This paper was presented March 1, 1969 at the meeting of the Southeastern Psychological Association, New Orleans.

It was hypothesized that WISC subtests lend themselves to highly objective scoring and therefore ratings would be highly comparable. Results revealed discrepancies between raters. (Author)

Analysis of minimum competency testing administered in 1973 to handicapped students in North Carolina demonstrated the need to devise an acceptable alternative for students with little chance of success. The unknown effects of test modifications for different handicaps was found to be another problem. (CL)

Suggestions and recommendations are made for using the Perkins-Binet Tests of Intelligence for the Blind for low vision and blind children. Suggestions cover such aspects as organization and preparation prior to administration and scoring. (CL)

Results are presented which suggest that the learning occurring between two sections of the Group Embedded Fiqures Test is independent of the order in which the sections are worked. (Author/GK)

This paper demonstrates that multiple comparison tests using a pooled error term are dependent on the circularity assumption and shows how to compute tests which are insensitive (robust) to this assumption. (Author/GK)

Presently available test statistics for the Rasch model are shown to be insensitive to violations of the assumption of test unidimensionality. Two new statistics are presented. One is similar to available statistics, but with some improvements; the other addresses the problem of insensitivity to unidimensionality. (Author/JKS)

The Jastak System of obtaining scores on "personality" dimensions is currently widely promoted. It is shown to be totally spurious, based on hereditarian doctrines long in disrepute, and dangerous in use. The promotional techniques used are also described. (Author)

A table is provided and described for prorating Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory scales when the entire Form R has not been completed. Good concordance of profile types was found for 300 and 350 completed questions. Interpretations based on 200 items may be suspect. (Author)

The article reviews a number of problems in the assessment of young children with severe handicaps and suggests a number of steps to improve the assessment process. (Author/DLS)

Generalizability theory is used to characterize and quantify expected variance in cutting scores and to compare the Nedelsky and Angoff procedures for establishing a cutting score. Results suggest that the restricted nature of the Nedelsky (inferred) probability scale may limit its applicability in certain contexts. (Author/BW)

A comprehensive overview of the beginnings of attitude measurement is merged with a discussion of recent developments. A synthesis of new research on technical issues related to the reliability and validity of attitude measures and contemporary views on attitude formation and change are presented. (Author)

Tests used to estimate mental abilities (measures of intelligence, perceptual motor ability, and early identification of learning disabilities) are critically examined. (Author)

Essentially a do-it-yourself-kit for security in a citywide testing program, this article presents a step-by-step description of what was done by the Office of Educational Evaluation in New York City to redress a serious testing problem. (JC)
