Overview

Randomized trial develops new intelligence norms for Indian children, suggesting better evaluative benchmarks.

Key Points

  • The study aims to develop more accurate norms for the Raven's CPM to assess the intelligence of children in government schools in India.
  • Sample includes 1,752 children from Delhi, Hyderabad, and Patna.
  • Developed alternative norms across four age categories (8, 9, 10, 11).
  • Analyzed existing CPM norms to identify limitations in representation and distribution.
  • 78.5% of the sample scored in the bottom 10th percentile based on existing norms.
  • Existing norms were based on a significantly smaller sample size and predominantly represented private school children.
  • New norms align better with the demographic realities, offering a more representative intelligence evaluation.
