Popis: The purpose of this paper is not to denigrate pencil-and-paper tests of intellectual capabilities. The Understanding in Science Test, if it were not for its reliability problems, may be a useful test of intellectual processing. It appears not to be a successful analogue to clinically-administered Piagetian tasks. The same may be said of the other written or group tests of this nature. If they are reliable, they may provide useful measures of intellectual ability. Our research, though, suggests that, for junior high school students and younger, they may not possess high concurrent validity with Piagetian tasks.
