A literature review and associated recommendations for research and testing of artistic judgment (AJ) are presented. Studies of AJ aptitude testing and related research are reviewed. G. T. Fechner's psychophysical, G. P. Birkhoff's mathematical, H. J. Eysenck's factor analytic, and D. E. Berlyne's psychobiological approaches to AJ are discussed. Results concerning an association between individuals' preference judgments and their quality of AJ, and the neurological development of AJ are considered. Basic issues in the philosophy of structuralism are related to the development of AJ tests. An AJ instrument, developed by the Johnson O'Connor Research Foundation (JOCRF) and known as Proportion Appraisal, is also reviewed. Current tests of AJ are inadequate; a test constructed on the basis of information theory may be more successful. It is concluded that the JOCRF should develop and pilot test an artistic processing instrument for the foundation's battery. A seven-page list of references and a three-page bibliography are provided. (TJH)
