[senco-forum] Naglieri or Raven's?

The Naglieri is also easier to score than the Ravens, in my opinion.

On Martin Turner's advice we use the Naglieri, coupled with the British
Picture Vocabulary Scales.  When independent Educational Psychologists
subsequently test children we have tested the scores generally agree with
ours.  Our on staff psychologist ran a check on our past records to check
this before she agreed the tests were useful.  Where there have been
significant differences it has been in the area of spatial intelligence,
which is not covered by either the BPVS or the Naglieri.

We have not used the Ravens so cannot comment.
