Abstract
The measurement of intelligence at the present time is a well recognized part of psychology. The growth of this work and the interest shown in it during the last three decades have been truly remarkable. We have witnessed the establishment of innumerable clinics and the appearance of the "mental tester." This growth has been characterized by the practical considerations of clinical examinations. The need for a psychological examination has been recognized and answers to practical situations have been demanded before the psychologist has really had time to formulate his own conceptions of the whole problem. This chapter discusses the available performance tests, the criterion used to select the tests, and a list of tests that are used in this book.
