This article outlines shortcomings of currently used university admissions tests and discusses ways in which they could potentially be improved, summarizing two projects designed to enhance college and university admissions. The projects were inspired by the augmented theory of successful intelligence, according to which successful intelligence…

Discusses new ideas on the definition of intellectual abilities and how they can be measured. Examines issues of generality of both conventional tests and new tests in the measurement of intelligence. Also addresses the teaching of intelligence and the future prospective of research and development of the technology of testing. (MMU)

Though the most widely used "Intelligence" tests have changed little in the last half century, the author predicts a variety of new influences of future intelligence testing, ranging from the ways we conceptualize intelligence, to the manner in which we pose problems to assess it. (Author/JAZ)

The Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) attempts to improve on the theory and technology of intelligence testing. The criteria used for this evaluation of the K-ABC are adequate theoretical basis; expanded range of abilities measured; incremental as well as convergent and discriminant validity; multiple meaningful scores; and training…

Bad intelligence tests seem as inevitable as death and taxes. However, new theories of intelligence are resulting in some promising developments. Thirteen approaches to the measurement of intelligence are described, divided into the following categories: classical psychometric; developmental; culture-sensitive; cognitive; biological; and systems.…
