Studies in individual differences : the search for intelligence / James J Jenkins and Donald Gildersleeve Paterson - New York : Appleton-Century-Crofts, 1961 - 774 p. : ill, 25 cm.
Include Index. "This book of readings is designed to meet what we feel is a critical need in contemporary courses in tests and measurements and differential psychology. The two editors have taught one or another of these courses more than one hundred times. We hold that at least three requisite things--good psychological judgment, an elusive quality called perspective, and a grasp of the strategies of psychological measurement--are fostered most rapidly when students encounter original research papers in their historical sequence. In searching for a topic to serve as a model problem in measurement we quickly settled on intelligence. In selecting this one topic it is obvious that we have no intention of supplanting current textbooks, which, in fact, we believe are of very high quality. However, these textbooks by their very nature cannot give the student the kind of understanding of the work and the workers that we are striving for here. .
