Excerpt from Otis Group Intelligence Scale: A Manual of Directions for Primary and Advanced Examinations

The Otis Group Intelligence Scale is an instrument for the measurement of native mental ability. It is applicable to any individual, whether child or adult, who has had the equivalent of three or, four years of schooling.l With subjects of this much schooling the Otis Scale probably comes as near testing raw brain power as any system of tests yet devised. Indeed, it was the first scientifically grounded and satisfactory scale for testing subjects in groups.

It is unnecessary to dwell on the practical importance of the group method of intelligence testing. It has once for all taken such tests out of the class of luxuries and made them a commonplace necessity in schools, industries, armies, or any other institution or situation in which the mental ability of human beings is a factor for consideration. The Otis Scale can be applied by one examiner to hundreds of individuals in a single day.
