A Culture-Fair Information Test of Intelligence

Abstract

An intelligence test for use with rural Filipinos was developed using 25 general information questions. The questions bear on experiences common to most rural Filipinos. The methods of development and analyses are described. It is suggested that this strategy could be used with other peasant groups where an assessment of intelligence is needed in order to rank members of one or adjacent communities. This technique does not enable one to compare groups from markedly different cultural backgrounds.
