title: The Benton test in school counselling diagnostics. An exploratory study.
abstract: The Visual Test is subject to a critical appraisal, according to the standards of psychological tests. Investigating the test results of clients from a school counselling service it is shown that this test does not comply with the requirements of item analysis and reliability; referring to validity this test might be useful to estimate the general intelligence of pupils.
