Condensed guide for the Stanford revision of the Binet-Simon intelligence tests
Terman, Lewis M. (Lewis Madison)
Binet-Simon Test; Intelligence tests; Stanford-Binet Test
Credit in Year XII if score is 4 points or more; in Year XVI if score
is 8 points or more. Allow 2 points for each fable for correct, and 1
for partially correct response. (Note carefully scoring directions in
_The Measurement of Intelligence_, pp. 290-97.)
6. _Five Digits Backwards_
"Listen carefully; I am going to read some numbers, and I want you to
say them backwards. For example, if I should say 5--1--4, you would
say 4--1--5. Do you understand?" Then, "Ready now; listen carefully,
and be sure to say the numbers backwards." If S. gives digits
forwards, repeat instructions. If necessary, give (_b_) and (_c_),
repeating each time, "Ready now; listen carefully, and be sure to say
the numbers backwards." 3, 1, 8, 7, 9; 6, 9, 4, 8, 2; 5, 2, 9, 6,
1.
Credit if one set is repeated backwards without error.
7. _Pictures; Interpretation_
Show in succession Dutch Home, River Scene, Post Office, and Colonial
House, saying each time, "Tell me what this picture is about. Explain
this picture." May prompt with, "Go ahead," or "Explain what you
mean."
Credit if three of the four pictures are satisfactorily interpreted.
(See _The Measurement of Intelligence_, pp. 303-04.)
8. _Finding Likenesses; Three Things_
Say, "I am going to name three things which are alike in some way,
and I want you to tell me _how_ they are alike. Snake, cow, and
sparrow; in what way are they alike?" May repeat or urge with, "I'm
sure you can tell me how a snake, a cow, and a sparrow are alike,"
but do not change form of question. If difference is given, say, "No,
I want you to tell me how they are _alike_. In what way are a snake,
a cow, and a sparrow alike?" Same for (_b_) book, teacher, newspaper;
(_c_) wool, cotton, leather; (_d_) knife-blade, penny, piece of wire;
(_e_) rose, potato, tree.
Credit if any real similarity is given in three out of five trials.
(See _The Measurement of Intelligence_, pp. 307-08.)
