The 1960 and 1972 revisions of the Stanford Binet, form LM are compared. The normative tables are examined in detail and the adequacy and usefulness of the 1972 revision is evaluated. The author concludes that the 1972 restandardization procedures reveal notable deficiencies which cause it to compare unfavorably with the McCarthy Scales and the…

The present study is aimed at providing information concerning trends in intellectual performance in delinquent boys, as well as among the various ethnic subgroups within the delinquent population. (Author)

An investigation of three intelligence tests reveals that the Slosson shows signs of becoming a legitimate substitute for other intelligence tests, while the Columbia yielded erratic results for the mentally retarded participants in this study. (Author/KM)

Issues surrounding the degree of genetic or environmental control of intelligence are discussed in relation to existing IQ tests. (KM)

The Devereux Short Form and the standard Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children were administered in counterbalanced order to 26 mentally retarded children (mean age 12 years, mean IQ 50). (Author)

575 adults drawn from both rural and urban areas completed a questionnaire designed and used originally by Flugel in 1947 to see how far lay opinions on intelligence reflect views held by professional psychologists and how far lay responses now differ from those reported by Flugel. (Editor)

The reliability and predictive validity of the WPPSI was investigated with a sample of lower SES Mexican-American children. The results revealed that the WPPSI has high reliability, as determined by internal consistency procedures, but validity coefficients were not significant. The WPPSI may be inappropriate for special program placement purposes…

The findings of this investigation show that the SIT and WISC are measuring the same things to a statistically significant degree. (Author)

Neither black nor white intellectual performance was affected by the race of the tester. However, regardless of the race of the subjects, when tested by an E of the same race, students demonstrated more negative attitudes both towards blacks and other people in less powerful roles. (Author)

Administration of the BG in a group situation provided as much, and as reliable, information as did individual administration. Besides the economy, it provided an opportunity to observe the individual child's functioning as a member of a peer group, both in relation to it and in conjunction with it. (Author)

Early intelligence tests have built-in biases that correspond to the test constructor's social values. (RA)

A Hebrew translation of the Wechsler Preschool Primary Scale of Intelligence was administered to 1072 Israeli-born children aging 4-6 1/2 years. First generation Oriental children performed relatively lower, but the gap between second-generation Israeli children of Oriental and Western origin is notably diminished. (Authors)

Results were quite similar for each of the factor analytic procedures, an indication of a strong underlying structure of the WPPSI tests. Regardless of the factor analytic technique used, two factors appeared--one clearly verbal and the other clearly performance--at each of the three age levels. (Authors)
