Abstract
It would seem virtually axiomatic that the aim of psychological inquiry as it relates to the assessment of children is to produce a system for this purpose that is objective and consensually validatable. Whether such a system need be quantitative is a moot point. Certainly, there are many who would argue that a qualitative approach to assessment can be at least as objective and as open to consensual validation as are any quantitative approaches (e.g., Luria & Majovski, 1977).
