"Ever since Binet gave us the idea of a "mental yardstick," it has been customary to evaluate individual achievement in terms of statistical criteria. Parallel with this trend there has been a tendency to lose sight of the individual. The norms of standard tests are based upon majority findings, and are doubtless applicable to the majority of children. It does not follow, however, that they are applicable to the exceptional child. Most of the children referred to the clinic are exceptional in some way, and we have no standard instrument that offers the exceptional child a fair opportunity to show what he can do. We examine him by a scale that may be grossly unfair to him, and report his achievement as compared with that of normal children. This is intended as an auxiliary textbook for advanced students in clinical psychology, written to encourage in them a critical and experimental attitude in their use of mental tests. It has been my wish to avoid any considerable overlap with the writings of others, and to present a point of view not generally recognized"--Preface.

"This is a book for the beginner, who is apt to be interested primarily in such practical issues of psychology as how to study or how to select a wife; the instructor, on the other hand, is apt to be more concerned with providing a concept of the method and scope of the subject and its status as a science. Since the ultimate aim of the science of psychology is the understanding and prediction of human behavior, the interests of student and instructor are not actually mutually exclusive. This book has been written in the confidence that both types of interest can be to some degree satisfied in the same volume. It is the thesis of this book that a human individual is a biological organism living in a social environment, and that it is therefore necessary, if we are to understand the behavior of human beings, to study the nature of biological organisms and the nature of their social environment. The organization of the chapters has been made so that this aim could be realized"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved).

The emergence of the human personality is treated with reference to the civilizations of India, China, and Israel. The author contends that in earlier stages of civilization the individual remained submerged in the group and failed to see himself as contrasted with the society to which he belonged. In India, China, and Israel there appeared the self-consciousness and reflection necessary for the development of personality.
