This major new reference for study and research in human abilities
takes an innovative approach not found in any other book in the
field. Part One offers a revaluation of ability theory by the
editors, and strong individual contributions by those representing
markedly different approaches to the measurement of intelligence.
Part Two contains reviews of various regional and national
empirical studies in Britain, Norway, Turkey, Australia, China,
Japan, Southern Africa, and the United States. Part Three
concentrates on contexts where the limits of human assessment by
psychological tests are defined: in minority native groups in North
America, in migrants in Britain, in lower caste enclaves in India,
and among Australian Aborigines. Written by long-term residents of
the regions represented, the chapters bring with them a wealth of
new material that has been ignored in western formulation of theory
and practice. The editors have issued one of the best-formed, most
sustained scientific challenges to the conventional wisdom of human
assessment to appear for decades.
