Comparison of the Kaufman Brief Intelligence test and the Matrix Analogies Test - Short Form in an adolescent forensic population
Article Abstract:
There is a need to identify people with intellectual disabilities in the criminal justice system so that they have support and protection before, during and after trials. Two potential screening tools for intellectual disability have been evaluated using a sample of 126 individuals aged under 18-years-old from Australian juvenile justice centers. The proportion of the sample falling into the bottom 3% of the general population was 20% with the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test, and 35% with the Matrix Analogies Test.

A comparison of two screening tests (the Matrix Analogies Test-Short Form and the Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test) with the WISC-III
Article Abstract:
A study of the utility of the Matrix Analogies Test-Short Form and the Kaufman Brief Intelligence revealed that the concurrent validity of both tests had major correlations with that of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition. This reveals the potential versatility of both tests in screening intellectual abilities of individuals, especially children.

Establishing covariance continuity between the WISC-R and the WISC-III
Article Abstract:
Usage of the EQS Structural Equations Program was of utility in illustrating significant likeness in covariations among the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Third Edition. However, chi-square tests revealed major differences between the covariation matrices for 10-and 16-year-olds.
