An Examination of the Binet Intelligence Test and Multiple Intelligence Constructs (Article written in chinese)

CHEUNG Kwok-Cheung

Abstract

This paper starts by raising three questions related to issues of All Round Education, Individually Configured Education, and Quality Education so as to provoke readers to think about concepts of Intelligence and meanings of Intelligence-Fair in educational settings. A traditional IO test, Chinese Binet Intelligence Test, is then analyzed to show its narrow coverage and out-of-date measurement philosophy. Through review of relevant literature, this paper seeks to examine the core components of Gardner's multiple intelligence constructs and summarize some of their manifestations. Teachers can base on these to observe and assess via various means students' intelligence framework. A comparison of traditional Binet IQ and contemporary MI measureme nt philosophies is also presented.

Keywords: Binet Intelligence Test; Multiple Intelligences; Construct Validity; Intelligence Fair
