Measuring Abnormal Pattern on the Revised Stanford-Binet Scale (Form L)

Abstract

It has long been recognized that standardized tests of intelligence, when used with psychotic subjects, cease to be valid measures ofnativeintellectual endowment. This does not mean, however, that it is useless to employ such tests in the study of the mentally ill. On the contrary, the intelligence test still provides us with the best objective measure of thepresentintellectual efficiency of the patient.
