"This monograph is the report of an attempt to derive one or more scales for the measurement of ability along certain lines closely related to language. No attempt has been made to define 'language' in any strict sense, and it is entirely possible that some persons may be able to speak the English language and perhaps to write it fairly well without being able to make a very high score on these scales. It may also happen that some individuals will be found who score well on these language scales and are yet unable to quote a single rule of English grammar. On the whole, however, it will be found that ability to complete these sentences successfully is very closely related to what is usually called 'language ability'."--Introduction.
