How many subtests are included in Bhatia’s Battery of Performance Tests of Intelligence?
- A.
5 subtests
- B.
8 subtests
- C.
4 subtests
- D.
7 subtests
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Concept
A test battery is a standardized collection of distinct subtests. Its total is determined by the tests formally included in the battery, not by counting administration steps or scoring components separately.
Bhatia’s Battery combines performance tasks with an immediate-memory task. The full set is used to obtain an overall Intelligence Quotient, while a smaller performance-only subset is used for the Performance Quotient.
Application
The standard battery contains these five subtests:
Kohs’ Block Design Test
Alexander’s Pass-along Test
Pattern Drawing Test
Picture Construction Test
Immediate Memory Test
Cross-check and contrast
4 counts only the performance-test subset used for the Performance Quotient, not the complete battery.
7 results from adding administration or scoring elements that are not separate subtests.
8 likewise overcounts activities or scoring components as if they were distinct subtests.
Therefore, Bhatia’s Battery contains 5 subtests.
