Historical Perspectives: Guy M. Whipple
Jennifer L. Jolly
Guy M. Whipple, a psychologist, best known for his work in mental testing, is rarely if ever mentioned in contemporary circles when discussing gifted education. Whipple’s interests were varied and wide and included gifted education, mental testing, reading instruction, and vocational education (Bagley, 1942). Whipple’s 1910 seminal two-volume Manual of Mental and Physical Tests stood as the exclusive reference of psychological testers for nearly 20 years (Evans, 2004). Whipple also served with Lewis M. Terman as a member of the American Psychological Association’s Committee on the Psychological Examination of Recruits, which developed the Army Alpha and Beta for use during World War I (Lagemann, 2000).
