Abstract

The initial purpose of this study was to determine how counselors used information yielded by multifactor intelligence tests. Data from questionnaires sent to secondary school counselors in two states, however, revealed enormous percentages of nonclassifiable responses regarding these tests. The proportion of nonclassifiable responses varied from 38 percent on questions concerning where different scores were recorded to 70 percent on questions concerning which IQ scores were most and least predictive of scholastic achievement. Consequently, the study concentrated on the reasons for the large number of unusable responses. The findings seemed to indicate a tendency on the part of counselor educators to downgrade the importance of accurate test interpretation.
