Intelligent Intelligence Testing.
Pedrini, Bonnie; Pedrini, D. T.
Intelligence tests should be used to help persons; they should not be used to penalize persons. Furthermore, our focus should be on treatment; it should not be on labeling. IQ testers often stigmatize young children and poor persons (children, adolescents, adults). Large groups of Black Americans, Spanish Americans, and Indian Americans are probably mis-classified as to ability because of a differential society and culture. This paper attempts to develop a better understanding of tests and testing. If intelligence testing is to continue, it should be done intelligently. But the time, effort, and money could be better spent in treatment procedures: developmental, corrective, remedial, educational, vocational, personal, social. (Author)
