| Abstract | Some of the problems involved in the use of intelligence and achievement tests with bicultural students are discussed. Some tests are "fair" to bicultural groups. The Arthur Performance Scale and the Goodenough Draw-A-Man-Test are fair to certain Hopi and Navajo Indian Groups. The use of these tests has been limited because they have not correlated highly with the academic achievement of these groups. The following guidelines are given for the testing of the intelligence of bicultural children: (1) it is unrealistic to expect an intelligence test to be magically "fair" to all cultures and accurately predict behavior when the values affecting the definition of intelligent behavior vary drastically; (2) tests which may be "fair" for one bicultural group may not correlate with achievement and hence be of limited value to educators; (3) intelligence tests should not be given to bicultural students simply because it is routinely given to the other students; (4) individual tests should be given when feasible so that test-taking behavior may be better controlled; (5) a test which separates verbal and non-verbal scores may be more descriptive of the relative ability of upper grade bicultural students; (6) test results for bicultural students should be used with a great deal of reservation by people who are familiar with testing bicultural students; and (7) it is imperative that other sources of information be used in conjunction with read test scores. Achievement tests can be used as a measure of bicultural children's success in school, with reservations relating to language and cultural factors. (DB) |
