Article: [senco-forum] Naglieri or Raven's?

Hi Lindsay,

I am not sure what age group you wish to test. A number of years ago I 
used the Raven Standard Matrices with Secondary School children until I 
discovered that in my copy (1992 edition)  there is a gap in the norms 
tables between the ages of 15 yrs 8 mths and 18 yrs. I do not know if  
the test has been updated, but a couple of weeks ago I phoned the 
publishers and asked  them whether there is still a gap in the 
standardisation and I was told there was. I have not used the Naglieri 
Nonverbal Ability Test myself, but I replaced the Raven's with the 
Matrix Analogies Test (MAT) which is by Naglieri and it worked well.

Regards,
Janet
