Description:Five years ago mental testing was almost unknown in public schools except in a few cities in which tests were made to discover those who were mentally defective for placement in a special class. Now the movement has grown to immense proportions. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of school children are being tested annually. Schools in almost all large cities and in many towns and country districts are making extensive use of mental test results. It is but natural that a movement that has grown so rapidly and that deals with a problem so intangible as the measurement of intelligence should be mismanaged at times. It has been misinterpreted and misunderstood. Extravagant claims have been made about what could be done by means of the tests. Mental tests and individual differences in intelligence are subjects of common discussion. Newspapers and magazines have contributed hundreds of articles, and the lay public has been aroused by lectures on "applied psychology." Teachers are using tests, and often on the basis of a single test are making decisions that may seriously affect the life on a child. What is a reasonable attitude for the teacher to take? What use can she make of the tests? What cautions should she observe? The newness of the field, the imperfections of tests, the multiplication of test methods, the credulity of some people and the suspicion of others regarding the value of tests, the role tests are capable of playing in the organization or disorganization of a school system--these facts demand that teachers be instructed in the use of tests and be cautioned concerning the dangers involved.The author has pointed out what he believes to be a safe and sensible path for the teacher to take.
