France Tests of Mental Ability

As has been noted, the various Winchester scales consist in part have nonverbal or performance items. This may in part reflect a particular need in the field of mental testing for nonverbal adequately by purely verbal tests—the deaf, on-English spoken groups, illiterates, and the educationally deficient. To serve these and other needs, various nonverbal or performance tests were constructed. These have been used primarily to supplement other tests of intelligence and to provide a more nearly adequate appraisal of the individual's capabilities.

Performance tests, therefore, have certain values in clinical work. They can be applied in cases where various languages handicaps or deficiencies would distort findings from verbal tests. In addition to the specific groups already referrer to, performance test have been utilized with individuals with speech defects and with unusually shy or withdrawn children. In such cases speech defects and with unusually shy or withdrawn children. In such cases the nonverbal nature of the situation may result in less stress or anxiety on the part of the individual to be examined then might be the case with exclusively verbal tests. Furthermore, when low score are obtained on tests such as the revised Stanford-Bidet, performance tests will help to clarify or support the climatic diagnosis of the patient. For example, if a subject suspected of possible mental deficiency with the revised Stanford-Bidet should receive a much higher score on a performance test, factors other than intelligence would have to be investigated as possible cause of the law score obtained previously. If, on the other hand, the score obtained from performance tests agree closely with other test findings, the original diagnostic impression receives confirmation.

All Known performances tests however correlate positive with verbal tests of intelligence. Although the coefficients of correlation very for different tests, the most frequent values obtained range from .50 to .75. While collocations of such magnitude indicate that the two types of tests in great part are measuring similar intellectual functions, they also suggest that the two tests tap somewhat different abilities. Performance tests, therefore, are not considered as alternatives or substitutes for a test like the Stanford-Bidet Scale and usually will be administered in addition to it.

With the advent of the Winchester scale, it appears that the use of individual performance tests has diminished somewhat. However they still have a role as aids in the clinical evaluation of selected cases. Among the best known of these tests are the Grace Arthur scale and the Pinter Patterson scale. From I of the former consists of nine tests while from 11 consists of five tests. The Pinter-Patterson scale consists of fifteen separate performance tests. Many of the same types of tests are used in both scale, and some of them are also included in the Winchester scales.e.g; block design, object assembly and picture completion.
Mention can also be made of a somewhat unusual test, which is generally included in this category of tests. This is the Porte's Maze Test, which has a reasonably long history in psychology. The test consists of graded paper mazes, which the subject traces with a pencil. The subject is not allowed to lift the pencil, and thus careful appraisal and planning are emphasized. When an error occurs, the subject is given a second trial. How well the subject scores on the test depends on the number of trails and errors recorded. The test is considered by Porte's to be a measure of the individual's ability to plan and to use foresight. The test has been used with a wide variety of subjects, including primitive people, mental defective, illiterates, criminals, delinquents, brain-damaged patients, and patients given ataractic drugs. It appears that the test may be particularly sensitive to certain kinds of drug effects.

GROUP TESTS OF INTELLIGENCE:

In addition to individual tests of intelligence, tests, which can be given to large group of individuals at one time, have also been developed and enjoy great popularity. Such tests obviously save much time and are much more economical to administer than individual tests are. They require tests training on the part of the examiner to administer a can be scored very quickly by machines. Today computers can even analyze them.

Group test of intelligence are undoubtedly the most widely used mental tests in the field of education and are used at all levels ranging from the elementary school to the graduate school. In recent years, the mental tests used at the higher education levels have more commonly been referred to as academic or scholastic aptitude tests. This in some ways it perhaps a better characterizations of these mental test since they are being used to help predict future academic success. Thus, we have a number of tests, which have been developed for ascertaining college aptitudes and general suitability for graduate school.

