Administration and Scoring
Bilingual Examinees
Do you test bilingual examinees who speak
both Spanish and English?
Although the KBIT-2 Crystallized (Verbal) Scale
must be administered in English, correct
responses in other languages are given credit.
The KBIT-2 provides correct Spanish language
responses on the record form for the Riddles
subtest, making scoring easier and more
accurate.

Subtest 2: Matrices
Matrices is a 46-item nonverbal measure

composed of several types of items
involving visual stimuli, both meaningful
(people and objects) and abstract (designs
and symbols).
All items require understanding of

relationships among the stimuli, and all are
multiple choice, requiring the person either
to point to the correct response or to say its
letter.
17 | Copyright 2011 | 09/28/2011
Administering Matrices
Overview
The examiner finds a relationship or rule in a set of
pictures or patterns, and points to the picture or pattern
that best fits the relationship or rule.
Giving the Subtest
Position yourself to see both sides of the easel.
On the sample items, you may want to use a piece of

paper to cover the response options.
If the examinee spends a great deal of time on an item

and does not seem to be making progress, say Make a
guess and go on to the next item. Give credit if the
examinee responds correctly.
18 | Copyright 2011 | 09/28/2011

Administering Matrices
Teaching the Task
Teaching Items:
Sample A and Items 1 and 2

Sample B and Items 10 and 11
Sample C and Items 23 and 24
Always teach following an error on these items,

regardless of how many items the examinee has taken.

starts at Item 15.
Score only the examinees first response to each

teaching item.
Scoring
For credit, the examinee must identify the correct

response by pointing to it or saying its letter.

Subtest 3: Riddles
Consists of 48 items that measure verbal

comprehension, reasoning, and
vocabulary knowledge.
The examiner asks a riddle, and the

examinee either points to a picture that
shows the answer to the riddle or says a
single word that answers the riddle.
22 | Copyright 2011 | 09/28/2011
Administering Riddles
Overview
The examiner says a verbal riddle, and the
examinee points to the picture (Items 1-8) or
says the word (Items 9-48) that answers the
riddle.
Teaching the Task
Teaching Items: Items 1, 2, 9, and 10.
Score only the examinees first response to

each teaching item.
23 | Copyright 2011 | 09/28/2011
Giving the Subtest
For Items 18, position yourself to see both sides of the

easel.
For Items 18, a correct oral response is acceptable.

For example, if the examinee says shoe instead of
pointing to the foot for Item 7, score 1. However, if the
examinee gives an incorrect oral response, say Point to
the answer, and score according to the examinees
pointing response.
Before giving the first non-picture item (Items 948),

say Ill ask you some questions. Each answer is
just one word.
24 | Copyright 2011 | 09/28/2011

Giving the Subtest
For Items 948, read each item aloud verbatim

from the record form. Do not change the wording
of an item. You may repeat a question if the
examinee asks you to, or if you suspect the
examinee didnt hear it.
If the examinee gives a response with two or more

words, say Remember, the answer has to be
just one word. Tell me the best word. The
prompt is meant to remind the examinee of that
rule.

Verbal Ability
Both subtests that make up the Verbal score

measure verbal skills by assessing a persons
knowledge of word meanings.
In addition, the Verbal tasks measure the

examinees verbal concept formation, reasoning
ability, and range of general information.
The KBIT-2 verbal score measures the Broad

Ability known as Crystallized Ability (Gc). Gc
reflects the amount of specific knowledge that
a person has acquired within a culture and the
persons ability to apply this knowledge
effectively.
32 | Copyright 2011 | 09/28/2011
Nonverbal Ability
The Nonverbal score measures the persons

ability to solve novel problems, those that are
not specifically taught or trained.
To solve the problems presented in the

Matrices subtest, the examinee needs to
perceive the pictures various attributes,
generate hypotheses about how the pictures go
together, and test out the hypotheses to arrive
at a solution.
The Matrices subtest measures Fluid Reasoning

(Gf) and Visual Processing (Gv).
