Abstract
This study examined relationships between the Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices, the Similarities subtest of the South African Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scales and an adaptation of the Stanford Diagnostic Reading Test Reading Comprehension subtest. Comparisons between these relationships were drawn on the basis of home language and gender in a sample of 100 university students. Results indicated significant relationships between the Advanced Matrices and both verbal tests, with no significant differences between the correlations on the basis of either gender or home language. This suggests that convergent validity is supported across these groups, and provides impetus for future research about the suitability of the Advanced Matrices for use within cross-cultural, multi-lingual contexts such as South Africa.
