Intelligence Tests in the Year 2000: What Forms Will They Take and What Purposes Will They Serve.
Abstract
Six points of view regarding the future of intelligence testing are considered, and a combined, 'prototypical' point of view is synthesized that seems to represent a consensus of authors regarding the directions in which intelligence testing and research on intelligence are going. The past history and present status of intelligence testing and research are briefly considered, and then their future is discussed. The future seems to include assessment of various kinds of components of intelligence--performance components, acquisition components, transfer components, and metacomponents. The distinction between academic and everyday intelligence is discussed, as are the cultural and temporal limits of any one notion of intelligence. Finally, the usefulness of the notion of intelligence as a prototype of people's beliefs is considered. (Author)
