Abstract
The first type of scale that we have tentatively constructed on the basis of the results collected has been of the type made familiar by the Binet Scale. A year scale is a scale in which the tests are grouped according to years, with the presupposition that the average child of a particular age will pass all the tests of the year scale at the age in question and all below that year and none above that year. This is, of course, the ideal; and what we actually find is that a particular child passes tests scattered over several years. An addition of these tests leads to the computation of a mental age.
