a brief history of intelligence testing
First individual intelligence test was pioneered in France by Alfred Binet (1857-1911) and his colleague, Theophile Simon. Luwis Terman gathered and analyzed normative data and made revisions to Binet's measure at Stanford University. Then, test was later renamed the Stanford-Binet.
defining intelligence testing
Intelligence testing is a subset of intellectual and cognitive functioning and assesses a broad range of cognitive capabilities that generally results in "IQ" score. Intelligence testing measures aptitude, or what one is capable of doing.
individuals with disabilities education improvement act

Achievement Testing
(what one has learned): Survey Battery Diagnostic Readiness
aptitude testing

piaget's cognitive developmental theory
- Cognitive developmental model highlights assimilation and accommodation in learning/ process model, not a cognitive gain model - four stages Sensorimotor Preoperational Concrete operational Formal operational - Believed that cognitive development is adaptive - As new information is presented, we're innately programmed to take it and make sense of it in order to maintain a sense of order and equilibrium in our lives. - We adapt our mental structures to maintain equilibrium through two methods: - Assimilation is incorporating new stimuli or information into existing cognitive structures - Accommodation is creating new cognitive structures and/or behaviors from new stimuli

purpose of intelligence testing
1. To assist in determining giftedness. 2. To assess for mental retardation. 3. To identify certain types of learning disabilities. 4. To assess intellectual ability following an accident, the onset of dementia, substance abuse, disease processes, and trauma to the brain. 5. As part of the admissions process to certain private schools. 6. As part of a personality assessment battery to aid in understanding the whole person.
Purpose of using tests
1. To determine how well a student is learning. 2. To assess how well a class, grade, school, school system, or state is learning content knowledge. 3. As a method of detecting learning problems. 4. As a method of identifying giftedness. 5. To help determine if a child is ready to move to the next grade level. 6. To assess teacher effectiveness. 7. To help determine readiness or placement in college graduate school, or professional schools. 8. To determine if an individual has mastered content knowledge for professional advancement (e.g., credentialing exams).

gardner's theory of multiple intelligence
o Theory of multiple intelligence is novel but difficult to apply o Refers to predominant notion of intelligence as the "dipstick theory" of the mind o It holds that there is a specific amount or level of intelligence in the brain and if you could place a dipstick in the brain and pull it out you should be able to accurately read how smart a person is o In contrast to his approach, he believes that intelligence is too vast and complex to be measured accurately by our current methods o Developed Theory of Multiple Intelligence which asserts there are eight or nine intelligences that all people have at different levels: 1) Verbal-linguistic Intelligence: o Well-developed verbal skills o Sensitivity to the sounds, meanings, and rhythms of words 2) Mathematical-logical Intelligence: o Ability to think conceptually & abstractly o Capacity to discern logical or numerical patterns 3) Musical Intelligence: o Ability to produce & appreciate rhythm, pitch & timbre 4) Visual-Spatial Intelligence o Capacity to think in images and pictures o To visualize accurately and abstractly 5) Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence o Ability to control one's body movements o To handle objects skillfully 6) Interpersonal Intelligence: o Capacity to detect and respond appropriately to the moods, motivations, and desires of others 7) Intrapersonal Intelligence: o Capacity to be self-aware and in tune with inner feelings, values, beliefs, and thinking processes 8) Naturalist Intelligence: o Ability to recognize and categorize plants, animals, and other objects in nature 9) Existential Intelligence o Sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep questions about human existence o Such as the meaning of life, why do we die, and how did we get here o Has not clearly established its validity at this point
