Abstract: | Comments on the article by Alexander G. Wesman (see record 1968-18802-001), in which he proposed an organization of intelligence as a composite of all past learning experiences and discussed intelligence tests and what they truly measure. The current author responds to a point Wesman made, which implied that the Culture-Fair test had been designed for no sound purpose. It is suggested that one way to distinguish between the child who truly cannot benefit from regular class instruction and one who could would be to get some measure of what he has acquired (learned) from his particular subculture.
