Description
First developed in the 1940s as an additional form of the Raven’s progressive matrices, the advanced progressive matrices (APM) were developed to test intellectual efficiency in people with greater than average intellectual ability and to differentiate clearly between people of superior ability. A nonverbal test of inductive reasoning, the APM contains 48 items, presented as one set of 12 (Set I) and another of 36 (Set II). As in the standard version of the test (SPM), items are presented in black ink on a white background and become increasingly difficult as progress is made through each set. Although it is an untimed task, some clinicians administer the APM under time constraints. Set II can be used without a time limit to assess the examinee’s total reasoning capacity. In this case, the examinee would first be shown the problems of Set I as examples to explain the principles of the test and would then be given approximately 1 h to complete the task....