As already indicated, group tests of intelligence have near. Developed for individuals at practically all grade levels, and we shall now refer to a few representative tests at various age and grade levels. Some of these tests cover a wide age range and have specific forms for the primary grades, for the intermediate grads. And for the secondary school grades. Examples of such tests are they Pintner General Ability tests, the Otis Quick Scoring Mental Ability Tests. The Kuhlman Anderson intelligence tests the Lorge-Thorndike intelligence tests. And the California test of mental maturity. In they Pinter series, for example, the Pintner Cunningham primary test is designed primarily for children in kindergarten, the first grade and the first half of the second grade. Such tests obviously cannot rely on the ability of subjects in this age range to be able to read, and thus they are frequently referred to as non verbal tests Generally the instruction are given orally with sample items to acquaint the subjects with the test procedures to be followed. Most items are pictorial in type and the subject this told to perform a specific task mark the thing that go together mark the prettiest drawing and mark the missing part.
The tests for the intermediate and higher levels usually assume some ability to read on the part of the subjects taking the test and, therefore, tend to be more verbal. Generally, verbal and quantitative item are found in many if not most scales although their are individuals variations. The lorge-Thordnide tests, however contain a nonverbal battery, which can be used when the test may be deemed more appropriate. In fact, Spanish directions are also available for the nonverbal battery in terms of use4 with Spanish speaking population in our country. The verbal and nonverbal scores. However ten to correlate about 70.

In addition to the test already mentioned. There are a number of others, which have been developed for use with high school students or adults without college education. One of the better-known tests of this type, which ha a rather long history is the Terman McNamara test of Mental Ability. The Terming McNamara is again primarily a verbal test as are the Henson Nelson test of mental ability although the specific time limits for the various group tests of intelligence very, most of them appear to require around forty five minutes to an hour. The format of the different test also varies. Some may have a single time limit and the subject tries to complete as many items as possible within that time limit. Other may be divided into subunits consisting of similar types of item with separate time limits in some instances the individuals test form is used for recording responses while in other instances special answer sheet and pencils for machine scoring are used.

In terms of tests used in helping to select students for admission to graduate school the too most widely used are the miller analogies test and the Graduate record examination. The Millar analogies test consists of rather difficult analogies item with a fifty-minted time limit. It is administrated at certain selected centers and many graduate school require that prospective students take the test prior to tithe time that their application are considered for admission to graduate school .The graduate record differs in that it provider verbal an quantitative scores. Comparable to those already mentions for other intelligence test, and lasso provides for evaluation of the student achievement unselected academic subject areas.

The Davis eells games designed to; be an unbiased test for Low class children in American society, is a pictorial test which is administered orally various types of problem are presented, and the subject is asked to give his solution, the test is relatively long a hard to administer in some ways it is difficult to evaluate the test since the author do not appear to be concerned with conventional validating criteria. However as Anastasia points out the result of almost thirty studies indicate that the test has not correlated as highly with achievement test and teacher grades as conventional intelligible tests have and that lower class children perform as poorly on this test as on the more traditional tests. It would appear that true culture fair test are hard to come by and theta certain kinds of experience as well as ability may be required for good test performance.

TESTS OF SPECIAL OR DIFFERENTIAL MENTAL ABILITIES

As mentioned previously, there have been some individuals in the field of intelligence testing who take the view that intelligence is made up of number of separate mental abilities. Consequently, if one is to make an adequate appraisal of intellectual ability from this point of view, one needs tests, which measure these separate factors of intelligence. Through the use of methods such as factor analysis one can a supposedly derive the more basic components underlying our more global test of intelligence. Thus, from a wide variety of tests items one can ultimately derive a limited number of basic clustering of items, which can be viewed as representing primary mental abilities. One of the leading exponents of this view was thrust one, who developed several tests of primary mental abilities, including the Chicago tests of primary mental Abilities. For ages eleven to seventeen and the SRA Primary Mental abilities for ages five to seventeen. The latter provides separate scores for variable number abilities or factors. Among the factors most frequently identified have been; spatial, perceptual Numerical verbal comprehension memory, word fluency and reasoning.

