Description: Raven’s APM measures high-level observation skills, clear thinking ability, and intellectual capacity as a non-verbal estimate of abstract reasoning or fluid intelligence. This untimed test is designed to differentiate between people at the high end of intellectual ability with more difficult items that fall within the top 20% of the population. When administered under timed conditions, the APM can also be used to assess intellectual efficiency – quick and accurate high-level intellectual work. The nonverbal aspect of the test minimizes the impact of cultural or language bias. The Raven’s APM produces a single raw score as well as percentile rank to indicate the educative ability or the ability to make sense of complex situations, compared to a norm group. As a versatile test, it can be used in a variety of settings, such as testing culturally diverse populations where English proficiency varies, identifying giftedness, predicting educational success and a variety of research applications with high-ability children and adults.
