Terman–McNemar Test of Mental Ability

an early group intelligence test designed for students in grades 7 through 12 and consisting of 162 four- or five-option multiple-choice items within seven types of verbal subtest: synonyms, classification, logical selection, information, analogies, opposites, and best answer. It was a modification and replacement of the 1920 Terman Group Test of Mental Ability, which was also a group-administered test but consisted of two-option multiple-choice items within 10 subtests: classification, logical selection, information, analogies, best answer, word meaning, sentence meaning, mixed sentences, arithmetic, and number series. [developed in 1942 by Lewis M. Terman and Quinn McNemar (1900–1986), U.S. psychologists]
