Correct Answer - Option 3 : Stanford-Binet Test
Performance test, also known as a non-verbal intelligence test is a test that:
- assesses learner's ability to understand and interpret visual information like pictures or diagrams.
- emphasizes activating the learner's logical, spatial, and abstract reasoning to solve a particular task.
Cattell's Culture Fair Test, Bhatia Battery Test, and Raven's SPM Test are the performance test of intelligence.
- The earliest nonverbal /performance test was the Seguin Form Board. Though several performance tests were developed in the early part of the twentieth century, two of the more known tests were the Kohs Block Design test (Kohs, 1920) and the Porteus Maze Test (Porteus, 1915, 1919).
- The Kohs Block Design test requires the individual to assemble painted blocks to match a pattern.
- The Porteus test consists of a graded series of mazes. This test is still available today but is not in wide use.
- The Army Beta test came into being out of the necessity to recruit illiterate and non-English-speaking persons to the army. So obviously it was a non-language test consisting of a number of visual-perceptual and motor tests like tracing a path through mazes and saying the correct number of blocks shown in a three-dimensional drawing.
- The Culture Fair Intelligence Test (Cattell, 1940; IPAT, 1973) and Raven’s Progressive Matrices (Raven, 1938, 1986, 1992, 1995) are well-known nonverbal intelligence tests.
Individual Verbal Tests: In this type of intelligence test one person appears the test at a time for whom it is meant. The teste is required to use language while attending the test items. Here the subject’s response may be given to oral form or written form.
- Examples: i. Stanford-Binet Test of Intelligence. ii. Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (Verbal Scale).
- The individual verbal tests act as a suitable instrument to bring ideas about intelligence for literate and physically handicapped children of lower age groups. In spite of this merit, it has certain drawbacks.
- It is a more costly affair and time-consuming. Besides this, it required a trained person to administer and use.
- It is unsuitable to those who are unable to read and write the language of the test.
Hence, we can conclude that Stanford -Binet test is a verbal test.

Cattell's Culture Fair Test
|
- It is also known as a culture-free test, developed by Raymond Cattle.
- It is designed to assess learners' knowledge and abilities irrespective of their caste and culture.

|
Bhatia Battery Test
|
- It is a performance test developed by C.M. Bhatia.
- This test includes cards with different patterns and the children are required to draw these patterns without lifting the pencil.
|
|
Koh's Block Design Test
|
- It is developed by Samuel Calmin Kohs.
- It is designed to measure spatial visualization ability, mental coordination, motor skills, and the ability of analysis and synthesis.

Cattell's Culture Fair Test, Bhatia Battery Test, and Koh's Block Design Test are the performance test of intelligence.
