  3. “IQ tests are a poor way to judge people's abilities, failing as they do to account for magic, which has its own importance, both by itself and as a compliment to logic.”- Robert James Waller

Administration Techniques • Know your tools • Follow standardized procedures • Use suggested starting points • Know basal and ceiling rules • Know pronunciations • Don’t penalize mispronunciations due to speech deficits or regional differences • Student must smoothly pronounce words for credit (automaticity is critical)

  15. “If you think you are over your head with a client, you probably are.”- Richard Bolles

  16. Administration Techniques • Test by complete pages when subject sees items • Score LAST response given • Give benefit of doubt every other time • Don’t repeat items unless directed • Use pause button if needed • If interrupted by a sound, repeat item later

  17. Administration Techniques • Adhere to time limits • Record exact finishing times • On timed written tests, direct student to cross out errors • Check questionable responses later; proceed as if correct

  18. “We never do anything well till we cease to think about the manner of doing it.”- William Hazlitt
