Universal screening of very early school-age children (age 4-7 years) is important for early identification of learning problems that may require enhanced learning opportunity. In this context, use of standardized instruments is critical to obtain valid, reliable, and comparable assessment outcomes. A wide variety of standardized instruments is…

The SIT Correlates highly enough with ACT scores to be considered a valid instrument for predicting acceptance and success in college. (Authors)

Concurrent validity testing of the Slosson Intelligence Test-Revised with the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (Fourth Edition), involving 191 individuals (ages 5-69 and IQs of 36 to 110), found a high correlation between the two scales. However, the Slosson unsatisfactorily matched the Stanford-Binet's assignment of individuals to IQ categories.…

The capability of the Slosson Intelligence Test and the Otis Lennon Mental Ability Test to predict academic achievement as measured by the Stanford Achievement Test is examined. The results indicated that the Slosson and Otis-Lennon significantly predict Stanford Vocabulary, Reading Comprehension, and Mathematical Concepts subtest scores.…

The Slosson Intelligence Test (SIT) and the Stanford-Binet, Fourth Edition (SBIV) were administered to 95 elementary students referred because of either learning problems or potential giftedness. SIT scores predicted SBIV verbal scores more accurately than composite scores. Overall the SIT predicted SBIV scores better for students with learning…

Compared the abilities of the most recent editions of the Henmon-Nelson and the Slosson tests to estimate Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (Revised) scaled scores and intelligence quotients. The Henmon-Nelson's validity coefficients were higher than their counterparts for the Slosson, but the Slosson had a higher ceiling and a lower floor.…

The ability of the Slosson Intelligence Test to predict academic achievement was assessed by using three samples of pre-kindergarten pupils from three successive years in a large midwest school district. Results indicate a moderately good predictive power of the instrument. (Author/JKS)

The SIT is an individual test of intelligence, for both children and adults, requiring no specialized training. (Authors)

The purpose of this study was to replicate and slightly refine and extend the procedures of Houston and Otto, who pointed out the need for studying the relationship between easily administered, individual measures of intelligence with more diagnostic and more highly validated measures. (Author/RK)

The validity of the Slosson Intelligence Test (SIT) relative to the California Short Form Test of Mental Maturity and the Shipley-Institute of Living Scale was investigated on a sample of college students. Results supported the validity of the SIT. (Author/JKS)

Noting the lack of research comparing the Test of Nonverbal Intelligence (TONI) with other measures of intelligence, a study was conducted to ascertain concurrent validity. The TONI was compared to the Slosson Intelligence Test for Children and Adults (SIT) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Revised (WISC-R). Subjects, 43 males and…

The present study examined long-term relationships among the SIT, the Stanford-Binet, L-M (SB) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC). (Author)
