"The writer has heard a great deal concerning intelligence and the use of intelligence tests. However, not all of the opinions expressed have been in agreement, and there seems to be a large area of uncertainty for the classroom teacher concerning this important part of pupil evaluation. Confusion seems to center around certain focal points which are of particular importance to the teacher. What is intelligence? Can it be measured? Do the intelligence tests administered to school children give an adequate account of their abilities? Can children be safely compared to one another in terms of their scores on intelligence tests? Are intelligence test scores of any use as indicators of children's achievement? These are the aspects of intelligence and the testing of intelligence which are of primary concern to the classroom teacher and about which adequate knowledge is imperative if the teacher is to do the most effective job. It is the purpose of this study, then, to try and answer some of these questions"--Introduction. / "August, 1958." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Mildred E.
