q1 · i? · review · r?

The reviewer's assessment of the reviewed textbook's intelligence chapter, which instructs teachers in using the Trabue Language Scales, the Otis and the Haggerty tests as measures of intelligence. The reviewer calls the chapter a useful innovation yet finds it "the least satisfactory in the book."

"We are surprised that the National Tests were not included, and the treatment of the Stanford-Binet test is clumsy. It is unfortunate that this chapter is the least satisfactory in the book."
