Abstract
The method used in the Binet Scale for the determination of mental age has been so widely used and has become so much a matter of habit in clinical psychology that very little has been done, with the exception of the Point Scale Method, in the way of discussion as to other possible methods of arriving at a mental diagnosis. It has occurred to us that the median mental age of a group of tests might very well serve as a reliable value for the estimation of an individual's mentality. We offer this suggestion as a method that must be worked out and tested. We are, unfortunately, unable to use our data to test adequately the reliability of this method, but we hope to do so in the future. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
