Excerpt from A Manual of Individual Mental Tests and Testing

Mental testing requires no justification; the rapid growth of belief in its value has in many ways proved to be well warranted. However, at the present time, two great needs appear: First, to combat the uncritical acceptance of very narrow and simple measurements as offering adequate criteria for judgment of mental capacities. Extraordinary assumptions are constantly made on the slender basis of some numerical statement, sup posed to symbolize an individual's mental ability in toto. And, second, as a correlate to this, there is great urgency for utiliza tion of a much wider range of tests that the human individual may be better known in regard to his various mental capacities, in order to relate his abilities to his possible social, educational, vocational adjustments and achievements.
