Davidson (1995) proposed a multiaxial model of cognitive assessment that could be used to assess indigenous Australians. In this comment, I do not question whether Davidson's model might be an effective way of gaining important information about a person's cognitive functioning, but I do question the appropriateness and the necessity of developing an assessment model specifically for indigenous Australians. I argue that such a racially specific approach to assessment is based on inappropriate racial stereotyping, a confounding of cultural (categorical) variables with individual differences (continuous) variables, and a misrepresentation of evidence on cultural bias in cognitive abilities tests. In the context of a multicultural society, it is essential to recognise that psychological inferences about an individual must be based on an assessment process that is designed to gain knowledge of the individual as an individual. |
