The terms interactive and dynamic would never have been associated
with psychological and psychoeducational assessment a generation
ago. They have currency now because of widespread dissatisfaction
with the normative, standardized testing model, criticism of
theoretical concepts of intelligence, recognition of abuses of
standardized intelligence testing, and frustration with prediction
and classification as primary goals of assessment. It is almost
certainly true that public policy concerns propel scientific
activity far more often than science propels public policy In the
case of psychological assessment, public policy concerns have
arisen in the last 20 years primarily around issues of possible
"discrimination" against members of ethnic minorities. At the same
time, there has been a re surgence of dedication to "excellence in
education" goals. These concerns have led to such extreme measures
as prohibition of the use of standard ized intelligence tests to
determine school placement decisions, especially for minority
children. They have led also to a search for alternatives to
standardized, normative testing. The chapters in this volume
represent a variety of answers to this need."
