• These five factors include; 

1. Fluid reasoning
2. Knowledge
3. Quantitative reasoning
4. Visual-spatial processing
5. Working memory

Some other features:

✓ This test measures things that are necessary for school success.

✓ Binet’s test is a set of age-graded items

✓ Binet assumed that children’s abilities increase with age.

• Both verbal and nonverbal responses are measured.

1. Fluid reasoning :  

• Fluid reasoning is the ability to solve abstract problems in which no prior knowledge is required.c

For example; – Explain differences (between a fish and a horse);

3. Quantitative Reasong
