label: Description
content: Dearborn’s early research was on problems in reading. In the wake of the US. Army World War I psychological testing program, he published in 1920 a series of intelligence tests for children. These were arranged in two series, series I (for children in grades one through three) and series II (for children in grades four through twelve). This is the 1921 revised form of Dearborn’s series I, sold by J.B. Lippincott Co. of New York. It is entitled “Games and Picture Puzzles,” as the early Dearborn intelligence tests were.
