The Tyranny of Testing.
Sternberg, Robert J.
Learning, v17 n7 p60-63 Mar 1989
Standardized tests which measure a narrow span of intelligence unfairly penalize students whose strengths don't fall within that range. Three kinds of intelligence (analytical, creative, practical) are discussed. Sternberg's Triarchic Abilities Test, currently being test-piloted, assesses all three aspects of intelligence in contrast to current tests which assess analytical abilities. (IAH)
