Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Group Tests of Intelligence There is an old proverb which say that an ounce of mother wit is worth a clergy, "wit" being the old English word for intelligence, and "clergy" old English word for learning. And examiners have always been under the reproach of being unable to separate the wit from the clergy: they cannot tell us how much of a candidates success at an examination is due to good brains and how much is due to good opportunities. It is the business of mental tests to remove this reproach. For it is the business of mental tests to extract the element of wit from the compound of wit and clergy. That they do their work imperfectly is readily admitted; but they are doing it better every day; and so important is the task that it is better to do it badly than not to do it at all. There are people who think otherwise, people who believe that it is better not to do it at all. They say that mental testing is an attempt to bring exactitude into a realm which is essentially vague and indeterminate. They seek refuge in the plea that teaching is not a science, but an art; that the teacher is not a theorist dealing with abstractions, but a craftsman whose workshop is the classroom and whose material is the plastic mind of childhood.
