A bio-ecological case study: a Caribbean child.
The present article presents how the bio-ecological assessment system is applied in assessing a child's cognitive intelligence beyond a psychometric intelligence test. The recognition that there are many types of intelligence, such as musical and bodily kinesthetic, is exemplified. The case presented is that of a child with deficient cognitive functioning on the psychometric tests, but advanced functioning on the "Other Intelligence Assessment Measure." Diagnostic impressions are given and implications for report writing and interventions are suggested.
