"This Manual attempts to give the aims, purposes, and application of intelligence tests in general and of The Myers Mental Measure in particular. It is written with the hope that it will be of aid to all who use intelligence ratings regardless of what test is used. The authors take a conservative attitude toward the functions of intelligence tests, pointing out some of their shortcomings but at the same time attempting to show how the ratings of intelligence tests can be used to bring the best results. The Myers Mental Measure is offered to supply a very practical need of a group intelligence test: 1. That is a single continuous scale of a few pages applicable to all ages. 2. That correlates pretty highly with Stanford-Binet. 3. That is independent of school experience; that finds the bright child who would not ordinarily be found in terms of his school performance. 4. That any teacher can learn to give accurately and that any clerk can learn to score with precision. 5. That is brief and simple, yet scientific. In this Manual are presented graphs and tables which the authors offer in evidence of their belief that The Myers Mental Measure meets with the above-named criteria. General and specific directions for giving and scoring the tests are presented together with norms based on over 15,000 cases"--
