The short Army Performance Scale in clinical practice

Abstract

In this study a comparison is made of results obtained with the Terman Scale (long form with no substitution of alternates for the regular tests) and those using six tests of the Army Performance Scale: ship, manikin and profile, Knox cube, memory of designs, digit-symbol, and maze. It is pointed out that in the use of this short Army Performance Scale as an intelligence test subjects below thirty years of age score higher than their mental age, the greatest difference being from 12 to 15 years of age. Mention is made of the fact that the six-test scale was not particularly recommended by its originators. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
