Hi all,
Wasn't it Binet, the designer of the first IQ test, that ironically said:
"Intelligence is what my test measures?
Actually, no. It was Edwin G. Boring who wrote the statement in an
article in the magazine "The New Republic". See:
Boring, E. G. (1923). Intelligence as the tests test it. New Republic,
35-37.
In the second paragraph, Boring says:
|Intelligence is what the tests test.
NOTE: EBSCOhost has a specialized database for "The New Republic"
and articles therein.
NOTE #2: Walter Lippmann had written several articles in the
New Republic critical of the Army testing program but Boring was
not responding to him; nonetheless, they may be of interest to
Tipsters.
May this Christmas time measure up to your heart's desires!
Well, Santa didn't bring the stripers and cocaine last year and it
appears bleak for this year as well but I appreciate the sentiment. ;-)
I hope you make out better!

My general conclusion is that the IQ tests should be considered for the
validity of the individual tests included in the IQ battery. Some of
these
tests are useful in measuring cognition, some are not, and many are
redundant. Averaging them all together in a summary score only makes
their
interpretation confusing.
