Reseña del libro "The Abilities of Man: Their Nature and Measurement (en Inglés)"
The Abilities of Man: Their Nature and Measurement is a book written by Charles Spearman, a British psychologist, in which he discusses the nature of human abilities and how they can be measured. The book is divided into two parts: the first part deals with the nature of abilities, while the second part focuses on their measurement.In the first part, Spearman discusses the different types of abilities that humans possess, such as intelligence, memory, and perception. He argues that these abilities are not independent of each other, but are instead interconnected and interdependent. He also discusses the role that genetics and environment play in the development of these abilities.In the second part of the book, Spearman discusses the methods used to measure human abilities, such as intelligence tests and personality assessments. He also discusses the limitations of these methods and the potential for errors in their administration.Overall, The Abilities of Man: Their Nature and Measurement is a comprehensive and insightful exploration of the nature of human abilities and the methods used to measure them. It is a valuable resource for psychologists, educators, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of human cognition.This is a new release of the original 1927 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
