RATIONALE OF THE ASSEMENT
The rationale of the assessment was to assess the IQ using Bhatia’s battery short form.
DESCRIPTION OF THE ASSESSMENT TOOL
The administration of Bhatia’s full battery takes about 45 minutes. Given the significant
disparity in psychologists-to-patients’ ratio, and especially where time is a limiting factor, test
developers usually come up with short version of the full assessment versions. Similarly,
psychologists have proposed a shorter version that includes Block Design and Pass Along
subtests from Bhatia’s battery. Even though many use these two subtests as the short battery,
there are two versions to arrive at full IQ. One, to sum up raw scores of Block Design and Pass
Along subtests and multiply it with 2.5, and to compare with the overall-full norms. Second,
scores were allotted for each block of 30 seconds instead of 60 seconds as in Bhatia original
method
