Intelligence Testing Power Point

The Stanford-Binet 5th edition is the most current version of an intelligence test used by psychologists. It assesses fluid reasoning, knowledge, quantitative reasoning, visual-spatial reasoning, and working memory through verbal and nonverbal questions. The test skips between different question types to best evaluate each individual's unique cognitive abilities, strengths, and weaknesses. Scores are interpreted based on age-level groupings, with average being 100 and below 70 considered mentally retarded. The Stanford-Binet has a history of predicting school achievement and is still used today, though its relevance in the Caribbean is also considered.

INTELLIGENCE

TESTING
(STANFORD BINET 5 EDITION)

Presented By: Dawnetta Bennett-Bissick


INTRODUCTION
Stanford Binet 5th edition is the most current version of the intelligence test. In this

test both the psychologist and the client would have a board, for the psychologist,

his/her board will have instruction of the test and how it should be administered.
History and Development of the testing
The Stanford Binet intelligent Scale was first developed in 1905 by the French

Psychologist Alfred Binet and his collaborator Theodore Simon, to test the attention,

memory and verbal skills of school children in order to measure their intelligence.
Purpose and use
The Stanford-Binet is a traditional intelligence test

designed to assess your child’s IQ or intelligence quotient.


Construction and content (with samples)
Fluid reasoning
Knowledge
Quantitative  reasoning
Visual-spatial reasoning
 Working memory
Administration
While the Stanford-Binet test includes both verbal and

nonverbal sections, the exam skips around through

different questions instead of grouping them together by

subtest type in order to best assess each child’s unique

cognitive abilities, strengths and weaknesses.


Understanding the Strengths and
Weaknesses of Intelligence and
Achievement Tests

((Jack Naglieri, Sam Goldstein)


It is important that study and measurement of

human intelligence and academic achievement

recognize the relevance of the brain.


Norms and Standardization
Each of the above listed factors includes separate

subtests that are grouped into one of two domains.

These two domains were developed to provide a balance

between tasks that involve language skills and tasks that

ae less verbally dependent.


Scoring and Interpretation
Standard-Binet Intelligence Scale is for children and

adolescents. This Stanford-Binet Scale is constructed as

an age scale; the items of the scale are grouped into age

levels. Items, such as “compares 2 lines” (age 4),

“repeats a sentence of 10 syllables” (age 5), and

“compares 2 objects from memory” (age 8),


Cont’d

are included in the tests when the percentages of

correct answers are lower for each successive age

level. The average score is 100. People scoring

below 70 are consider to have mental retardation.


Reliability and validity
The Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale has a history of

successful usage as the psychometric instrument for the

assessment of cognitive ability. Early versions of the

instrument were concerned primarily with the prediction

of school achievement and academic learning on the

basis of an overall IQ score.


Evaluation of the Test
(including the relevance in the Caribbean)
The program is currently guided by the Caribbean Strategy

approved by the Minister in October 2009, and the Caribbean

Development Programming Framework 2010-2015. The

program’s objective is to contribute to a more prosperous and

integrated Caribbean Community able to generate sustainable

economic growth, providing opportunity and security to its

citizens.
