Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Mental Tests for School Use, Vol. 17 In the spring of 1919 Doctor Holley, while acting as assistant director of the Bureau of Educational Research of the University of Illinois, tried out six group intelligence scales in the schools of Champaign, Illinois. A kind of survey, narrow but intensive in character, was thus afforded. The data, however, with a little more analysis could be made to yield important results as to the reliability and validity of each of these six scales as instruments for measuring intelligence. With this thought in mind Doctor Holley carried out some of the necessary analyses and wrote the monograph which follows. Of the six tests, three have become popular in a large way. They are the "Otis Group Intelligence Scale," the "Primer Scale," and the "Virginia Delta I" (now known as the "Intelligence Examination, Delta 2"). Besides the six which were used in this investigation there were at least three others which might have been used. In all there appear to have been nine rather well-known tests at the time the survey at Champaign was started. Since then the number has been materially increased. Not only did several new tests come out during the school year, 1919-1920, but at least three scales, complete in every essential detail, have been published this summer in anticipation of the "fall trade." The World Book Company announces Terman´s "Group Test of Mental Ability"; Lippincott annouces the "Dearborn Group Tests of Intelligence"; and the Bureau of Educational Research of the University of Illinois announces the "Illinois General Intelligence Scale." It is apparent that the movement to measure intelligence by means of group tests is well under way. Under these circumstances school people are inquiring somewhat anxiously, "Which among all the intelligence tests is best?" Like most general questions, this has no general answer. The "best" test is the one which is most appropriate. It may not be best at all times, with all pupils, and for all purposes. The term "best" therefore needs qualification. Nevertheless, no matter what the qualifications, there are certain characteristics which a good test - to say nothing of the best one - should possess.
