Intelligence Testing: The Mystique, the Myth, the Maelstrom, and the Mandate

University of Georgia

As a result of early events in the testing movement, the value of intelligence testing was extended beyond its intent and the psychologist was not answerable to any measure of accountability. More recently, the value of testing in the decision-making process has been challenged in the courts and is now restricted by legislative mandate. A resistance to the issue of accountability has grown among psychologists and others who assess intelligence. Continued resistance to the extant mandate may lead to an even more undesirable alternative to accountability—the demise of the standardized test.
