An examination of the aforementioned review articles indicated that only four studies were published between 1939 and 1955 that compared WBI with WBII (two of these were published between 1945 and 1950, and two, between 1950 and 1955).…”

The issue of the absence of parallel forms for the traditional individual intelligence tests has received little attention in the area of psychological testing ever since the early demise of the Wechsler Bellevue Form II and the delayed discontinuance of Form M of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale. Five reasons have been presented here to argue that the availability of parallel forms could have both theoretical and practical benefits, especially if the constructors of individual ability and/or achievement tests employ the recent advances in item response theory and computer technology.

Following primary and secondary education in Europe, I came to the United States for further education. After majoring in engineering, I shifted to liberal arts and social sciences. I minored in mathematics, philosophy, and education at the undergraduate level and physiology at the graduate level, ultimately obtaining a PhD in personality psychology. My interests were primarily academic, but I did not neglect the emerging field of clinical psychology. After working in hospitals for 9 years, I joined the faculty of Michigan State University where I established the psychological clinic and served as its director for 13 years. Subsequently, during 2 sabbaticals in Israel, I researched personality development in unconventional family settings (the kibbutz). I also studied such diverse issues as motivation for parenthood, time perception and time perspective, and cognition in psychopathology. After editing several textbooks on assessment techniques, I initiated the series of triennial Murray lectures that highlighted the dynamic approach to the study of personality.

“…Only the normal adults were able to function at an abstract verbal level, and this ability differentiated them from children and from paretic and schizophrenic patients. Rabin (69) summarized research on the use of the Wechsler-Bellevue Scale for this purpose. Psychometric tests are being increasingly employed to differentiate between normal and abnormal persons.…”

IF IT is true that "wars begin in the minds of men," it is extremely important that we understand the dynamics of personality-why people behave as they do. Personality is still a vast domain in which much research is needed. During the three-year period covered by this issue, however, a number of significant books on personality have been written. Murphy's Personality, a Biosocial Approach to Origins and Structure (61) explores personality thru present research, not only in psychology but also in sociology, anthropology, and biology, and points the way to more significant research. Young likewise has a broad base for his study of Personality and Problems of Adjustment (98). Stagner has completely rewritten his Psychology of Personality (84), covering recent work in projective testing and supporting a point of view that emphasizes perception and the interior organization of experience. An important new anthology, Personality in Nature, Society and Culture (53), consisting of papers by thirty-seven authorities in the field, presents an orderly statement of our present knowledge of personality formation. The strictly experimental quantitative approach was taken by Eysenck in his Dimensions of Personality (32). Largely from researches carried on with 10,000 normal and neurotic subjects at a wartime mental hospital, Eysenck and his associates succeeded in factoring out and describing two main dimensions of personality, named, with reservations, "neuroticism" and "extraversion-introversion." Similar in its quantitative experimental emphasis is Cattell's Description and Measurement of Personality (18), in which he discussed the findings of published and unpublished studies and showed how clinical observation, rating of behavior, self-inventories, and objective tests have contributed to our understanding of the "factors, syndromes, and traits" of personality. Its emphasis is on methods of research. Entirely concerned with methodology is Rapaport, Gill, and Schafer's second volume on Diagnostic Psychological Testing (70).Much of the research that would naturally be included in this chapter has been recently reviewed by Anderson and Embree in the REVIEW for
