[Link] OF INTELLIGENCE:

DEFINITION OF INTELLIGENCE:

It is a capacity of excellence individual in the various areas. according to terman,intelligence is

the ability to think.

According to Thorndike ; intelligence is the ability to give responses that are true.

HISTORY OF INTELLIGENCE TEST:

The abbreviation „,IQ‟, comes from the term intelligence quotient, first coined by the GERMEN

PSYCHOLOGIST WILLIAM STERN in the early 1900s [from the German intelligence –

quotient] this term was later used in 1905 by ALFRED BINET& THEODORESIMON, who

published the first modern intelligence . because it was easy to administer ,the BINET SIMON

scale was adopted for use in many other countries.

LEWIS TERMAN created and published the first IQ test in the united states ,the binet IQ test.

He proposed that an individuals intelligence level measured as a quotient of their estimated

mental age divided by their chronological age. The original formula for quotient is

Page 4
MENTAL AGE x 100

CHRONOLOGICAL AGE

In 1939 ,David WECHSLER published the first intelligence test for explicitly for an adult

population known as the Wechsler adult intelligence test. Or WAIS .

After the WAIS was published ,Wechsler extended his scale for younger people ,creating the

Wechsler scale FOR children OR WISC .this Wechsler contained separate sub scores for verbal

IQ & performance IQ.

ORIGIN OF INTELLIGENCE:

Intelligence testing ,according to originated around 1904 in France when the French government

wanted to know if there was a way to test for the difference between normal children & inferior

children.

This idea was to place inferior children in special schools where they could receive special

attention .

Enter psychologist Alfred Binet who developed the Binet scale, also known as the Simon –Binet

Scale that offered a radical new approach to assessing mental ability.

It was specifically designed to weed out those needing special attention & was ‟not designed to

rank children in any ways .

Binet also noted that the scale did not permit the measurement of intelligence. He feared that iq

measurement would forever condemn a child to a permanent condition of stupidity thereby

negatively affecting his or her future. Binet‟s scale also had a profound effect on the education

Page 5
and intelligence testing of children in the us. Those who gave intelligence tests based on this

scale, however, didn‟t yield to Binet‟s caveats and often misused the test, using it to rank

children‟s intelligence. H. G. Goddard, director of research at Vineland training school in new

jersey, advocated a more general use for the intelligence scale and believed that intelligence was

a solid, fixed entity that could easily be measured. In 1916, Lewis m. Terman, who also believed

that intelligence was fixed and of hereditary origin, published the revised Stanford-binet

intelligence test we‟ve come to know today as the most popular intelligence test used in the us.

Through Goddard‟s and Terman‟s work, the idea that intelligence tests are accurate, scientific,

and valuable tools for bringing efficiency to the schools and has resulted in assigning the IQ

score an almost exalted position as a definitive quality of an individual.

TYPES OF INTELLIGENCE :

 Mechanical intelligence.

 Social intelligence.

 Abstract [or general]intelligence.

Mechanical intelligence:

It is the skill to‟‟ manipulate tools &gadgets‟ & in managing the working of machines.

Social intelligence:

It means the understanding of people & the ability to act wisely in human relationship.

Abstract intelligence:

Page 6
It is ability to handle words, numbers formulae& scientific principles. a person with abstract

intelligence is able to discover relations among symbols to solve problems.

TEST OF INTELLIGENCE:

FRENCH PSYCOLOGIST,ALFRED BINET‟,the father of intelligence test construction

movement.

 Based on number of individuals to be tested;

1 .individuals test-one individuals are tested at a time.

2 .Group Tests-Group Of Individuals Are Tested At A Time.

 Based on the form of test;

[Link] tests-uses languages, or paper &pencil.

[Link]- verbal tests-for examples performance test.

TYPES OF INTELLIGENCE:

 INDIVIDUAL INTELLIGENCE TEST.

 GROUP INTELLIGENCE TEST.

Individual intelligence test - this test can be administrated to only one individual at a time .it can

be verbal method ,non verbal method & performance.

TYPES OFINDIVIDUAL INTELLIGENCE TEST:

 VERBAL METHOD.

 NON –VERBAL METHOD.

Page 7
 PERFORMANCE TEST.

[Link] METHOD: in this method language ability is essential. The individual can answer

through to verbal way such as reasoning memory & numerical abilities .verbal test cannot be

administrated to dump ,young condition ,or those who doesn‟t understand your

language[foreigners].

[Link] –VERBAL METHOD: non verbal method are deals with diagram& picture. This test

free from language barriers & do not require reading skill .non verbal test can administrate

illiterate ,literate foreign & natives.

[Link] TEST: It is one of the non verbal test but is asses the subject[person] has

to do something to rather than to some .e.g solve your problems ,assemble e.g a pattern of block

,assemble animal picture.

GROUP INTELLIGENCE TEST: In this method test can be administrate to a group of

individual at a time. Individual intelligence test was born in france but group intelligence in

America. Group intelligence test started during first war for selecting shoulder in large number.

