Abstract
Ammons and Ammons Quick Test (QT) was found to be applicable for intelligence testing with the aged. Normative data were presented for a sample who averaged 80.7 yr. Correlations among the three single forms and between the forms and the complete test were high (.80 to .93 for corrected IQs, .82 to .96 for uncorrected IQs). Performance on the test was not affected by socioeconomic status, institutionalization factors or anxiety level. The test's usefulness for assessing IQ for a senile sample was noted. Revisions in the test's age correction factors were suggested.Keywords
