Abstract

From time immemorial, mankind has differentiated individuals by intelligence based on observations. Undoubtedly, the results of such observations were subjective. It is not surprising, therefore, that there was a need to design objective methods of intelligence examination. After explaining (at a possible level at that time) the essence of intelligence and developing its structure, psychologists were given a real opportunity to develop tools for its examination. The first such toolkit was developed by Binet. In doing so, the author used the idea of fixing the number of correct solutions of the tasks that were offered to the subject. These tasks were aimed at examining the structural components of intelligence. After Binet, this methodological approach was used by different psychologists, with the only difference being that each new toolkit (called the intelligence test) examined slightly different structural components of intelligence and accordingly used slightly different tasks and their number. The intelligence tests thus obtained gave a generally satisfactory result. The values of the level of intelligence obtained with their help significantly correlated with the academic achievements of individuals and their professional success. At the same time, this correlation wished to be greater. This fact has made psychologists more critical of tests as methods of intelligence examination. As a result, a number of other shortcomings have been identified. There were so many drawbacks, and they were so significant that even the testability of intelligence tests had to be questioned. Moderate ones offered to supplement the results of the test survey with pedagogical observation data, to examine different mental processes. However, this approach has not been widely used. Most likely it is unpromising. Therefore, the task of constructing valid and reliable intelligence tests century after their invention has not lost its relevance.
