It discusses the nature of intelligence and the problem of special abilities, and includes a study of some typical forms of genius. The second part gives an account of a three years' experimental study of special abilities in arts and science respectively, carried out upon university students. Samples of the tests employed are included. The results are presented in non-technical form. Victoria Hazlitt was a pioneer of experimental psychology, which was particularly significant as a woman in the early twentieth century. In many cases her work anticipated later developments in psychology by many years. Today it can be enjoyed in its historical context.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Psychology Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46931924091031,"sku":"9781848722507","price":10763.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781848722507.webp?v=1771617197","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/ability-a-psychological-study-9781848722507","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
