Abstract

Thirteen approaches to the measurement of intelligence are briefly described and discussed. On the one hand, bad intelligence tests seem as inevitable as death and taxes. On the other hand, there are promising developments in measurement. The most promising developments are not cosmetic changes in conventional tests (such as comouter-adaptive tests), but rather tests based on new, broader theories of intelligence. These latter tests have been slow in development, partly because of difficulties in operationalization, and partly because of the uneasy alliance between the worlds of academia and publishing companies.
