Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices

The CPM can be used to assess the degree to which children and adults can think clearly, or the level to which their intellectual abilities have deteriorated. It produces a single raw score that can be converted to a percentile based on normative data collected from various groups.

Benefits

• Assess cognitive development up to the stage when a person is sufficiently able to reason by analogy and adopt this way of thinking as a consistent method of inference.
• Available in a variety of pre-packaged kits for easy purchase and a discounted price from the individual components.

Features

Raven’s CPM consists of three sets (A, Ab, B) of 12 items.

• Multiple manuals contain test administration and interpretation guides, as well as research and technical information.
• Each version of the Raven’s Progressive Matrices is administered by use of a booklet containing the version specific matrices.
• Easy Score Answer Sheets transfer answers from the front page directly to translate responses into scores.
• Easy Score Answer Forms eliminates the need for scoring keys in most situations.
