The images and IQ test questions that run throughout this book came from a variety of sources. The first is, believe it or not, my memory. When you take as many IQ tests as I have, they stick to your anxiety and never let go. Where I drew blanks, I turned to the actual tests and their guidebooks. They include: WAIS Object Assembly (The Psychological Corporation, 1955); Measuring Intelligence: A Guide to the Administration of the New Revised Stanford-Binet Tests of Intelligence by Lewis M. Terman and Maud A. Merrill (Houghton Mifflin, 1937), 102 (Form L / 4); WAIS Manual, Weschler Adult Intelligence Scale by David Wechsler (The Psychological Corporation, 1955); WAIS Object Assembly H (The Psychological Corporation, 1955). The images that appear are renditions inspired by Stanford-Binet and WAIS (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale) picture-completion and design cards.
Other books I read to refresh my memory and accurately portray the sequence of testing include: Capturing the Essence: How Herman Hall Interpreted Standardized Test Scores by James Shapiro (Joukowsky Family Foundation, 2004); A Method of Measuring the Development of the Intelligence of Young Children by Alfred Binet and Th. Simon (Chicago Medical Book Co., 1915); Emotional Disorders of Children: A Case Book of Child Psychiatry by Gerald H. J. Pearson, MD (Hayne Press, 2011); Diagnostic Psychological Testing by David Rapaport, Merton M. Gill, and Roy Schafer (International Universities Press, 1968); Foundations of Psychological Testing: A Practical Approach by Leslie A. Miller and Robert L. Lovler (SAGE, 2015). Since 1977 I have kept journals, and I also used those as reference.
