(KBIT-2) Kaufman Brief Intelligence Test
Alan S. Kaufman I Nadeen L. Kaufman
The KBIT-2 is a brief, individually administered measure of verbal and nonverbal cognitive ability that can screen for gifted students, get a quick estimate of intelligence in institutional settings (such as prisons, group homes, rehabilitation centers, and mental health clinics), and reevaluate individuals previously given a comprehensive IQ test.

Key Features:
• The KBIT-2 presents attractive, high-quality testing materials at a reasonable cost, with full color items specially designed to appeal to children and reluctant examinees.
• Norming procedures and item selection reflect a strong commitment to cultural fairness.
• The improved Verbal Scale includes receptive and expressive vocabulary items that do not require reading or spelling.
• Scores are provided on a familiar scale (M = 100 and the SD= 15).

Scales:
KBIT-2 measures two distinct cognitive abilities through two scales-Crystallized and Fluid. The Crystallized (Verbal) Scale contains two item types: Verbal Knowledge and Riddles. Items cover both receptive and expressive vocabulary, and they do not require reading or spelling. The Nonverbal Scale is a Matrices subtest that assesses fluid thinking--the ability to solve new problems by perceiving relationships and completing analogies. Because items contain pictures and abstract designs rather than words, you can assess nonverbal ability even when language skills are limited.
Ages: 4 through 90 years
Administration: Individual; 20 minutes
