• The Stanford–Binet Intelligence Scales (or more commonly the Stanford–
Binet) is an individually administered intelligence test that was revised from the
original Binet–Simon Scale by Lewis M. Terman, a psychologist at Stanford
University. The Stanford–Binet Intelligence Scale is now in its fifth edition
(SB5) and was released in 2003. It is a cognitive ability and intelligence test that
is used to diagnose developmental or intellectual deficiencies in young
children. The test measures five weighted factors and consists of both verbal
and nonverbal subtests. The five factors being tested are knowledge,
quantitative reasoning, visual-spatial processing, working memory, and fluid
reasoning.
1. STANFORD BINET INTELLIGENCE SCALE

• Reproduction of an item from the 1908
Binet–Simon intelligence scale, that shows
three pairs of pictures, and asks the tested
child, "Which of these two faces is the
prettier?" Reproduced from the article "A
Practical Guide for Administering the
Binet-Simon Scale for Measuring
Intelligence" by J. W. Wallace Wallin in the
March 1911 issue of the journal The
Psychological Clinic (volume 5 number 1),
public domain

IQ = Mental age /
Chronological age X 100

• IQ Range ("deviation IQ") IQ Classification
• 145–160 Very gifted or highly advanced
• 130–144 Gifted or very advanced
• 120–129 Superior
• 110–119 High average
• 90–109 Average
• 80–89 Low average
• 70–79 Borderline impaired or delayed
• 55–69 Mildly impaired or delayed

SCORE

• The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) is an IQ test
designed to measure intelligence and cognitive ability in adults
and older adolescents.[1] The original WAIS (Form I) was
published in February 1955 by David Wechsler, as a revision of
the Wechsler–Bellevue Intelligence Scale, released in 1939.[2] It
is currently in its fourth edition (WAIS-IV) released in 2008 by
Pearson, and is the most widely used IQ test, for both adults
and older adolescents, in the world.

• The Kohs Block test, also known as the Kohs Block
Design Test, is a performance test designed to be an IQ
test. The test taker must, using 16 colored cubes,
replicate the patterns displayed on a series of test cards.
The design of the test was motivated by a belief that the
test could easily be administered to persons with
language or hearing disabilities.
4 . KOHS BLOCK

• Leiter International Performance Scale or simply
Leiter scale is an intelligence test in the form of a
strict performance scale. It was designed for
children and adolescents ages 2 to 18, although it
can yield an intelligence quotient (IQ) and a
measure of logical ability for all ages.
4 . Leiter International Performance Scale

1. Fluid Intelligence
2. Visualization
3. Memory
4. Attention
The Leiter contains 10 subtests
organized into four domains :

• The Miller Analogies Test (MAT) is a standardized test used
both for graduate school admissions in the United States and
entrance to high I.Q. societies. Created and still published by
Harcourt Assessment (now a division of Pearson Education),
the MAT consists of 120 questions in 60 minutes (formerly 100
questions in 50 minutes). Unlike other graduate school
admissions exams such as the GRE, the Miller Analogies Test is
verbal or computer based.
5 . MILLER ANALOGIES

The test aims to measure an individual's logical and
analytical reasoning through the use of partial
analogies. A sample test question may be as follows :
• a. Painting
• b. Composing
• c. Writing
• d. Orating

Certain applications are also available.

• The Otis-Lennon is a group-administered (except
preschool), multiple choice, taken with pencil and paper,
measures verbal, quantitative, and spatial reasoning
ability. The test yields verbal and nonverbal scores, from
which a total score is derived, called a School Ability
Index (SAI). The SAI is a normalized standard score
with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 16. With
the exception of pre-K, the test is administered in
groups.
7. OTIS LENNON SCHOOL ABILITY TEST

• The OLSAT® is not a school ability test, a cognitive
ability test or an IQ test. Your child's OLSAT® test score
will give you an idea of how smart they are but it isn't an
IQ score.
• Otis–Lennon School Ability Test. ... The test yields
verbal and nonverbal scores, from which a total score is
derived, called a School Ability Index (SAI). The SAI is a
normalized standard score with a mean of 100 and a
standard deviation of 16. With the exception of pre-K,
the test is administered in groups.

