Editorial Reviews

Review

"Adrian Wooldridge's insightful and detailed, and sympathetic, account is an important addition to the literature. This is a book that I really enjoyed reading." Canadian Journal of History

"Measuring the Mind fills an important gap in the literature by treating educational psychology, not as a self-contained specialism, but as part of the social history of ideas....This topic was ripe for thorough treatment, and Wooldridge executes the task with distinction, marshalling his extensive material with skill and telling the story with verve." Robert B. Joynson, Times Literary Supplement

"This is a book that actually delivers rather more than it promises....it says as much about the opponents of educational psychology as the psychometricians themselves." Geoffrey Sherington, Albion

"One of the many strengths of this excellent book is the way it deftly merges the history of a profession -- educational psychology -- with the social, political, and cultural transformation of England from the late Victorian years to the present....Wooldridge has written an engaging, richly rewarding, fair-minded book that is as valuable to social and intellectual historians as it is to historians of education." American Historical Review

"...I enjoyed reading this book and learned much from it." Roy Lowe, History of Education Quarterly

"Measuring the Mind enlightens because it reveals some of the complex links between the emergence of psychometrics as a profession, theories about intellectual development, and, most importantly, the influence of psychometric theories upon the formulation of educational policy in England during this century." Joel Michell, Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences

Book Description

This book describes the history of educational psychology from 1860 to 1990, focusing on a group of psychologists who dominated educational policy-making.
