What is meant by the term "intelligence" and, once de- fined,
how do we go about achieving a valid measurement of this faculty?
This classic textbook, originally published in 1979, and now
reissued with a new preface by Sybil Eysenck, incorporates a broad
range of findings and reanalyzes much of the existing literature in
this area.
In The Structure and Measurement of Intelligence, Hans Eysenck
draws on methods for determining the effect of genetics and
environment on the development of intelligence and examines the
validity of the term as defined in relation to internal as well as
external criteria. He tests a number of hypotheses on intelligence
against empirical research findings and considers various
criticisms in detail. The significance of intelligence and its
measurement in society are explored in depth. Eysenck greatly
expands upon such questions as: Does IQ measure intelligence? How
valid is the nature versus nurture argument? and, How might
socioeconomic status influence one's intelligence?
Designed primarily for students and scholars in psychology and
education, this text will make thought-provoking reading for all
concerned with the development and measurement of intelligence in
the individual.
