Intelligent Testing: What is the Truth Behind These Tests

Intelligent Testing needs to be flexible and adaptable. Tests need to be considerate of everyone. I have a master’s in both Special Education and Educational Leadership. With these career backgrounds and training, I have had the responsibility of preparing and administrating assessments. Even though extra time is often awarded for persons with disabilities in many settings when needed, other accommodations are often necessary to ensure opportunities for success for all students. It is the equitable thing to do.

There is much more scholarship needed in school systems everywhere about the intelligent testing. Too often people place more weight on intelligent testing than what this sort of assessment deserves.

When implementing assessments, it is important to look at each individual and the needs of such individual to determine what sort of assessment is needed and what sort of accommodations are needed to best seek the privation of the individual.

Intelligent tests normally do not provide flexibility or adaptation per student. Instead, such assessments normally provide a list of questions in a variety of formatting.

These test usually only reveal what a person has previously learned and mastered. It does not provide how intelligent a person is or is not, but instead, what an individual has mastered and areas where an individual may possess deficits.
