The document summarizes the administration of the Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) test to assess the intelligence of a participant. It provides details about the participant, the SPM test which involves selecting missing patterns in geometric designs, the testing procedure, instructions given, and scoring methodology. The interpretation indicates that the participant's percentile rank was at the 50th percentile, within the average intelligence range of 90-109 IQ, suggesting they have average intelligence compared to others based on the SPM test results.

METHODOLOGY

- Description of the Test

Standard Progressive Matrix (SPM) is a widely used set of intelligence tests,


including multiple-choice analogy questions. It is an intelligence test. It is designed
to measure levels of both intellectual development and logical thinking. With that
help, we can determine the IQ of a 14–65-year-old, regardless of nationality,
religion, or other differences. This test was published by John Raven in 1936. The
test consists of 60 items and is placed in 5 sets (A, B, C, D, E) of 12 items each.
There are 6 (sets A and B) or 8 (sets C to E) alternating pieces to complete the figure.
Only one of them is correct.

The participant must select the correct missing number from the answer options
given. Each test is divided into several task groups, and the "progressive" nature of
the test arises from the gradual increase in the difficulty of intra-sentence and inter-
sentence problems. Each series contains tasks that increase in difficulty. In this way,
we will be able to measure level of intellectual development of the participant.
- Procedure

The participant was seated comfortably. Rapport was established. The details of the
subject were recorded. It was ensured that the participant nis comfortable and has
free time (30-45 mins) to complete the test. The participant was briefed about the
intelligence test and was encouraged to ask questions if any. After that the
instructions for the test were given.

- Instructions

The following instructions were given to the subject:

"A Standard’s Progressive Matrices Test is a test designed to measure your non-
verbal, abstract and cognitive functioning. In the test, you will be presented with
geometric designs, with one piece missing. Your job is to choose the right diagram,
from a set of given answers, that completes a pattern in the matrix that you have to
figure out. The questions and answers are all completely non-verbal. The test
consists of 60 items (5 series). Each series contains tasks of increasing difficulty.
There is no time limit."

- Scoring

The total score is the total number of matrices completed correctly. The Standard’s
Progressive Matrices (SPM), thus, produces a single raw score that can be converted
to a percentile based a normative data collected from various groups.
INTERPRETATION
According to American Psychological Association “intelligence is the ability to
derive information, learn from experience, adapt to the environment, understand,
and correctly utilize thought and reason.”

The Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) is a group or individually administered


test that nonverbally assesses intelligence in children and adults through abstract
reasoning tasks. The purpose of SPM is to measure an individual's ability to perceive
and think clearly, make meaning out of confusion, and formulate new concepts when
faced with novel information.

In the present study, data was collected from the participant and from the result table
it is observed that the participant’s percentile rank is 50 which lies between 25 th and
75th percentile and falls under Grade III. Therefore, the score indicates the participant
has average intelligence.

Average intelligence shows that the participant intelligence falls under IQ range of
90-109. The average IQ score is always 100, and the personal score tells the IQ
ranking compared to that. As 100 is the average score, the score tells the
participant his IQ score ranks.
