content: During their time at Ohio State University, Rudolf Pintner (1884-1942) and Donald G. Paterson (1892-1961) devised an influential Scale of Performance Tests, an intelligence examination for use with deaf children in the schools of Ohio. This initially involved manipulation of concrete objects. During the course of World War I, U.S. Army psychologists adopted portions of this scale into the paper-and-pencil Army Beta examination. This volume, published in 1923, describes the Pintner-Paterson Scale. Other versions of the book appeared in 1917, 1921, and 1925.
