SB5

Overview

Overview

The SB5 is a contemporary assessment with a rich tradition, which began in 1916 when Lewis Terman completed his American revision of the Binet-Simon scale (1905, 1908). Through various editions, this assessment has become widely known and is acknowledged as the standard for intelligence measurement.

  • Supports early identification of emerging learning disabilities in children as young as 4
  • Author research has identified special predictive composite scores for identifying both reading and math disabilities

Testing begins in Item Book 1 with the routing subtests. The start points for two routing subtests in Item Book 1 are determined by age or estimated ability level. Nonverbal Fluid Reasoning routes to the appropriate difficulty level in Item Book 2 (Nonverbal), while Verbal Knowledge does so for Item Book 3 (Verbal). The remaining eight subtests (four nonverbal and four verbal) are then measured in Item Books 2 and 3. The SB5 can be handscored or scored with the SB5 ScoringPro, a Windows®-based software program that provides consistency in raw score conversion, an extended score report, a graphical report, and a brief, narrative summary report with guidelines and suggestions based on well-established principles of assessment. The report can be exported to a word processing file for editing as necessary.

The minimum system requirements for the SB5 are:

  • Microsoft(R) Windows 98/NT(R)4.0/Me/2000/XP
  • Pentium(R) 200 MHz processor
  • 64 MB RAM (96 MB recommended)
  • CD-ROM or DVD drive
  • 100 MB free hard disk space
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher

Please not that this test includes manipulatives with small parts that may present a choking hazard for children under the age of 8. Do not allow the child to place any manipulative in their mouth. A trained adult examiner must always closely supervise the administration of the test and the use of manipulatives by children.

Reliabilities for the SB5 are very high. For the FSIQ, NVIQ, and VIQ, reliabilities range from .95 to .98 . Reliabilities for the Factor Indexes range from .90 to .92. For the 10 subtests, reliabilities range from .84 to .89.

Normative data for the SB5 were gathered from 4,800 individuals aged 2 to 85+. The normative sample closely matches the 2000 U.S. Census. Bias reviews were conducted on all items for gender, ethnicity, culture, religion, region, and socioeconomic status. Additionally, the SB5 was co-normed with the Bender® Visual-Motor Gestalt Test, Second Edition.