• Raven's Progressive Matrices (often referred to simply as Raven's
Matrices) or RPM is a nonverbal group test typically used in educational
settings. It is usually a 60-item test used in measuring abstract reasoning
and regarded as a non-verbal estimate of fluid intelligence.It is the most
common and popular test administered to groups ranging from 5-year-olds
to the elderly.It is made of 60 multiple choice questions, listed in order of
difficulty.This format is designed to measure the test taker's reasoning
ability, the eductive ("meaning-making") component of Spearman's g (g is
often referred to as general intelligence). The tests were originally
developed by John C. Raven in 1936. In each test item, the subject is
asked to identify the missing element that completes a pattern. Many
patterns are presented in the form of a 6×6, 4×4, 3×3, or 2×2 matrix, giving
the test its name.
8. RAVEN’S PROGRESSIVE MATRICES

The Matrices are available in three different forms for participants of different ability:
• Standard Progressive Matrices: These were the original form of the matrices, first published in
1938. The booklet comprises five sets (A to E) of 12 items each (e.g., A1 through A12), with
items within a set becoming increasingly difficult, requiring ever greater cognitive capacity to
encode and analyze information. All items are presented in black ink on a white background.
• Colored Progressive Matrices: Designed for children aged 5 through 11 years-of-age, the
elderly, and mentally and physically impaired individuals. This test contains sets A and B from
the standard matrices, with a further set of 12 items inserted between the two, as set Ab. Most
items are presented on a colored background to make the test visually stimulating for
participants. However the very last few items in set B are presented as black-on-white; in this
way, if a subject exceeds the tester's expectations, transition to sets C, D, and E of the
standard matrices is eased.
• Advanced Progressive Matrices: The advanced form of the matrices contains 48 items,
presented as one set of 12 (set I), and another of 36 (set II). Items are again presented in
black ink on a white background, and become increasingly difficult as progress is made
through each set. These items are appropriate for adults and adolescents of above-average
intelligence.
Versions :

• The Turing test, developed by Alan Turing in 1950, is a test of a
machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or
indistinguishable from that of a human.
• A Turing Test is a method of inquiry in artificial intelligence (AI)
for determining whether or not a computer is capable of thinking
like a human being. The test is named after Alan Turing, the
founder of the Turning Test and an English computer scientist,
cryptanalyst, mathematician and theoretical biologist.
9. TURING TEST

• An aptitude test is a systematic means of testing
a job candidate's abilities to perform specific
tasks and react to a range of different situations.
Aptitude is not based on previous learning . The
tests each have a standardized method of
administration and scoring, with the results
quantified and compared with all other test
takers.

• The Differential Ability Scales (DAS) is a nationally
normed (in the US), and individually administered
battery of cognitive and achievement tests.
Currently into its second edition (DAS-II), the test
can be administered to children ages 2 years 6
months to 17 years 11 months across a range of
developmental levels.
DAT

• Core Cognitive Tests Diagnostic Tests
• Pattern construction Recall of designs
• Word definitions Recognition of pictures
• Similarities Recall of objects
• Matrices Speed of information processing
• Sequential & quantitative reasoning
• Recall of design
DAT for Guidance has been specifically designed for convenience and
simplicity of use. Its high quality format provides for easy administration and
enables results to be interpreted quickly and with confidence.
Test Structure :

• The General Aptitude Test Battery, also
known as the GATB, is a professional career
aptitude test which measures nine different
aptitudes and can be used to help assess the
likelihood that you will be successful in
specific careers or training programs.
GATB

• G - General Learning Ability
• V - Verbal Aptitude
• N - Numerical Aptitude
• S - Spatial Aptitude
• P - Form Perception
• Q - Clerical Perception
