The Relationship Between Altitude – I.Q. Discrepancy And Anxiety, Claire Kepler Purcell, John Drevdahl, Kenneth Purcell Jan 1952

The Relationship Between Altitude – I.Q. Discrepancy And Anxiety, Claire Kepler Purcell, John Drevdahl, Kenneth Purcell

Department of Psychology: Faculty Publications

Recently there has been increasing interest in the use of intra-individual test discrepancies as a measure of functioning efficiency. One of the major problems in establishing scatter patterns has been that of finding a suitable internal reference point. The three reference points most commonly employed are the mean or IQ, the vocabulary score, and the altitude or maximum score. Psychologists who believe that the G factor is an ability argue for the use of the IQ as a reference point while those who believe that it is a capacity use altitude as a reference point.

The Rorschach Test With Children From Two To Six Years Old, Richard H. Dana Jan 1950

The Rorschach Test With Children From Two To Six Years Old, Richard H. Dana

Regional Research Institute for Human Services

The development of the ink-blot as a psychological tool has taken a thousand years. The Rorschach, a formal clinical representative of this heritage, is a product of this "testing age" and has been extensively used with children.

A Correlation Of Stability And Intelligence Tests, J. Byron Birch May 1925

A Correlation Of Stability And Intelligence Tests, J. Byron Birch

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

It is my purpose in this paper to study the correlation between the results secured from the Army Alpha Intelligence test and the Star Mirror Stability test. I recognise the fact that intelligence is the most important factor in human conduct and therefore do not want to discount any reliable, objective intelligence test. It is admitted by most educators that there are other important factors in human conduct. Thorndike stated, "stability has a great weight in mentality". Goddard, in his work on Levels of Intelligence, at Princeton University, said, "I know there are other factors, but solve the X now …
