Abstract

The fourth edition of the Stanford-Binet lntelligence Scale is now available for sale and use in this country, from the Australian Council of Educational Research. Many of the individual items appear culturally suspect. Use of the test is not recommended until some clear guidelines on this important issue are established. Comment on the many individual items of concern is included as a first step towards the establishment of such guidelines.
