What are the different types of intelligence tests?

There are several different types of intelligence tests used to assess a person's intellectual abilities and cognitive functioning. One common type is the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale, which measures a wide range of cognitive skills including verbal, nonverbal, and fluid reasoning abilities. The Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) are also widely used assessments that measure various areas of cognitive functioning such as verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed. Another type of intelligence test is the Raven Progressive Matrices, which focuses on nonverbal reasoning and problem-solving skills. Additionally, there are specific tests designed to measure different areas of intelligence, such as the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (KABC) which assesses fluid and crystallized intelligence. These various intelligence tests help psychologists and educators gain insights into an individual's cognitive strengths and weaknesses, enabling them to make informed decisions regarding education, career, or intervention plans.
