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

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  08 February 2018

Extract

It has long been recognized that standardized tests of intelligence, when used with psychotic subjects, cease to be valid measures of native intellectual 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 the present intellectual efficiency of the patient.