The problem of whether intelligence consists mainly of basic general factor with accompanying secondary factors of more specific nature or whether they primary mental abilities or factors are indeed primary and a general factor is secondary depend sin part upon the methods and interpretations of the investigators involved. This kind of problem, as indicated previously, is a difficult one to resolve. And it may be better to look at a more empirical aspect of the problem.

According to McNamara the predictive ability factored special ability better then tests of general intelligence and this view appears to be supported by the bulk of the data at hand Thorndale and Hagen. There has also been some emphasis on the facts that a general factor is more obvious in studies of young children and that a greater degree of differentiation of mental abilities emerges in adolescence and adulthood. From this point of view, general intelligence develops first and become more highly differentiated with maturation a development, however these findings are also open to other interpretations.

How To Build Your Self Confidence

2009-06-20T09:12:00.001+05:30

One of the most important steps to achieving your goals in life is to develop a strong sense of self confidence. This does not however involve becoming loud or arrogant. On the contrary, people with genuine self confidence are usually calm and self assured and do not need to 'big note' themselves.

Here are my top ten tips for building your self confidence:

1. Visualise Yourself As The Person You Want To Be

Each morning spend a few minutes visualising yourself as the person you want to be. Think about the way you dress, the way you carry yourself and the way you interact with other people. Seeing yourself as the person you want to become is the first step towards building self confidence.

Top 10 Health Benefits of Drinking Tea

2009-06-19T18:01:00.001+05:30

There are lots of reasons why I enjoy a hot cup of tea: I love the aroma of various flavors of tea; holding onto a hot tea mug warms my hands on a cold winter morning; sipping tea in front of the fireplace is a great way to relax. And those are just the feel-good reasons. If you're not drinking tea yet, read up on these 10 ways tea does your body good and then see if you're ready to change your Starbucks order!

1. Tea contains antioxidants. Like the Rust-Oleum paint that keeps your outdoor furniture from rusting, tea's antioxidants protect your body from the ravages of aging and the effects of pollution.

2. Tea has less caffeine than coffee. Coffee usually has two to three times the caffeine of tea (unless you're a fan of Morning Thunder, which combines caffeine with mate, an herb that acts like caffeine in our body). An eight-ounce cup of coffee contains around 135 mg caffeine; tea contains only 30 to 40 mg per cup. If drinking coffee gives you the jitters, causes indigestion or headaches or interferes with sleep -- switch to tea.

3. Tea may reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke. Unwanted blood clots formed from cholesterol and blood platelets cause heart attack and stroke. Drinking tea may help keep your arteries smooth and clog-free, the same way a drain keeps your bathroom pipes clear. A 5.6-year study from the Netherlands found a 70 percent lower risk of fatal heart attack in people who drank at least two to three cups of black tea daily compared to non-tea drinkers.

4. Tea protects your bones. It's not just the milk added to tea that builds strong bones. One study that compared tea drinkers with non-drinkers, found that people who drank tea for 10 or more years had the strongest bones, even after adjusting for age, body weight, exercise, smoking and other risk factors. The authors suggest that this may be the work of tea's many beneficial phytochemicals.

5. Tea gives you a sweet smile. One look at the grimy grin of Austin Powers and you may not think drinking tea is good for your teeth, but think again. It's the sugar added to it that's likely to blame for England's bad dental record. Tea itself actually contains fluoride and tannins that may keep plaque at bay. So add unsweetened tea drinking to your daily dental routine of brushing and flossing for healthier teeth and gums.

6. Tea bolsters your immune defenses. Drinking tea may help your body's immune system fight off infection. When 21 volunteers drank either five cups of tea or coffee each day for four weeks, researchers saw higher immune system activity in the blood of the tea drinkers.

7. Tea protects against cancer. Thank the polyphenols, the antioxidants found in tea, once again for their cancer-fighting effects. While the overall research is inconclusive, there are enough studies that show the potential protective effects of drinking tea to make adding tea to your list of daily beverages.

