Abstract

Abstract: The present paper draws on the specific results of a vocational guidance battery of tests which are relevant to a newly created test of Block Design. This study involved 366 pupils at secondary school and high school levels (average mean of age was 16.1 years old, SD 1.80) and reveals information on the intrinsic psychometric qualities of the new Block Design Test. In addition, it offers insight into the specific aspects of the test that come as a result of its inter-relationship with other tests of the battery of intelligence used.
