Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study of the Prognostic Value of a Group Intelligence Test: A Dissertation
A leading book on measurement says: Science holds prediction as its most important aim and prognosis is the ultimate aim of endeavor in the scientific study of education.?1 Any prognosis, that is worthy of the name, must be built upon measures of individual ability and achievement, not upon personal opinion. How then shall we predict high school achievement? For the practical school man the choice of the best basis of prediction narrows down to two possibilities, 'general' intelligence tests and previous academic record. Which basis is better? Unfortunately there is no general agreement as to the answer.
