Excerpt from Condensed Guide for the Stanford Revision of the Binet-Simon Intelligence TestsIn 1915, Irwin arranged to have Dr. T. H. Haines test the pupils of the Ohio State School for the Blind, and in 1916, Haines published a report upon his use of the year scale and presented a revision of the Yerkes Point Scale adapted to the blind. During the same period, Dr. W. B. Drum'mond was testing pupils in various schools for the blind in England and Scotland, and in 1920 he published a Binet Scale for the Blind and a Provisional Point Scale for the Blind, building upon the work of Irwin and Haines.Systematic routine testing with Irwin's adaptation had also been started in 1916 by Miss Edith M. Taylor at Perkins Institution for the Blind in Watertown, Massachusetts, and by Miss Katherine Roese at the Pennsylvania Institution for the Instruction of the Blind in Overbrook, Philadelphia. During the next few years all the pupils in eight other residential schools were tested, so that by the end of 1922 the Irwin adaptation had been given to more than subjects with defective vision. The data thus accumulated seemed to justify an attempt to standardize, the tests and to distribute a Guide for the use of competent persons in schools and clinics, where it might be necessary to examine children who had not vision enough to take the Binet tests in their ordinary form.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
