“…The same two measures of intelligence used by Burstein were computed for the three groups of patients. Present functioning intelligence was estimated on the basis of the IQ obtained from the Comprehension-Vocabulary-Similarities (CVS) subtests of the Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence Scale (Hunt, Klebanoff, Mensh, & Williams, 1948). The CVS was administered individually.…”

conditions under which accurate self-prediction is and is not possible remains minimal. Particularly in view of the persistent difficulties encountered when "expert judges" attempt to predict the behavior of others, a renewed exploration of the self-report seems worthwhile, not merely to obtain the subject's self-descriptions but also to obtain his explicit outcome predictions for specific contingencies.

“…The most promising of the scales we have used is CVS consisting of Comprehension (C) and Similarities (S) from the Wechsler-Bellevue scale and a 15-word vocabulary test (V) adapted by Thorndike from the Stanford-Binet. We have already published results from the original standardization group of 528 Naval recruits and a cross-validational group of 511 recruits, plus several clinical samplings [4,5,7]. Further work now has confirmed the satisfactory performance of CVS and extended our normative groups to a total of over 2,000 cases.…”

“…For the past few years the authors and their colleagues have been engaged in the development and evaluation of brief individual intelligence scales [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11]. Our goal has been a brief scale, easily administered, that would offer an adequate measure of intelligence at the same time that it was serving as a rough diagnostic screen.…”

“…Continuing the work started during World War II, Hunt and his colleagues (10,11) have developed several brief individual intelligence tests based on the Kent E-G-Y Scales, Stanford-Binet Vocabulary, Army General Classification Test, and Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence Scale. These tests have been developed primarily to assist in the screening of mili tary recruits.…”

The need for diagnosis in counseling has been a subject of discussion during the past year. Since 1942, nondirective counselors have stressed the needlessness and even the hazards of diagnostic procedures. In 1949 this point of view was presented in a comprehensive statement by Snygg & Combs (1). These authors, adopting what they entitle a "phenomono logical psychology of individual behavior," state that the purpose of counseling is to assist the individual to perceive himself as he is, to accept this perception, and to behave accordingly. Diagnostic techniques, being imperfect, can only lead the counselor, who is another source of error, to arrive at erroneous conclusions about the client and thus retard rather than facilitate the process of self-understanding through which the client is progressing.The contradictory point of view has been presented by Super (2):As a user of psychological tests and as a diagnostician of vocational aptitudes and interests the counselor has available information which may be of crucial im portance to the client and of value to society. But neither the individual nor society may be aware of the availability and significance of that information; the client may never ask for it, and the counselor may never seek to obtain or to share it, if strictly nondirective procedures are used. One might ask whether it is ethical for a counselor to let a high school student work through his attitudes toward going to college and to make college plans without checking up on his mental equipme nt for going to college. Does a counselor who knows that a young man who is planning to enter a skilled trade actually has abilities and interests which might make him a scientist of considerable stature owe it to his client to make him aware of that fact? And does he owe it to society? It is not only attitudes which make for success and satisfaction: abilities, opportunities, and awareness also play a part. The COlln selor has an obligation beyond that of assisting the client to assume responsibility for his own action, although that seems to be the s
