Lesson 17 Learning to Live 学会生活

The fact that we are not sure what 'intelligence' is, nor what

is passed on, does not prevent us from finding it a very useful

working concept, and placing a certain amount of reliance on

tests which 'measure' it.

In an intelligence test we take a sample of an individual's

ability to solve puzzles and problems of various kinds, and if we

have taken a representative sample it will allow us to predict

successfully the level of performance he will reach in a wide

variety of occupations.

This became of particular importance when, as a result of the

1944 Education Act, secondary schooling for all became law, and

grammar schools, with the exception of a small number of

independent foundation schools, became available to the whole

population. Since the number of grammar schools in the

countrycould accommodate at most approximately 25 per cent

of the total child population of eleven-plus, some kind of

selection had to be made. Narrowly academic

examinations and tests were felt, quite rightly, to be heavily

weighted in favour of children who had had the advantage of

highly-academic primary schools and academically biased

Homes. Intelligence tests were devised to counteract this narrow

specialization, by introducing problems which were not based on

specifically scholastically-acquired knowledge. The intelligence

test is an attempt to assess the general ability of any child to

think, reason, judge, analyse and syntiesize by presenting him

with situations, both verbal and practical, which arewithin his

range of competence and understanding.
