| Abstract: | The article presents a new approach to the psychological assessment of intellectual abilities, which is based on the new theory of human intelligence. The main shortcomings of conventional intelligence tests are briefly discussed. The nine methodological and procedural principles, which form this approach, are considered along with the examples of new intelligence tests. According to these principles, new intelligence tests should examine psychological mental context generated by an individual himself or herself. They should also have an “open character”, evaluate the basis of intelligence, and allow both retrospective and prospective assessment. New tests of intellectual abilities should not evaluate psychological functions (e.g., memory or attention) and mental speed, and they should not be very long and time-consuming. Cognitive styles and metacognitive abilities should also be assessed by new intelligence tests. |