8. Tea helps keep you hydrated. Caffeinated beverages, including tea, used to be on the list of beverages that didn't contribute to our daily fluid needs. Since caffeine is a diuretic and makes us pee more, the thought was that caffeinated beverages couldn't contribute to our overall fluid requirement. However, recent research has shown that the caffeine really doesn't matter -- tea and other caffeinated beverages definitely contribute to our fluid needs. The only time the caffeine becomes a problem as far as fluid is concerned is when you drink more than five or six cups of a caffeinated beverage at one time.

9. Tea is calorie-free. Tea doesn't have any calories, unless you add sweetener or milk. Consuming even 250 fewer calories per day can result in losing one pound per week. If you're looking for a satisfying, calorie-free beverage, tea is a top choice.

10. Tea increases your metabolism. Lots of people complain about a slow metabolic rate and their inability to lose weight. Green tea has been shown to actually increase metabolic rate so that you can burn 70 to 80 additional calories by drinking just five cups of green tea per day. Over a year's time you could lose eight pounds just by drinking green tea. Of course, taking a 15-minute walk every day will also burn calories.

A Red Rose

2009-06-19T17:34:00.003+05:30

A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundred miles away.

As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing. He asked her what was wrong and she replied, "I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars."

The man smiled and said, "Come on in with me. I'll buy you a rose." He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother's flowers.

As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, "Yes, please! You can take me to my mother." She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.

The man returned to the flower shop, canceled the wire order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother's house.

Moral: Don't Send Artificial Loves to your parents. Give them the respect and courtesy they desire. They are your most precious Treasure, Care for them. God Forbid, if they leave this world then one can do nothing but regret.

How to avoid spam in your inbox?

2009-06-17T14:49:00.001+05:30

Spams are unsolicited emails that are of no use to you, that are found in your inbox. After knowing what a spam is, the next step is to know how to avoid spam. Avoiding spam saves a lot of resources in your network. It also saves a lot of money for the organization. If you compare the costs of spam and the cost of an anti-spam solution, you would come to know that anti-spam solutions save you a lot of money. Now let us know how to avoid spam in your inbox to save a lot of space.

How to avoid spam in your inbox?

Most of the web mail providers like Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, and Rediffmail and a host of other web mail providers give you anti-spam filters. All you have to do is to activate the anti-spam filters in your account. If you spam filter is ON, all the spam are delivered usually to a Bulk folder or to a Junk folder. The name of the folder is not a concern, you should note that the spam are delivered to a separate folder other than you Inbox. You can modify the settings so that the spam mails are deleted automatically after 1 or 2 weeks or after a month. Different steps are provided by each service provider to avoid spam in your inbox.

If you are using Outlook Express or any other email client to retrieve your emails, then you have many antispam solutions that help you to identify the spam and deliver it to a special folder.
Another way to avoid spam in your Inbox is to avoid posting your email address to any newsgroup, or to avoid putting your email address on the WebPages of your website. Do not give your email addresses unnecessarily to all the websites you browse. They collect your email addresses and sell them to other companies who send you spam mails that take most of the space in your Inbox.

When you try to avoid spam using these filters there is every chance that some genuine emails from your friends get trapped in the Bulk or Junk folders. Hence it is always better to check you bulk folder for some genuine emails once in a while. If you find any genuine email in your Junk folder you can just mark it a Not Spam or Not Junk and that email address will be added to a Safe list so that further emails from that email address will be delivered to your Inbox instead of the Junk folder. Emails from the addresses that are in your Address book or Contacts Page are delivered to the Inbox only. So it is also better to update your Contacts page regularly to include all the email addresses of your friends and colleagues.

How e-mail addresses are harvested?

You might be wondering how those companies and organizations that send out spam find your email address. Most of the companies that send you emails are those that would have got the email id from your self. You could have given them the email address when you are in the process of registration for a service in their website. These companies sometimes sell your email address to a third part for a hefty sum. The company that buys your email addresses usually uses it to market a product. Mostly they use these email addresses and target only the intended audience. For example, while registering with a site, you might have given out your likes and dislikes, the subject of interest to you, etc. They use this information to target you when there is a product that is available which might interest you. You could have registered in a forum or newsgroups to join a community of your interest. They might also send you emails regularly. If you leave checking these emails for a few days you might end up with a few hundreds of junk emails. Anti-spam softwares help you to sort them to a different folder or to delete them. Email IDs are harvested from these newsgroups and forums.