GROUP INTELLIGENCE TYPES:

 Verbal .

 Non- verbal.

It type of test is not applicable in group [performance test is no applicable in group ].for

literate –group intelligence test is called alpha army test. for illiterate –group intelligence

test is called beta army test.

Page 8
INTELLIGENCE TEST BASED ON SCIENTIST:

 Wechsler test

-Wechsler adult intelligence test scale [wise]

-Wechsler intelligence test scale for children [wisc]

 The Stanford binet intelligence test scale

 Ravens progressive matrix

 Vineland social maturity scale

[Link] test: this test described by American psychologist Wechsler .from this we can assist

the individuals intelligence scale for all age group .WAIS-used for people between ages of 16-

75,WLSC-used for children at age group between 5-16 years.

Test details: each test consist of verbal scale & performance scale ,verbal scale.

Individual verbal tests: usage of language &administered to an individual at a time 30 items

were prepared graded for different age levels on a scale the tasks to be performed by the test

varies from simple manipulation. The different types of scales used for adult & children

differently .it is an individual test used as verbal scale [6 sets]& performance scale[5 sub set]

simultaneously .

Wechsler assist the intelligence through the verbal scale ,involving used of word ,concept &

numbers. It consists of six subsets.

 Tests of general information.

 Test of general comprehension.

 Test of arithmetic reasoning.

Page 9
 Test of digit span.

 Test of distinction between similarity.

 Test of vocabulary.

Information: in this test ask general knowledge & asses the individual Information status

particular objects.

Comprehension: are deals with more abstract questions e.g. nature of necessity of laws.

Arithmetic: it is deals with the problem solving method &measure by scoring e.g.986-8.

Digit stand : the subject is required to repeat for backward series of numbers e.g.6,4,3,9

increasing member by backward to forward.

Similarities: the subject is asked to identify paris similar.

vocabulary : the meaning of the words has to be given.

PERFORMANCE INTELLIGENCE TEST: performance [scale] test have 5 sub tests i.e,

 Picture arrangement tests.

 Picture completion tests.

 Object assembly test .

 Block design test.

 Digit symbol test.

IQ= MA [MENTAL AGE ] X 100

CA [CHRONOLOGICAL AGE]

Picture arrangement : the subject is given mixed up sets of picture to that tell sensible strong.

Page
10
Picture completion: the subject should find out the missing picture.

Objective assembly: in that are subject assemble the objects to the complete one. generally many small

ports or block given to the individual they will arrange complete object.

Block design: block is a colored blocks to produced picture according to given pattern.

Digit symbol: it is arithmetic procedure to find out the answer of digit valve here provide correction in

right side box.

ADVANTAGES:

 This test available in any language.

 It is an easy method of applying for all the age group.

 It can administer in shorter form.

 It is easy to identify prognosis of disease condition.

 It is detect diagnosis or assist in finding out diagnosis.

 It is useful special abilities & disabilities.

[Link] BINET TEST:

History:

Stanford binet:

[1965] intelligent this is a new version of binet simen test .in 1905 two French psychologist binet &

simen discover this intelligence test. after that it was modified American psychologist termon with binet

at stanford university for current use of intelligence assessment .in 1986 it is known as Stanford binet

intelligence test form .

Page
11
Stanford binet test: this test can useful for measurement of general intelligence test. it can useful for 2

year to superior adults up to 45 years .it is very effective only to 16 years. For adult this test result is not

accurate or satisfactory.

1. Verbal test- reporting digit, defining the word ,answering question ,sating similarity &

differences & naming object.

2. Performance test- drawing circle or spiral ,building wooden box ,folding paper in certain way

&pictures .this test is known as intelligence test IQ.

[Link] TEST

The term personality is derived from the word persona or the mask which the roman and greek actors

used to wear in ancient time to indicate to the audience.

Personality is the total quality of an individual‟s behaviour as it is shown in his habits of thinking, in

his attitude, interest, and his manner of acting and his personal philosophies of life.

BASIC FACTORS FOR ANALYSING THE PERSONALITY:

 The internal aspects of the individuals: the basic drives, the physiological

systems, glands and inherently physical features.

Page
25
 The social and material stimuli to the individual: these modifies and direct

individual impulses & needs .it includes the influence of the family and other

groups.

 The reaction or behaviour or conduct which result from the interaction of the

individual and the stimuli.

DEFINITION:

and function in characteristic fashion with the environment.

- TAYLOR 1982.

Personality means once inner or outer circumstance suitable with his environment.

Personality=Inner + outer circumstance

Environment

Personality is the “MASK” i.e. provides external circumstance for the individuals

character. “Persona”-mask but personality is known as individual behaviour pattern with his /her

environment.

QUESTIONNAIRE:

 Written method of merge personality.

 Very easily checked & scored.

Goode & hatt developed questionnaire ,related to personality which consists of series of items by using

A form which the respondent responses by himself .

These responses will be taken into consideration for personality assessment .

It is useful for assessing both qualitative & quantitative information.
