    As a measure of current general intellectual functioning, the KBIT-2 was administered and yielded a Verbal Score = 86±5; a Nonverbal Score = 55±5; and an IQ Composite Score = 66±4. The composite score falls within the very low or borderline educational classification at the 01st percentile rank per national age based norms and needs to be viewed with caution. Due to Hunter’s struggles with focus and difficulty attending to auditory instruction, his nonverbal score is felt to be an under representation of his actual performance. Repeated testing within the near future with this or a similarly constructed psychometric instrument would probably find Hunter scoring higher than an IQ band of 60 - 74. Analysis of KBIT-2 scores found Hunter demonstrating an unbalanced skill set between his verbal skills and his spatial, visually based skills.…

Now it is just known by “WIDA” (Mission & the WIDA Story). The WIDA is only given in English, I could not find any information about the assessment being done in any other language, which I believe is because the assessment is testing English proficiency.

    Lack of support in implementing the WSCC model is why health advocates have an issue developing a health program. Getting the WSCC model implemented across the country and getting legislative support is preventing development of a health program.

But, efforts have been made to fairly standardize tests such that issues of cultural bias for example are eliminated. So, intelligence testing continues to be an arguable measurement that “has spawned a variety of aptitude and achievement tests that shape the educational choices of millions…
