Cognitive (Intelligence) Test: nonverbal [C(I)T:nv]

Morrison F. Gardner

Available now is a nonverbal Cognitive (Intelligence) Test (C(I)T:nv) that assesses a child's nonverbal reasoning abilities by both Discrimination and by Analog Raw scores from each subtest and from the combined subtests are easily converted into standard scores. scaled scores, percentiles. and stanines. Normative data as well as information on reliability and validity are well-documented in the manual. The C(I)T:nv can be administered in 15 to 20 minutes depending on the age of the child and can be scored in 5 to 10 minutes. The test was designed for children ages 4 years to 15 years. The C(I)T:nv can be administered by the following professionals: psychologists, occupational therapists, teachers, speech and language pathologists, optometrists, resource specialists, counselors, learning specialists, and other professionals.
The C(I)T:nv measures nonverbal reasoning of children who have poor or impaired linguistic skills, children who are of any culture, children who have impaired speech, children who have impaired hearing, children who come from a non-stimulating home environment, children who are physically and/or motor impaired, and children who have impaired visual perception and/or sight (vision).

Comprehensive Test of Nonverbal Intelligence [CTONI]

Donald D. Hammill, Nils A. Pearson, J.Lee Wiederholt

The Comprehensive Test of Nonverbal Intelligence (CTONI) measures nonverbal reasoning abilities of individuals for whom most other mental ability tests are either inappropriate or biased. The CTONI measures analogical reasoning, categorical classification, and sequential reasoning in two different contexts: pictures of familiar objects (e.g. people, toys, and animals) and geometrical designs (e.g., unfamiliar sketches and drawings).
Results of the CTONI are most useful for estimating the intelligence of individuals who experience undue difficulty in language or fine motor skills, including individuals who are bilingual, who speak a language other than English, or who are socioeconomically disadvantaged. deaf, language disordered, motor disabled, or neurologically impaired. No oral responses, reading, writing, or object manipulation are required to take the test.
The subtests of the CTONI require students to look at a group of pictures or designs and to solve problems involving analogies, categorizations, and sequences. Individuals indicate their answer by pointing to alternate choices. The CTONI is easy to administer and score. It can be administered orally to students who speak English or in pantomime to those who speak a language other than English or who are deaf, aphasic or neurologically impaired. The CTONI yields raw scores, standard scores, percentiles. and age equivalents.
The CTONI was standardized on more than 2,000 students, is individually administered in about one hour, and is suitable for students ages 6 to 91.
The reliability of the CTONI has been studied extensively, and evidence relating to content sampling, time sampling, and interscorer reliability is provided. The reliability coefficients are all .80 or greater, indicating a high level of test reliability. Evidence of content, criterion-related, and construct validity also is reported.

Detroit Tests of Learning Aptitude - Primary - Third Edition [DTLA-P:3]

Donald D. Hammill, Brian R. Bryant

The DTLA-P:3 is a quick, easily administered test for measuring the general aptitude of young children. It is particularly useful with low-functioning school-age children ages 3-0 through 9-11. It comprises six subtests, measuring cognitive ability in areas such as language, attention, and motor abilities. Significant improvements include:

Pictures in the easel have been drawn in color to present a more appealing look to children.

Additional instructions have been provided for giving and scoring the digit sequences and design reproduction items.

Interpretation sections have been expanded.

Items have been validated by both exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis.

Administration is on an individual basis and should take 15 to 45 minutes.

Draw-a-Person Intellectual Ability Test for Children [DAP:IQ]

Cecil R. Reynolds, Julia A. Hickman

The Draw-A-Person Intellectual Ability Test for Children, Adolescents, and Adults (DAP:IQ) provides a common set of scoring criteria to estimate intellectual ability from a human figure drawing.
This flexible assessment is for use by psychologists, school counselors, and professionals working with special-needs populations. The DAP:IQ allows you to derive reliable, quantitative ability estimates by using the largest single collection of normative data on this task ever gathered. Psychometric data, including normative reference data, are provided for ages 4 years to 89 years and are based on a total sample of 3,090 individuals across the United States. The validity and utility of this test lie in the scoring system’s emphasis of concepts over artistic skill and motor coordination.
The collection of an HFD is easily standardized with a set of simple, easily understood instructions, and requires a very short period of time to administer, 10 to 12 minutes, individually or to a group.

Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test - Second Edition [K-BIT-2]

Alan S. Kaufman, Nadeen L. Kaufman

A brief, individually administered measure of verbal and nonverbal cognitive ability, the KBIT-2 provides a Crystallized (Verbal) Scale with receptive and expressive vocabulary items that do not require reading or spelling and a Fluid (Nonverbal) Scale as a Matrices subtest. Test items include new full-color items that are specially designed to appeal to children and reluctant examinees, ages 4 years through 90. Administration time is approximately 20 minutes.

Primary Test of Nonverbal Intelligence [PTONI]

David J. Ehrler, Ronnie L. McGhee

The Primary Test of Nonverbal Intelligence (PTONI) is a theoretically sound, research-based method of assessing reasoning abilities in young children, ages 3 years to 10 years. Psychologists, diagnosticians. special educators, speech-language pathologists, and other professionals can use this test to identify both severe intellectual deficits and superior cognitive intelligence; help estimate future school success based on family history, educational background, and personality traits; and study a wide range of researchable topics and issues.

The PTONI was normed on a culturally and ethnically diverse demographic sample. It is unbiased, quick, accurate, and cost-efficient. Testing takes approximately 5 to 15 minutes, on an indiviual basis.

The test format requires the child to look at a series of pictures on each page and point to the one picture that does not belong with the others. Early items measure lower order reasoning (e.g., visual and spatial perception). Later items measure higher reasoning abilities (e.g., analogical thinking, sequential reasoning, and categorical formulation). The child's performance is recorded as a standard score (called the Nonverbal Index), a percentile rank, and an age equivalent.

Slosson Intelligence Test - Revised [SIT-R3]

Richard L. Slosson. Revised by Charles L. Nicholson and Terry L. Hibpshman

This newly revised edition of the Slosson Intelligence Test - Revised (SIT-R3) remains a quick and reliable individual screening test of Crystallized Verbal Intelligence for ages 4 to 65 years. It now has adapted score sheets for scannable/electronic readers and the supplementary manual for the visually impaired and the blind is now inclusive of the SIT-R3 manual.
The new SIT-R3 is a multidimensional assessment tool which can be used for regular education testing populations and also for most special testing populations. The test questions and norms tables have not changed, so SIT-R3 users may continue to administer and score the SIT-R3 with the 1998 Calibrated Norms Tables as usual and just order the supplementary manual when testing these special populations. It is designed for use by teachers, psychologists, guidance counselors, special educators, learning disability instructors, and other responsible persons who often need to evaluate an individual's mental ability. Administer and score on an individual basis within twenty minutes.
Now also inclusive, in the Profiling Kit, item analysis allows teachers to profile for strengths and weakness of students. The new combo kit includes everything educators need to administer the SIT-R3 and then to Profile Student Results into Category Standard Scores or Total Standard Scores (TSS) for: Vocabulary, General Information, Similarities and Differences, Comprehension, Quantitative, and Auditory Memory.

Test of Nonverbal Intelligence - Third Edition [TONI-3]

Linda Brown, Rita J. Sherbenou, Susan K. Johnsen

The Test of Nonverbal Intelligence - Third Edition (TONI-3), a major revision of the popular and well-built Test of Nonverbal lntelligence, is a normed-referenced measure of intelligence, aptitude, abstract reasoning, and problem solving that is completely free of the use of language. The test requires no reading, writing, speaking, or listening on the part of the test subject. It is completely nonverbal and largely motor-free, requiring only a point, nod, or symbolic gesture to indicate response choices.
Each form of the TONI-3 contains 50 items arranged in easy to difficult order. Raw scores are converted to percentile ranks and to deviation quotients with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15 points. The TONI-3 was normed on a large sample of over 3,000 subjects tested in 1995 and 1996. It is quick to score, requiring less than 15 minutes to administer and score; it is appropriate for use with children, adolescents, and older adults ages 6 through 90 years; and it has two equivalent forms suitable for test-retest and pre- and post testing situations.
