Classification on the basis of Administration

Individual Intelligence Test : Test given one on one by a certified

evaluator, most commonly used for educational placement

decisions. Like- Koh’s Block Test, Pass Along Test

Group Intelligence Test : Given to a large group or whole class,

Administrated by teacher s as a screening process to determine

who differs from the average and a closer look or individual test.

Like- Army Alpha Test, Army Beta Test

Classification on the basis of Posts

Verbal Intelligence Test

Non- Verbal Intelligence Test

Performance Intelligence Test

Non- Language Intelligence Test

Chandra Mohan Bhatia, former director of Uttar Pradesh Mano Vigyanshala

Constructed this test for Indian Population in 1955.

Five Sub –Tests:

Koh’s Block Design

Alexander Pass a Long

Pattern Drawing Test

Immediate Memory Test

Picture Construction Test

Standardization of 05 subtests was done for over 4 years in village & cities

in place of cross cultural settings.

Split Half Reliability: .55

Validity: .77

Correlation with other intelligence tests is: .67-.82

Total Maximum time: 1 hour.

Total Maximum score: 95

Koh’s Block Design Test- 10 types of tests out of the Koh’s Block Design Test have

been included in the battery. There is one card on every subject upon which is

depicted a colour design. The Subject or the examinee see design and makes a

similar one out of the block as shown the figure below. These designs become

correspondingly more a more complex, having been simple at the start.

Alexander Pass Along Test- The Bhatia battery also includes Alexander Pass Along

Test , there are some designs. The subject shifts coloured pieces in an open box and

places them similar design.

Pattern Drawing Test- This test has been developed by Dr. Bhatia himself. In this

there are eight cards on each of which there is a particular form. The subject draw

particular figure of pattern after seeing this form.

Immediate Memory Test- Some digits are recited, which are immediately

repeated by the subject. This activity throes some light on the immediate

memory of the subject.

Picture Construction Test- In this sub-test, there are five subjects, in which

pictures relating to the Indian rural life are fragmented into 2, 4, 6, 8 and 12

pieces respectively. At one time, Pieces of a picture are placed before the

subject who puts them in order and constructs the picture.

Pass-A-Long Test

There are eight patterns

Increasing difficulty from 1st to 8th

Without repeating lines and without lifting pencil

Stop the test when failure has been recorded twice in succession.

Maximum 2 minutes for each 4 patterns & 3 minutes for patterns no. 5-8

Pattern-Drawing Test

I will same thing.

Listen attentively.

Repeat it after I have finished.

We start with Two letters & last go to 9 letters.

We have Three alternative sets. If failure is recorded in the first set, try the

second and third alternative sets.

If failure is recorded in all the three alternatives a final failure is recorded and

we stop.

Note:- In case of failure, record not only failure

but the number of pieces the subject was able to

fit in correctly with in the time limit.

Stop the test when failure has been recorded

twice in succession.

Intelligence Quotient- Intelligence is the capacity to understand the world,

thinking rationally and use Resources effectively when faced with

challenges. Stern created the concept of IQ.

Mental Age- The age of children who averaged a certain score on intelligence

tests assigned to the test take based on their achieved score to assess if

they are performing at the same level as their peers.

Chronological Age- Actual Age
