Improvement in the abilities of individuals who are given intelli- gence tests ceases at an early age, usually about 16 years, Warren R.I Good, of the education school, stated yesterday in a radio address on "Intelligence Tests." "Repeated measurements have led to the conclusion that our intelli- gence tests do not measure much growth in intelligence beyond the ages varying from 14 to 18," he said. This statement should not be taken to mean, he explained, that a boy of 16 knows as much as a RADIO TODAY Donal Hamilton Haines, of the journalism department, will talk at 2 o'clock this afternoon, dur- ing the University radio pro- gram, concerning some phases of his work.

"One common mistake in consid- ering the results of intelligence, tests," he said, "is the assumptionI that a pupil will do what the test shows he can do. The assumption, together with an 'entirely uncritical attitude towards early tests and a lack of skill in administering them, led to an unfortunate misuse of tests in the early years of the move- ment." Good strongly advised that schools have an accurate measure of the intelligence of each pupil. These tests, he said, should be adminis- tered by some one who has been especially trained for the job. The individual results should not 'bel given to the general public, but every teacher should have adequate knowledge of the pupils' mental abilities. was named one of the vice-presi- dents of the American Sociological society.
