that can be used by teachers and caregivers in real settings.

Two short sections explain how the tests are organized and how to apply them. The first describes the overall idea and the structure of the test series. The second provides detailed instructions for each test, with practical tips for administering them in a calm, classroom or home environment. The material is written to be accessible to professionals and parents seeking a reliable, nontechnical way to assess development.

• Clear steps for administering each test and for interpreting results in relation to a child’s age.

What you’ll learn
