Imposed-Etic and Emic Measures of Intelligence as Predictors of Early School Performance of Rural Philippine Children.

Church, A. Timothy; Katigbak, Marcia S.

Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, v19 n2 p164-77 Jun 1988

Emic (culture-specific) and Western-type (imposed-etic) strategies were applied to the assessment of intelligence in 67 rural Filipino children. Imposed-etic tests measured a concept of intelligence that only partially overlaps emic conceptions, and were better predictors of school performance, which was not predicted by indigenous (emic) competencies.
