Research

In particular, the work of J._P._Guilford needs to be brought into this page. Rather than talk the general population, we can look at the specific subset of those eligible for military service: Guilford's post-war research led to the development of classification testing that, modified in different ways, entered into the various personnel assessments administered by all branches of the U.S. Armed Services. So generally speaking, all U.S. Military qualifying exams of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s descended from Guilford's research.jmswtlk (talk) 14:42, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Military records

Is it possible to gain access to a copy of my AGCT which I took in June of 1946 70.181.67.20 (talk) 19:50, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Military records can be obtained via this form. The entry scores would be part of the record, generally. jmswtlk (talk) 20:34, 2 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Readiness

Prediction thereof? That's the goal. Sellman gives a nice overview plus history.

Intelligence Citations Bibliography for Articles Related to IQ Testing

You may find it helpful while reading or editing articles to look at a bibliography of Intelligence Citations, posted for the use of all Wikipedians who have occasion to edit articles on human intelligence and related issues. I happen to have circulating access to a huge academic research library at a university with an active research program in these issues (and to another library that is one of the ten largest public library systems in the United States) and have been researching these issues since 1989. You are welcome to use these citations for your own research. You can help other Wikipedians by suggesting new sources through comments on that page. It will be extremely helpful for articles on human intelligence to edit them according to the Wikipedia standards for reliable sources for medicine-related articles, as it is important to get these issues as well verified as possible. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 03:13, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The test is not about IQ though there are correlations that may be of interest to many. To me, at the time (3 years ago), Ballantyne's work (which was fully web accessible) was a good source as it covered the history. If it is not the case that this is a good source, then the references can be substituted by others that may be more appropriate. If Ballantyne's work can be considered worthy of acceptance, then it ought to be on a list even if it is not the list of bests. But, again, we are not talking 'intelligence' testing with the AGCT. jmswtlk (talk) 18:09, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I will check Ballantyne's work (which, if I remember correctly, I've seen cited in some other sources). Because of the way the AFQT subset of the ASVAB has been used in population research on IQ in the United States, there is some historical interest among psychologists in the earlier Army tests. The World War I testing program is still commented on by psychologists today. Thanks for the research suggestion (and have a happy Thanksgiving). -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 18:32, 25 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
