I SAN FRANCISCO W If you're
an adult who didn't do ?o well on
your last I. Q. test, cheer up. May
be you were sold short.
The standard I. Q. test comes a
long way from being a good yard
stick of adult intelligence, says lr.
J. P. Guilford, a psychology pro
lessor who has invented many new
ays of measuring creativenes
iudsment. reasoning power and
other elements of mentality.
Only a few of the 200 items in
the Stanford-Binet test, long-used
by psychologists, deal with these
abstract but extremely important
mental factors, he asserts.
Dr. Guilford, who is on the facul
ty of the University of Southern
California, was the only American
psychologist invited to present a
paper at a recent conference in
Paris on factor analysis. He told
nhmit some of his new tests there.
The Maniora-uinei tesi was oe-; Mimimmt
signed for children. It was sup-;S
posed to give investigators an iden 1
of how a given youngster wo,ildjs
get along in elementary school. In :f
that respect it was, and still is, a
It was applied later to adults j -
mainly because it was the Den;
available instrument for assessing
man intelligence. In its original
form it was given to several hund
red thousand soldiers of World War
I. Later the Army's Aloha ' and
Beta tests for mentality were used
on service personnel.
Using the same kind of tests for ;
verbal comprehension and reason- j
Ing on adults as on children nss j
not only short-chansed some of the j
subjects but also has limited r.ci- i
entific knowledge of what human
intelligence really is. Dr. Guilford,
ays.
Get Alon Well
A hi'h I. 0. doesn't necessarily
mean a person is or will be a great i
creative thinker. Sometimes it has
been a parallel to indifferent ca-;
reers in later life. - j
, At least one experimenter has
shown that people with slightly:
substandard I. Q. rating?, get;
along pretty well in life and rate
highly as automobile drivers. i
There are at least 40 and per-;
haps as many as 60 factors' con-
cerned with intellect. Dr. Guilford
reports, and the" standard I. Q.
test does not begin to disclose
them. !
The new tests by Guilford andl
his associates are designed to show j
up creativity, the powers of de-i
duction or logical evaluation, tie
ability to discover and become !
aware of important things, and the ;
faculty for drawing conclusions
and sensing problems.
Both Sides
. Another elusive thing which Guil- j
ford has undertaken to measure is '
one's powers to follow divergent:
lines of - thinking that is, being
able to see both sides of the matter j
without losing the faculty for criti- j
cal judgment. " , ;
Speed of judgment is another. I
These things test a person's flexi-j
bility and originality.
The 40 to 60 components of in- j
telligence fall into about six cafe-'
jories, Dr. Guilford says. They,
are: -
1. The discovery factor, which
deals with awareness.
2. The memory for words, num-.
bers, designs.
' 3. The knack of learning and
recognizing symbols, involved in
arithmetic and reading comprehen
sion, i
Products of Thinking j
4. The production factor, con
cerning one's handling of conclu
sions, solutions and other products .
jf thinking.
5. The divergent-thinking factor, '
having to do with flexibility and ;
originality. j
. 6. The evaluaton factor which ;
relates to logical assessment of
problems and speed of judgment, i
. In six years Guilford and his'
rolleagues have developed nearly j
200 tests to evaluate the aptitudes
of high-level personnel for the Of- j
fice of Naval Research. They also !
were given to 3,000 officer candi-
dates in the armed services.
During World War II. Dr. Guil-:
ford was a lieutenant colonel in the
Air Force's West Coast Replace-i
ment Training Center at Santa
Ana, Calif.
He is a graduate of the Univer
sity of Nebraska and Cornell. He
taught at Nebraska and the Uni
versities of Illinois and Kansas be
fore going to USC in 1940.

Dog Killed by
Train; Lad
Gets Another
KEWAUNEE. Wis-(UP) Nine-year-old
Patrick Murphy doen't
have the same dog he had last
year. But he's just as happy with
the substitute.
The boy's dog. Albert, was killed
by a Green Bay Western train near
. Ks home here. Young Patrick
wrote a letter to the railroad that
said in part:
"Your train ran over my dog
and killed him- He was such a nice
and good do? ... His name wa
Albert . . . Tell your engineer that
e don't blame him because he
ran over Albert it's just that
we feel so sad."
The letter went right to the desk
of the railroad's president, Honv
er E. McGee. who answered:
, 4,We! are all very sorry to hear
about the lass of your dog. I think
I can appreciate how bad you feel
because when I was a boy your
age I lived on ,a farm in Texas,
and I had a dog too."
J A few days later , one of the rail
road's officers visited the home of
fcounty Judge Aaron Murphy, Pat
rick's father- The result: one Ger
man shepherd pup for Patrick and
bis younger brother and sister. The
dog's name-is Homer.
