Deficiency and Delinquency: An Interpretation of Mental Testing
James Burt Miner
How much can a mental test really tell you? James Burt Miner's study of deficiency and delinquency examines the functions of a scale in diagnosis, the forms of deficiency tests miss, and what early testing could and could not prove. A period document from the first age of mental measurement, valuable to students of psychology's history. Examine the evidence.
