Every professional can profile an individual’s mental ability using this quick, reliable screening measure of cognition for children and adults, including those who are visually impaired or blind. Used widely in schools, institutions, hospitals, and corrections, the SIT-4 yields a Total Standard Score, charts category standard scores, and compares ability to achievement; when GE scores are below expected achievement levels.
Since administration and scoring are measured simultaneously, the test can be given in a brief period of time. The SIT-4 is verbally administered so it does not penalize individuals who are methodical, fearful, or have reading handicaps. Crystallized verbal intelligence has the highest overall correlation to mental ability, and is widely used to assess gifted and talented, as well as abilities of the handicapped/mentally challenged.
Six Verbal Cognitive Domains Tested
1. General Information (GI) the learning of cultural knowledge, much of which is not explicitly or directly taught.
2. Comprehension (CO) the knowledge of social behavior, “common sense” and the ability to interpret sayings and proverbs.
3. Quantitative (QN) the ability to do mental calculations, remember essential numbers and determine the arithmetic process required to calculate the correct answers.
4. Similarities and Differences (SD) the skill in determining common attributes, of two dissimilar things or concepts, and some uncommon attributes.
5. Vocabulary (VO) ability to use, understand and define words orally.
Communication skills are dependent on vocabulary ability.
6. Auditory Memory (AM) the capability to remember and repeat correctly a random series of digits, both forward and backward, as well as several sentences.
