Utilized time-saving Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) scoring procedures in two ex post facto investigations following approaches outlined by Vincent (1979) and Himelstein (1983). Results indicated high correlation between the Vincent and Himelstein approaches and WAIS Verbal, Performance, and Full Scale IQs while maintaining integrity of…

A study was conducted to examine how principal components analysis (PCA) and Profile Analysis via Multidimensional Scaling (PAMS) can be used to diagnose individuals observed score profiles in terms of core profile patterns identified by each method. The standardization sample from the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Third Edition…

Infants in a day care center were studied until age 36 months and tested periodically with the Bayley Scales, the Stanford-Binet, and the ITPA. Predictions of I.Q. were fulfilled much better than in previous studies and a constant environment was suggested as a contributing factor. (ST)

Kindergarten children were tested on Kershner's spatial model, two WISC performance tests, and two Piagetian tasks. Results validated Kershner's work but not his claims that his test measures conservation or dimensional concepts. (ST)

The Slosson Intelligence Test and the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (Form L-M) were administered to 44 children. A comparison of measured IQs indicated that the Slosson overestimated IQ when compared with the Stanford-Binet, for 39 of the 44 children. The results also suggest that although a high degree of correlation was attained with the…

In this study, the manipulation of motivation conditions through explicit examiner's expectancy of good performance was used to improve significantly the performance on intelligence tests. (Author/KM)

This comparative study of these two instruments indicates that they yield similar IQ scores when used in the assessment of disadvantaged preschool children. (Author)

Purpose of this study was to test a short version of the Stanford-Binet, Form L-M using a group covering a wide age and ability level in an attempt to reduce the time factor involved in administration of some of the S-B tests, without sacrificing the reported accuracy. (Author/CB)

Reviewed are a definition of intelligence level, the origin of intelligence tests, technical points concerning intelligence test construction, and individual intelligence tests. (CB)

Briefly reviews the history of intelligence testing, and concludes that the proper use of intelligence tests is to assess the potentialities of the individual as he is--the combined product of his heredity, environment and past experiences--in order to help him find his most satisfying place in society."
