Summary:

"The point performance scale in its present form is the result of the work of a number of years. The complete report of this final standardization project is being published in two volumes. This book, Volume I, is intended as a clinical manual. From it has been excluded everything not of immediate use in the daily routine of the psychological examination. Of the various sets of norms obtained, only the chronological age norms for Form I of the scale, and the retest norms of Form II are included in this volume, as these are the ones for which the clinician will have daily use. The scale in its present form is intended as a clinical instrument to be used by adequately trained clinicians in psychological and psychiatric clinics. It is hoped that its use will be limited to such clinics, as many of the tests, owing to a puzzle element, are especially susceptible to practice effect. The simple, game-like form of the tests renders them attractive to patients of all ages. Its primary value is to supplement the Binet rating. This supplementary rating is of value in diagnosis whether it confirms the Binet rating, as it does in the majority of cases, or whether it shows an unequal development between verbal and non-verbal abilities"--Book.
