the most up-to-date version of any product when you order.  If you need an instrument,

pricing and packaging structure to streamline the process of buying Mind Garden
products.  Mind Garden operates as a small division within a larger company.  To make

possible.  Instruments have been bundled sampler sets and one year permissions sets
which include the following:

Structure of Intellect Tests

J. P. Guilford

The Structure of Intellect Experimental Measures is a collection of 238 short
instruments.  Developed in the context of the Aptitudes Research Program at the
University of Southern California, these instruments are part of a systematic
exploration of the Intellect and served as a base for the Structure-of-Intellect model
developed by Guilford and Associates in the late 1960's. These instruments measure the
level of intellectual ability, flexibility and creativity, by addressing the many
dimensions of the intellect through the use of very diversified methods of assessment
that range from symbol recognition and interpretation to facial expression relations,
words and numbers "games" and stick figures, sketches and pictures manipulation.  Many
of these instruments have several things in common in-so-far as they are all fun,
interesting and very short.  Please call if you are interested one of these 230 or so
tests.  The price listed is for each set. STNTC     On Demand Sampler Set    $40.00
