Study Notes
Verbal Comprehension Index
- The Comprehension subtest assesses a child's ability to identify a common concept being described by a series of clues.
- The Vocabulary subtest assesses a child's crystalized intelligence by having them define a provided word based on name pictures.
Perceptual Reasoning Index
- The Block Design subtest assesses a child's visual processing by having them recreate a design using red-and-white blocks within a specified time limit.
Fluid Intelligence
- The Arithmetic subtest assesses fluid intelligence and requires the child to solve verbal arithmetic problems within a specified time limit without paper and pencil.
Short Term Memory
- The Digit Span subtest assesses short-term memory and requires the child to recall a series of numbers in ascending or descending order.
Response Style Index
- The Defensiveness index measures the extent to which a respondent is trying to present themselves in a favorable light.
Sten Scores
- A sten score of 5-6 suggests that an individual's performance is average, close to the mean of the normative group.
- When interpreting sten scores, consider the individual's performance in relation to the normative group, and that sten scores are not direct measures of ability or intelligence.
Infrequency Index
- High scores on the Infrequency index suggest that a person is randomizing their responses, or not taking the test seriously, which can affect the validity of the results.
16PF Results
- The 16PF results should not be used in isolation, as they should be considered in conjunction with other assessment results and clinical observations to form a comprehensive understanding of the individual.
