9781332231263: An Absolute Point Scale for the Group Measurement of Intelligence

Synopsis

This book explores the concept of general intelligence and aims to create a scale for its measurement. It builds upon the work of the Stanford Revision of the Binet Scale and seeks to address limitations in existing intelligence tests. The author argues that intelligence, as measured by this scale, should be free of the error of the personal factor and suitable for administration to groups of at least 50, particularly in grades 4 through 8. The tests used in the scale are designed to be simple and easy to score, with responses limited to a single letter or number. The author presents data on the reliability and validity of the scale, including inter-test correlations and correlations with mental age as determined by the Stanford Revision of Binet Scale. The book concludes with a discussion of the significance of the scale in providing a more accurate and efficient means of measuring general intelligence.
