Excerpt from A Scale of Performance Tests
This book is an attempt on our part to contribute to the few scales already in general use another kind of scale for the purpose of testing intelligence. The work grew directly out of the psychological examination of deaf children, for which purpose the ordinary scales for the measurement of intelligence were found to be practically useless. It was therefore decided to assemble a group of tests which did not involve any kind of language response. This work was begun in 1914 with the standardization of a few performance tests and since then has grown to the present dimensions. The work of testing has very largely been done by ourselves. We have, however, decided to incorporate in the scale at least one test that has been standardized by another worker, namely the Seguin Form Board Test as standardized by Sylvester. Miss Margaret M. Anderson, Graduate Assistant in the Department of Psychology, is responsible for the standardization of the Picture Completion Test. Miss Jeannette Reamer, Miss Alice E. Beekman, and Miss Lucille Boylan, Graduate Students, have helped greatly in the accumulation of data for some of the tests.
We take this opportunity to acknowledge the assistance and coöperation on the part of the teachers and principals in the schools of Columbus, in which the tests were conducted. In particular, we wish to thank Mrs. Scatterday, Principal of Northwood School; Miss Gordon, Principal of Ninth Avenue School; Miss Thompson, Principal of Second Avenue School; Miss Neerermer, Principal of Heyl Avenue School, and Mr. Bryant, Principal of Indianola School.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This seminal book marked a significant milestone in the application of mental tests and introduced a scale to gauge human intelligence. The invention of the Binetâ"Simon scale and its revisions by Terman and Yerkes and Bridges established a groundbreaking tool that revolutionized mental measurement and intelligence testing. This meticulously crafted book traces the evolution of intelligence testing, from its rudimentary beginnings to the development of performance tests that could bypass language barriers. It offers a comprehensive account of the various tests used, including the widely recognized Seguin Form Board, the Cube Test, and the Picture Completion Test. The author provides detailed descriptions of each test, including instructions for administration, scoring, and interpretation. Statistical data on age norms and the performance of different groups adds valuable insights into the practical application of these tests. The book also delves into the theoretical underpinnings of intelligence testing and discusses the ongoing debate surrounding the nature and measurement of intelligence. By presenting a thorough examination of performance tests and their role in assessing intelligence, this book remains an invaluable resource for professionals and students in psychology and education.
