Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Vocabulary Studies, Vol. 1
An idea is represented by a word; a group or com bination of ideas is represented by a group or com bination of words. The larger a man's vocabulary, the greater the number of his specific ideas. He who has an immense vocabulary not only has a great number of specific ideas, but also has the possibili ties of an enormous number of combinations of words - that is, combinations of ideas. Similarly, for him who has a small vocabulary the number of possible combinations of ideas is reduced to a mini mum. This faculty for the combination or group ing of ideas may be called general intelligence. Clearly, the vocabulary furnishes us the best basis for the measurement of general intelligence.
