Intelligence is a complex and multifaceted construct that has been studied
and debated by psychologists and researchers for centuries. According to
Sternberg (2004), intelligence refers to the cognitive abilities that enable
individuals to process information, learn, reason, and adapt to their
environment. Gardner's Multiple Intelligences Theory (1983) proposes that
there are multiple types of intelligence, including linguistic, logical-
mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetics, musical, interpersonal,
intrapersonal, and naturalistic intelligence. Sternberg's Triarchic Theory of
Intelligence (1985) suggests that intelligence consists of three
components: analytical, creative, and practical intelligence. Binet's Theory
of Intelligence (1905) focused on verbal and non-verbal abilities, and
introduced the concept of IQ (intelligence quotient). Intelligence can be
measured through various means, including IQ tests, achievement tests,
and neuropsychological assessments (Horn, 1985). Emotional intelligence,
which refers to the ability to recognise and regulate emotions in oneself
and others, is also an important aspect of intelligence (Goleman, 1995).
Theories of intelligence have evolved over time, from the early work of
Binet and Simon (1916) to the more recent triarchic theory of Sternberg
(1985). Each theory has contributed to our understanding of intelligence
and its various components. For example, Gardner's theory of multiple
intelligences highlights the importance of considering different types of
intelligence, such as spatial and musical intelligence, in addition to

traditional verbal and mathematical abilities. Similarly, Sternberg's
triarchic theory emphasises the importance of practical intelligence, which
involves the ability to apply knowledge and skills in real-world situations.
In addition to theoretical perspectives, research on intelligence has also
focused on the development and use of intelligence tests. These tests are
designed to measure various aspects of cognitive ability, such as verbal
comprehension, spatial reasoning, and working memory (Horn, 1985).
Intelligence tests have been widely used in educational and employment
settings to assess individual differences in cognitive ability (Anastasi,
1988). However, the use of intelligence tests has also been the subject of
controversy and debate, with some critics arguing that the tests are
culturally biased (Helms, 1992) or that they do not provide a
comprehensive picture of an individual's cognitive abilities (Gardner,
1983).
The Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) theory is a widely accepted framework for
understanding human intelligence. According to this theory, intelligence
consists of a hierarchy of cognitive abilities, ranging from narrow, specific
abilities to broad, general abilities (McGrew, 2009). The theory proposes
that there are 10 broad cognitive abilities, including fluid intelligence,
crystallised intelligence, and general memory and learning (Carroll, 1993).
The Structure of Intellect (SOI) model, developed by J.P. Guilford, is
another influential theory of intelligence. According to this model,
intelligence consists of 120 different cognitive abilities, organised into five

categories: operations, content, products, memory, and evaluation
(Guilford, 1967).
The Binet-Kamat Test of Intelligence is a widely used intelligence test that
was developed by Alfred Binet and Sakharam Kamat. The test is designed
to measure verbal and non-verbal abilities in children and adults, and is
widely used in educational and clinical settings (Binet & Kamat, 1916).
Language and linguistic intelligence are critical components of human
cognition. According to Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences,
linguistic intelligence is one of the nine distinct types of intelligence
(Gardner, 1983). Linguistic intelligence involves the ability to use
language effectively, including reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
Reliability and Validity
Aim
To assess the intelligence of the participant using Binet Kamath test of
intelligence
Method
Participant details
Name: SA
Age: 6 years old
Gender: Male
Education:UKG student
Materials required
•Manual for Binet-Kamath test of intelligence
• Binet - Kamath test of intelligence Kit
•Stop watch
•writing materials - paper and pencil
Procedure
The subject was seated comfortably in a distraction free room and having proper
light and verification. gave brief idea about the assessment test and ensured the
confidentiality and rapport was established. Detailed instructions for each subtest
was gives as per the BKT manual. According to the age level of the participant test
of previous level is administered. The test like repetition of Digits and repetition of
syllable was presented once.
The standard procedure at BKT was followed which is to begin the test at a level
slightly below the subject's age. If the individual fails the test within the
year level first administered, then the next lower level is given. This
procedure is continued until a level is reached at which all tests are
passed. This level is known as the "Basal Age." If testing is failed at this
age, it is known as the "Testing Age" or the age at which the test is
established.
Scoring
The BKT (Binet-Kamat Test) items are scored on an all-or-none basis. For
each test, the minimal performance that constitutes passing is specified in
the test manual. Computing Basal Age involves identifying the highest age
level below which all the test items are passed. Conversely, the Testing
Age is the age at which all items are failed.
Final IQ = 100 + (Conversion to SD scale)
Conversion to 15 SD scale: IQ from BKT–Mean of BKT(100)x
15(SD of WAIS)
IQ = (18.1 / SD of BKT) x (IQ - 100) * 15
18.7(SD of BKT)
Example calculation:
IQ = (18.7 / 2) = ?
