Excerpt from An Absolute Point Scale for the Group Measurement of Intelligence
The Synonym and Antonym Test consisted of 50 pairs of words as Shown in the sample. The pupils were required to indicate by the letters, S and 0, whether the words of a pair meant the same or the opposite.
The Proverb Test consisted of 20 proverbs in two sets of ten prov erbs, each set followed by twelve statements, one Of which ex plained each of the ten proverbs, there being two extra statements in each set not explaining the proverbs. The pupils were required to place in the parenthesis before each proverb the number of the statement which explained it.

I. Introduction
Purpose - The purposes of this study are:
(1) To construct a scale for the measurement of general mental ability, such scale being: (a) suitable primarily for administration to the pupils in grades 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of the elementary school, (b)capable of being administered to groups of at least 50, (c)so constructed that the scoring is both rapid and, as far as possible, free from the error of the personal factor, (d)built upon the general plan for an Absolute Point Scale outlined by the writer (see Ref.10). Such construction would involve the validation and graduation of the tests, the determination of the probable error of a determined measure of general mental ability, etc.(
(2) To investigate the correlation of the mental abilities tested by the scale. It is not deemed feasible, in the space to which this article is limited, to attempt to discuss the nature of intelligence, such as it is presumed to measure by the present scale, nor the various definitions of intelligence which have been given or may be implied by the various intelligence scales in present use. These subjects will be touched upon in various connections in the discussion. The writer will therefore proceed immediately to describe the manner in which the present scale was constructed. II. The Tests Requirements of a Scale for Mass Testing. The chief object of testing in groups, of course, is economy of time. One of the most essential means of accomplishing this purpose is that the responses required be very simple. This makes for speed both in the administration and in the scoring of the tests. It has been the aim, therefore, so to arrange the tests in the present scale that there would be only one correct answer to each item and that this might be indicated merely by making a letter or figure or drawing a line.

Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781332231263_0
