Intelligence Testing

Psychometrics- The measure of mental abilities, traits, and processes.

Achievement tests- Designed to measure skills or knowledge you have already learned. Aptitude tests- Designed to measure your ability to acquire skills or knowledge in the future.

Validity- Does the test measure what it is supposed to measure? Reliability- Does the test yield the same results over time?

Standardized (norm referenced) tests- Tests are pre-tested to determine a bell curve.

History of Intelligence Testing 1904 Binet-Simon test was created to test French school children in an effort to determine who needed remedial help. Less than a decade later Americans modified the test to determine innate intelligence and the IQ test was born. (Stanford-Binet became the leading test)

Why do you think it is that intelligence tests became so popular in America during the 20th century?

Three factors help account for this: 1.Screen incoming immigrants. 2.New laws mandating universal education. 3.Military screening.

Sample IQ Questions Age 4- Fill in the missing word: Brother is a boy; sister is a _______.

Age 9- In an old graveyard in Spain they have discovered a small skull which they believe to be that of Christopher Columbus when he was about 10 years old. What is foolish about this?

Adult- 1.Can describe the difference between misery and poverty, character and reputation, laziness and idleness. 2.Explains how to measure 3 pints of water with a 5-pint and a 2-pint can.
