Death, Taxes, and Bad Intelligence Tests.

Sternberg, Robert J.

Intelligence, v15 n3 p257-69 Jul-Sep 1991

Bad intelligence tests seem as inevitable as death and taxes. However, new theories of intelligence are resulting in some promising developments. Thirteen approaches to the measurement of intelligence are described, divided into the following categories: classical psychometric; developmental; culture-sensitive; cognitive; biological; and systems.
