More Information

• A Rich Diagnostic Instrument:
  - S-BIT provides both norm-referenced and criterion-referenced scores for IQ, Fluid Reasoning and academically important subtests
  - A in about 15 minutes
  - Caled-scores for each sub-test identify specific strengths and weaknesses
  - Prcentile and age equivalent scores are also provided for easy understanding
• Measures Fluid Intelligence:
  - S-BIT emphasizes fluid intelligence, the truest measure of a persons innate intelligence, since it is not significantly influenced by the level and quality of an individuals educational, social and family experience
• Exceptional Assessment Range:
  - S-BIT measures well beyond the I.Q. range of other tests
  - 30 to 170, exceeding that of TONI-3, K-BIT and WISCI-III.Highly Correlated With Traditional Intelligence TestsS-BIT correlates 0.85 with WISC-III Full Scale I.Q. and 0.94 with the Leiter-R
• Norm-Referenced Scores Plus Criterion-Referenced Growth Scores:
  - Criterion referenced scores measure a child;s ability, independent of their chronological age. The unique growth scores enable educators, for the first time, to chart incremental improvement over time
  - Subtest growth scores provide valuable diagnostic clues to aid educators
  - Both item and ability scores have been scaled based upon rasch item-Response Theory scaling. This provides meaningful information about the childs abilities, rather than focusing on deficits
  - Progress can be charted in a manner that is meaningful to professionals and parents
• No Cultural or Language Bias:
  - Psychometric studies on Native Americans, Hispanic, and African American groups show the S-BIT to be fair for all cultural and ethnic backgrounds
  - Development and Normative Information:
  - S-Bit was standardized on 984 typical and 562 atypical individuals, ages 6 to 0 to 20 to 11, using a national stratification plan based on the 1993 census statistics
  - Nationally representative proportions of individuals who are Caucasian (non-Hispanic), Hispanic-American, African-American, Asian-American and Native-American were included
  - The standardization was carefully constructed to accurately represent the individuals age, gender and sociao-economic status
