Measuring Intelligence in the Sultanate of Oman
Alkiyumi, Mohammed Talib
International Journal of School & Educational Psychology, v4 n4 p262-265 2016
This article reviews the history of intelligence measurement in the Sultanate of Oman, based on different aspects of historical evidence. These intelligence measurements have been used to describe activities of the Omani citizens. Since there is no unique Omani intelligence test, researchers conducted studies to standardize different intelligence tests in the Omani environments. Nowadays, Wechsler intelligence tests are used in schools to determine whether students are eligible for special education.
