Abstract
Summary. Non‐verbal intelligence tests have been used widely in India for measurement and research without adequate examination of their validity in the Indian culture. The present study provides evidence that a test meeting the specified conditions for “culture‐fairness” does not demonstrate the expected equal performance across cultures. A comparison of children from the normative sample of the Test of Non‐Verbal Intelligence and a matched sample of Indian children was conducted. Confirmatory factor analysis was not supported by the data structure. Factor scales comparisons between the two groups indicated significant differences. Item analyses indicated that items requiring matching were those significantly different. Comparison of students at different levels of ability and aptitude within the Indian sample indicated that the test did not discriminate sufficiently for classification or diagnostic usefulness.
