THE QUICK TEST INTERPRETATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Quick Test has been administered to help estimate the overall
intellectual ability of the individual taking the examination. The Quick Test
primarily measures verbal and school-related skills such as language
development, the understanding of verbal concepts, one's general fund of
information, and English word knowledge obtained both through academic
training and life-experiences. To a lesser degree, the Quick Test measures
some nonverbal skills relating to the ability of the individual to reason what
is happening in social situations, to solve problems by being able to analyze
a situation and describe it verbally, and to understand and to describe
verbally relationships occurring in social situations. The test requires
that the individual visually examine a series of diagrams depicting social
and environmental scenes and then be able to accurately identify English
language verbal concepts as they apply to the diagrams depicted.
Since neither reading nor writing is required, individuals are not
penalized for having difficulties in reading or writing and they are able
to demonstrate their ability level by hearing verbal descriptions, visually
analyzing the situation, and indicating a correct answer by providing only a
motor response. However, individuals possessing good auditory verbal skills
in English will normally be expected to score well on the Quick Test, and
individuals who have a limited command of English or who are from a different
cultural, ethnic, or educational background from the mainstream American
society may exhibit more difficulty with this test. individuals with a
substantially limited command of the English language but who otherwise
appear to be of average intelligence should be tested by alternative methods.
The Quick Test is administered individually and therefore also allows
for judgements to be made about the candidate's motivational level, attention
span, and tolerance to frustration. Because the Quick Test is a brief
intelligence test, the scores should be thought of as estimates of ability
level only. If a more definitive evaluation of intellectual functioning is
desirable, a more comprehensive examination may be recommended.
To provide meaningful interpretations of the Quick Test, the number of
correct responses on the test is converted to an estimate of IQ as well as
a corresponding percentile level. IQ Scores may range from a low of 40 to
a high score of 160. The "statistically average" person receives an IQ score
between 90 and 110, and about half of all adults score within this range.
Almost all people (about 95 percent) achieve IQ scores between 70 and 130.
Scores above 130 are considered to be unusually high and are obtained only
by about 2 percent of the population. Similarly, scores below 70 are
considered to be unusually low and are obtained by about 2 percent of all
individuals.
It is important to understand that no test measures IQ with complete
"accuracy." Many factors can affect test scores, and results may be affected
by a individual being tired, ill, anxious, distracted, or poorly motivated.
Because there is some error present in every test score, it is recommended
that performance on the test be thought of as within a range of scores rather
than as a single, precise score.

******************************************************************
The individual appears to be functioning within the Bright Normal levels
for general cognitive abilities and should be able to participate fully in
training and vocational rehab programs. The individual was able to achieve
an overall IQ score of 113, a score which is achieved only by the top twenty
percent of the population. Good verbal skills are demonstrated, and good
abilities are documented in terms of language development, the understanding
of verbal concepts, and a highly developed general fund of information. A
high level of word knowledge which has been obtained both through academic
training and life-experiences is apparent. The individual should be able to
demonstrate good communication skills. The nonverbal skills relating to the
ability of the individual to reason what is happening in social situations, to
solve problems by being able to analyze a situation and describe it verbally,
and to understand and verbally describe relationships in social situations is
also felt to be well developed.
Classroom learning, especially that which requires reading, communication
skills, and the understanding of manuals and training guides should be
adequate. Such individuals frequently demonstrate a learning style which is
characterized by a mixture of learning by reading, visualization, and
practical experience. They tend to be good listeners and often learn well in
a lecture type of environment. They also benefit from more practical, "hands
on" approaches, and a mix of learning experiences may be helpful. Routine
written assignments should be handled well. Such individuals may become
leaders or teachers themselves.
After gaining experience, such individuals may become bored with the more
routine and basic aspects of regular work and these types of individuals may
also show innovative thinking and problem solving. Such individuals may
therefore wish eventually to be considered for potential further advancement
or training. Individuals in this range of intellectual ability function best
when they are challenged and when they work in stimulating environments and
with a variety of challenges.
Cognitively, the individual should be able to demonstrate good levels of
frustration tolerance and good abilities to deal with complicated, stressful,
complex, and ambiguous situations if personality factors are also adequate.
In summary, the individual appears to be an above average individual in
terms of cognitive and intellectual functioning.
