 “Intelligence is sometime described as the ability to learn quickly and

to retain learning .”
Haber and Fried 1975

 Intelligence is the capacity to understand the world, thinking rationally

and use Resources effectively when faced with challenges.”
Feldman (Known)
 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.

Note:- Block have not to be lifted, but may only be moved.
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.
 Sub Tests Parts Time (In Minutes)
1 2 2
2 4 2
3 6 2
4 8 3
5 12 3
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
Picture Construction Test
140-169 Very Superior
120-139 Superior
110-119 High Average
90-109 Normal or Average
80-89 Low Average
70-79 Borderline Defective
50-69 Moron
25-49 Imbecile
0-24 Idiot
