Welcome back to They'll Be Fine! This week, we're tackling a complex and often misunderstood topic: intelligence testing. But we're not just scratching the surface. We're going straight to the source, speaking with Dr. Jack Naglieri. Dr. Naglieri, an Emeritus professor at George Mason University and senior research scientist at the Devereux Center for Resilient Children, has dedicated his career to creating more equitable and accurate assessment tools. He's the driving force behind the Naglieri General Ability Test, a recent winner of the 2024 Excellence in Equity – Industry Impact Award, and a recipient of the prestigious New York Association of School Psychologists Legends Award.
Dr. Naglieri's work revolutionizes how we understand intelligence. In this episode, he explains how tests can measure thinking itself, not just accumulated knowledge. He also explains his COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT SYSTEM, which focuses on four essential cognitive processes: Planning, Attention, Simultaneous, and Successive – or PASS. We'll delve into how these assessments can provide a fairer, more nuanced understanding of intelligence across diverse populations, and how this data can empower teachers to tailor their instruction for every student. Let's welcome the brilliant Dr. Jack Naglieri!
