“…Future research should now focus on elucidating the biological processes which contribute to performance on the IT task. As Chaiken & Young (1993) have recently stated, it would appear that IT may be an important and useful measure to assess cognitive performance in a variety of situations in which IQ tests may be inappropriate. Further research may wish to validate IT as a measure of intelligence, using the same procedure that has been used with IQ : correlating performance with measures thought to represent intelligence (e.g.…”

This study investigates the relationship between intelligence test performance, a test of visual inspection time (IT) and personality and temperament dimensions. Howe's (1990) hypothesis that IT and IQ are empirically related because of personality or temperament variables is evaluated and rejected. IT and performance IQ (PIQ) were significantly related independent of personality or temperament variables. IT and verbal I Q (VIQ) were unrelated. Robinson's (1989) hypothesis that ambiverts (moderate extraversion) perform significantly better on I Q tests was examined and supported. Ambiverts performed significantly better on verbal and performance measures of the Wechsler Adult Intelligence ScaleRevised (WAIS-R) and on the Raven's Advance Progressive Matrices (APM). Mobility from the Strelau Temperament Inventory (STI) was also related to performance I Q (PIQ) and Raven's test scores. These results suggest an important role for the concepts of arousal and/or arousability in a biological model of intelligence. Implications for intelligence assessment are discussed.There are two main aims of the present study: first, to examine the relationship between psychometric intelligence (IQ) and personality and to evaluate the Robinson (1 989) hypothesis linking different levels of extraversion (derived from the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ)) to IQ test performance. Second, to address the Howe (1990) hypothesis that IT and IQ are related because of personality and temperament variables. Each topic will be introduced in turn. Personality and IQAlthough several authors have discussed this relationship, there appears still to be little consensus. In one of the largest studies to date, Eysenck (1971) has reported that in 398 male nurses extraversion, neuroticism and psychoticism did not significantly * Requests for reprints.

“…Specifically, some participants have reported that they have been able to use the apparent movement of the mask (covering the shorter leg of the test stimuli) as a cue or strategy to facilitate their performance (Chaiken & Young, 1993;Egan, 1986Egan, , 1994Nettelbeck, 1982). Because the goal of IT research is to eliminate influences other then mental speed, it is critical that measures attempt to eliminate this movement effect.…”

“…Attempts to eliminate or reduce apparent movement artifacts have proven inconsistent (Chaiken & Young, 1993;Nettelbeck, 1982;Vickers, Nettelbeck, & Wilson, 1972). For example, some researchers have devised a form of mask that uses randomly selected patterns or visual noise (e.g., LED lights) to counter the use of the visual cue.…”

“…e) Há correlação significativa entre o desempenho em testes de inteligência e variáveis psicobiológicas como tempo de reação e tempo de inspeção. Alguns pesquisadores situam a relação entre -0,40 e -0,50 (Bates & Eysenck, 1993;Chaiken & Young, 1993;Kranzler & Jensen, 1986;Deary, 1994Deary, , 1996, mas outros consideram que a relação não deverá ultrapassar a barreira de -0,30 a -0,40 (Hunt, 1980). f) Há correlação significativa, porém pequena, entre QI e tamanho cerebral (medição intracraniana por neuroimagem).…”

Elizabeth do NASCIMENTO Adail Victorino CASTILHO RESUMO Prestes a comemorar um século da criação dos testes psicológicos e, com ela, a sofisticação da avaliação psicológica, o presente artigo pretende apresentar alguns dos pontos polêmicos que acompanham a produção e aplicação dos instrumentos psicológicos, principalmente aqueles relacionados à medição da capacidade intelectual. Discute-se que o desprestígio dos testes de inteligência no país deve-se, em primeiro lugar, ao desconhecimento dos princípios básicos sobre construção de testes, o que permite freqüentemente que se exija dos testes o que não pode ser esperado (ex. predição perfeita) e, em segundo lugar, a exacerbação de crenças políticas pretensamente científicas. Conclui-se que os testes que, inicialmente, indicaram a existência de grandes diferenças intelectuais entre grupos humanos conforme a etnia, faixa etária e gênero sexual são os mesmos que atualmente indicam que essas diferenças estão diminuindo. Os testes continuam sendo os mesmos, porém mudaram as condições sociais. Portanto, os testes não criam diferenças intelectuais, apenas as retratam. Palavras-chave: Testes psicológicos, medição do comportamento, crítica da medição. ABSTRACT Now, when psychologists can celebrate a century since the creation of psychological tests and the sophistication of psychological measurements,(1) Dra. da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais. Endereço para correspondência: Av. Antônio Carlos, 6627. this paper presents some polemical viewpoints that comes along with the uses and applications of psychological tests, mainly those concerned with assessment intellectual ability. It says the discre about tests, in our country, at first because of lack of acquaintance with its basic construction principles that often allows unreal expectations as for example perfect predictions and, at second, because political and ideological beliefs intended as scientific itselves. The psychological tests that years ago pointed to the existence of large intellectual differences among human groups concerning ethnical, age and gender variables are the same that, currently tell us these differences are showing diminution. Psychological tests continue to be the same, notwithstanding social conditions changed. So, psychological tests do not create intellectual differences, they just show it.
