Description
Raven’s Progressive Matrices consist of a visual geometric design with a missing piece. The test taker is given from six to eight choices to pick from and fill in the missing piece. There is no time limit. The test produces a single raw score as well as percentile rank to indicate the candidate’s educative ability or the ability to think clearly and extract meaning out of events, compared to a norm group.
Specific Instructions
Raven’s Progressive Matrices is a proprietary instrument, and administration requires a licensing agreement from Pearson. Researchers should complete and return an application to pas.licensing@pearson.com.
