| Abstract: | The "Raven's 2 Progressive Matrices Clinical Edition" (Raven's 2; Raven, Rust, Chan, & Zhou, 2018), published by NCS Pearson, is an individually administered nonverbal assessment of general cognitive ability developed to measure "educative abilities," defined as the ability to think clearly and solve complex problems in individuals aged 4 through 90 years. The test examines cognitive functions such as perception and attention to visual detail, inductive reasoning, fluid intelligence, broad visual intelligence, classification and spatial ability, simultaneous processing, and working memory. The kit includes an administration manual, scoring template, 25 answer sheets, and test booklet. This review concludes that overall, the Raven's provides a quick, effective, and efficient estimate of general cognitive ability. Its construct breakdown, large test bank, and short completion time make it a useful measure for both clinical and research settings. As well, it may be useful in measuring the intelligence of special populations. Though the measure experiences some limitations, it remains both useful and recommendable. |
