Abstract
A general overview of trends in testing for the age group considered was obtained by a perusal of The Sixth Mental Measurements Yearbook (Buros, 1965). This overview indicated that general ability tests rather than specific ability tests were given primary consideration. Individual testing continued to be the most frequently used procedure; among the tests reviewed for children under five years of age, only two general ability tests were suggested for use in group testing situations. Since the publication of Buros, the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence has appeared (Wechsler, 1967). Eight of the subtests parallel the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC). The standardization sample of 1,200 children was stratified on five variables in accordance with latest population statistics.