Mailing lists are another option, where the companies request the mail servers to divulge with the list of emails they have. Sometimes the emails sent are tracked by using some code wherein if the email is read or delivered, the email address to which the mail is delivered is sent to the sender. This way they collect a list of valid email addresses and use them in the future.

During domain name registrations you will be giving your email addresses. This is also one of the way by which your email addresses are leaked to a third party. There are three email columns available during domain name registrations. Contacts for Administration, Technical, and Billing. The persons email addresses are available in these columns. These are easily harvested from the 'whois directory, which is always open. Another major source of email addresses are the IRCs and chat rooms.

Another method of harvesting email is the brute force method. In this method the spammers try all the possibilities of names of the email ids for that particular domain. They usually try the common names that are used as email ids and send out emails to them. Some of them respond to the emails and they get added to the spammers list. This method can be easily avoided by the site administrator if they watch the heavy incoming email traffic for their domain.

Unsubscribe facility in spam e-mails

Due to legal implications on the spammers now they provide with an 'Unsubscribe feature in the spams that are sent. You can use these links to unsubscribe from the mailing list of that company so that you can avoid further emails from that company. This is also a tedious process if you get many unsolicited emails. You cant keep on unsubscribe each of the mailing list and it may take a lot of time for you. Hence it is better to use anti-spam softwares and spam filters to avoid spams in your Inbox.

How much spam is normal?

Everyone around 10 to 15 spam emails a day, and wonders how much one should expect??????

Cancer info(prevention from cancer)

2009-06-17T14:38:00.001+05:30

Excellent article on cancer. Pass it on.

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLECHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND
ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE
IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .

Cancer Update fromJohns Hopkins:

1. Every person has cancer cells in thebody. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they havemultiplied to a few
billion. When doctors tell cancer patientsthat there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it justmeans the tests are
unable to detect the cancer cells becausethey have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to morethan 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system isstrong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying andforming tumours.

4. When a person has cancer it indicatesthe person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due togenetic, environmental,
food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritionaldeficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen theimmune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning therapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells inthe bone marrow,
gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can causeorgan damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cellsalso burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy andradiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapyand radiation do not
result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burdenfrom chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised ordestroyed, hence
the person can succumb to various kinds ofinfections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can causecancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgerycan also cause cancer
cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is tostarve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

WHAT CANCER CELLS FEEDON:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting offsugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugarsubstitutes like
NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are madewith Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manukahoney or molasses
but only in very sma ll amounts. Table salthas a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg'saminos or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus,especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cuttingoff milk and
substituting with unsweetened soy milk,cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acidenvironment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and alittle chicken rather than
beef or pork. Meat also contains livestockantibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especiallyto people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables andjuice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into analkaline
environment. About 20% can be from cookedfood including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that areeasily absorbed and reach
down to cellular levels within 15 minutesto no urish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes forbuilding healthy cells try
and drink fresh vegetable juice (mostvegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times aday. Enzymes are destroyed at
temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degreesC).

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, whichhave high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fightingproperties.
Water-best to drink purified water, orfiltered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled wateris acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest andrequires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in theintestines become putrified
and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough proteincovering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes toattack the protein walls of
cancer cells and allows the body's killercells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immunesystem (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.)to enable the
body's own killer cells to destroy cancercells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, orprogrammed cell death, the
body's normal method of disposing ofdamaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body,and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be asurvivor. Anger,
unforgiveness and bitterness put the bodyinto a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgivingspirit. Learn to relax
and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in anoxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get moreoxygen down to the cellular
level. Oxygen therapy is another meansemployed to destroy cancer cells.
