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
If answer is ambiguous, get S. to explain. If he merely defines the
words, say, "Yes, but I want you to tell me the difference between
---- and ----."
Credit if three of the four answers are given correctly. (See _The
Measurement of Intelligence_, pp. 325-26.)
4. _Enclosed Boxes_
Show S. a small cardboard box, and say, "Listen carefully. You see
this box; it has two smaller boxes inside of it, and each one of the
smaller boxes contains a little tiny box. How many boxes are there
altogether, counting the big one?" Allow one-half minute, record
answer, then show second box, saying, "This box has two smaller boxes
inside, and each of the smaller boxes contains _two_ tiny boxes. How
many altogether?" Similarly for (_c_) and (_d_), using three and
three, and four and four. Emphasize slightly the words "three" and
"four."
Credit if three of the four problems are solved correctly within
one-half minute each. Spontaneous corrections are counted as correct.
5. _Six Digits Backwards_
Say "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." 4, 7, 1, 9, 5, 2; 5, 8, 3, 2, 9, 4;
7, 5, 2, 6, 3, 8.
Credit if one set is repeated backwards without error.
