The Intelligence Quotient as an Aid in Adjusting Junior High School Children
Abstract
Current literature abounds with articles concerning the youth of to-day. The subject matter of these articles frequently deal with the various phases of education suitable for the adolescent in the junior high school. At this critical period in his development, much can be done to aid him in his future success or failure. He is susceptible to suggestions and explorations. He must not waste time by aimless wanderings of his own choice, but a suggestion from time to time by someone, who knows his capabilities and handicaps, will prove helpful. The question naturally arises whether the junior high school can help the child. There are innumerable details necessary before a tentative suggestion is given. His personality and intelligence must be studied. "Personality may be envisaged as a resultant of three factors: the innate self, the acquired self, and the directing self. The Interaction of the three elements produces the product known as personality."
