About This Book

A concise practical handbook that sets out step-by-step procedures for administering and scoring a revised intelligence scale. It emphasizes examiner qualifications, rapport building, accurate recordkeeping, correct use of formulas, guidance on selecting and substituting tests, time limits, and scoring to determine mental age and intelligence quotient. The text summarizes essential precautions, provides brief protocols and a condensed record form, and stresses avoidance of coaching and parental interference. It offers procedural rules for consistent application and guidance for interpreting test failures and successes, intended as a portable complement to more detailed theoretical and methodological treatments.
