Most Widely Used and Recognized IQ Tests

Stanford-Binet
	Stanford-Binet is published by Riverside Publishing. Stanford-Binet has been revised several times since 1905. It is now called Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales (SB5), Fifth Edition Ages for the test: between 2 and 85 years of age. The test includes subtests (each test takes 5 minutes to administer, approx.): Items Book 1 (Routing Subtests) Items Book 2 (4 Nonverbal Subtests) Items Book 3 (4 Verbal Subtests) The test measures 5 areas: 1. Fluid Reasoning (includes objects, matrices, verbal absurdities, analogies) 2. Knowledge (Procedural knowledge, picture absurdities, vocabulary) 3. Quantitative Reasoning 4. Visual-Spatial Processing (patterns, position and direction) 5. Working Memory -- ability to compare verbal and nonverbal (delayed response, block span, memory for sentences, last word) How the test works: You start with Book 1 (Routing Subtests). The Book 1 level you start at is determined by your age and/or ability level. There are 6 levels. As you can see by the subtest title "Routing" Subtests, your proficiency on this first test will determine which level you will be "routed" to in Items Book 2 (Nonverbal Subtests) and your proficiency on Book 2 will determine which level you will use in the Items Book 3 (Verbal Subtests). The Book 2 and 3 subtest (8 in all) results are then measured. *You must be qualified to purchase the test by signing a Test Purchaser Qualification Form which asks about specific schooling levels, your major and professional licenses, etc.
