Journal/Book: Amer Psychol. 1997; 52: 750 First St NE, Washington, DC 20002-4242. Amer Psychological Assoc. 1038-1045.

Abstract: A large number of new or revamped individually administered intelligence tests have been published in the past 2 decades. This article begins by describing the development status of 3 categories of intelligence tests: psychometric-ability instruments, neuropsychologically based instruments, and dynamic assessments, with particular attention to issues that require additional research. It then considers how these categories of tests lend themselves to educational applications. Finally, the article describes recent basic and applied research findings that may influence how intelligence tests continue to evolve.
