| Summary |
"There has grown up a science of general intelligence. This book is intended to serve as an introduction to that science. By the science of intelligence I do not mean simply the art of applying a modern scale for the measurement of intelligence. To apply these scales is the task of the specially trained expert. Further, no matter how successfully the tests of intelligence are conducted, the immediate results in themselves have little value--they must be interpreted in connection with other data before any definite conclusions can be drawn. This text focuses, rather, on a knowledge of intelligence in all its aspects and relations--a very broad and thorough knowledge. The intelligence tester, in addition to his technical skill, requires this broader knowledge. And to the average worker with children, to the educator, whether administrator or teacher, just this broader knowledge is of infinite value. Thus, it is with this material that the following pages are concerned; they do not comprise a manual of intelligence testing. Some account, it is true, is given of the methods for measuring intelligence. This is done, however, for the light that a knowledge of these methods throws upon the meaning of intelligence, and upon the many important conclusions to which their use has led. Throughout the text a focus is given to the importance of the measurement of intelligence to the field of education. The topic of intelligence is naturally what the science of education depends upon and finds as its surest foundation." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2005 APA, all rights reserved). |
