"Give administration a chance to catch up with legislation" was an early counsel from an American legislator destined to become historically famous. In the smaller world of mental tests there is proportionate need to give administration a chance to catch up with invention. Of the making of many tests there is no end. Careful work of this kind serves an essential purpose, but manuals of directions and norms seldom suffice for the intelligent use of tests. Questions continually come up in laboratory practice with which manuals of directions cannot deal. The applications of a technique to the study of individual cases, and its place in the system of available psychometric method, are with difficulty learned from those manuals of procedure, each of which is naturally and properly concerned with setting forth its particular technique as such. To these basic sources, such as Terman's The Measurement of Intelligence or Pintner and Paterson's A Scale of Performance Tests, this volume offers a supplement of experience gained by their means. In no sense can it replace them; on the contrary, it assumes them. It does aim to enhance the usefulness of these contributions, by going into details of practice whose significance has since developed and by case illustrations of their application to the study of conduct problems. The volume is not intended as material for learning, but as a guide to practice. The exercises are thus as integral a part of the presentation as any portion of the text. The case material is selected from the point of view of showing how the methods discussed bear on the management of the case"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).

"In the history of tests and measurements nothing stands out as more striking or significant than the recent increase of interest in this movement among teachers in secondary schools. The treatment of the subject throughout this book is direct, intelligible, and helpful. On the one hand it avoids over-emphasis of the theoretical problems of measurement, and on the other hand it avoids too great preoccupation with the minutiae of procedure, scoring, and computations. The extensive experience of the authors (the senior author was formerly principal of the University High School at Eugene, Oregon) has enabled them to write a book ideally adapted to its purpose--one that is informative, balanced, and helpful. Both the uses and the limitations of tests are clearly and convincingly set forth. Criteria are given for the selection of tests suitable for a particular purpose. All the important intelligence and achievement tests intended for use in the high school are described and evaluated. Finally, in order that those who make use of testing methods may have more than a superficial knowledge of the instruments they employ, four chapters are added on the principles of test construction. In the opinion of the editor, no other chapters in the book are more worthy of careful study than these last four. It is safe to predict that this book will find a wide field of usefulness both as a classroom text and for reading-circle purposes. It is a book which the progressive high school teacher cannot afford to ignore"--Introduction. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved).
