Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the Thorndike Intelligence Examination for High School Graduates and its capacity to measure general scholastic ability, using methods developed by Charles Spearman, a psychologist who introduced the two-factor theory of general intelligence. The author employs a battery of psychological tests, such as vocabulary, sentence completion, and arithmetic problems, to identify both shared and unique characteristics among the tests. By combining the results, the author concludes that the Thorndike Examination measures both a general intelligence factor and specific abilities unique to each test. The conclusions may offer insights into the nature of intelligence, the effectiveness of intelligence testing, and the possibilities of more precisely identifying and measuring cognitive abilities.
