Abstract
While the Fourth Edition of the Stanford-Binet represents many technical advances over the earlier instruments, it is argued that the new test offers an unnecessarily complex means of addressing typical referral questions. Regardless of the sophistication of theory and structure, modern measures of intelligence lack treatment utility and, thus, fail to address the desired outcomes of psychoeducational assessment — potential intervention strategies. The Binet-IV and its contemporaries probably will contribute more to research than to the daily assessment practices of school psychologists.Keywords
