The SIT is an individual test of intelligence, for both children and adults, requiring no specialized training. (Authors)

The purpose of this investigation was to develop a short form of the WAIS that would have concurrent validity as well as construct validity. The short form, the "Adaptability" Scale, constructed was significantly related to Full Scale IQ's (construct validity) and to workshop performance (concurrent validity). (Author/CG)

Owing to the uncertainty concerning the concurrent validity of the SVIB and the KOIS, a test of accuracy of classification of men in the occupations common to both inventories was undertaken. The results suggest that neither show any less validity than had been shown in separate studies previously. (Author)

The Runner Studies of Attitude Patterns, a personality inventory, was used as the criterion to determine construct validity of Sounds and Images and Onomatopoeia and Images, two tests of verbal originality. (KW)

Provides a set of tables, similar to the Taylor-Russell tables, to evaluate the usefulness of selection tests in which assumptions require point-biserial validity coefficients. (MB)

Results of three factor analyses on the Frostig DTVP subtests indicated that the test measures one general visual perception factor, rather than the five postulated by Frostig. (Author/KW)

Results of two surveys among teachers as to the aims in education and the value of exams versus the value of continuous assessment are presented. (DB)
