Constructed this test for Indian Population in 1955. Five Sub -Tests: Koh’s Block Design Alexander Pass a Long Pattern Drawing Test Immediate Memory Test Picture Construction Test
Psychometric Properties Standardization of 05 subtests was done for over 4 years in village & cities in place of cross cultural settings. Split Half Reliability: 0.55 Validity : 0.77 Correlation with other intelligence tests is: 0.67-0.82 Total Maximum time: 1 hour. Total Maximum score: 95
Koh’s Block Design Test: It contains 10 sub-tests out of 16 subtests of the Koh’s Block Design Test. Koh’s Block Design Tests have been included in the battery. There is one card on every sub-test upon which is depicted a colour design. The Subject or the examinee sees the design on the card and makes the same design using the given blocks. as shown the figure below. These designs become correspondingly more complex; having been simple at the start. . Alexander Pass Along Test- The Bhatia battery also includes Alexander Pass Along Test , there are some designs. The subject shifts coloured pieces in an open box and places them similar design. Pattern Drawing Test- This test has been developed by Dr. Bhatia himself. In this there are eight cards on each of which there is a particular form. The subject draw particular figure of pattern after seeing this form .

Instructions for Pattern Drawing Test There are eight patterns in Increasing difficulty from 1st to 8th. You have to draw these patterns one by one. But, the rules are that once you start drawing a pattern you have to draw it without repeating the lines and without lifting the pencil. Stop the test when failure has been recorded twice in succession. Maximum 2 minutes for each 4 patterns & 3 minutes for patterns no. 5-8
Pattern-Drawing Test
Instructions for Pattern Drawing Test I will say some Numbers/letters. Please listen attentively. Repeat it (in the same-direction/opposite- direction) after I have finished. We start with Two numbers/letters & last go to 9 numbers/letters . We have Three alternative sets. If failure is recorded in the first set, try the second and third alternative sets. If failure is recorded in all the three alternatives a final failure is recorded and we stop this test.
Instructions for Picture Completion Test I will provide you some pieces of a picture and you have to construct a whole/full picture using those pieces. Sub Tests Parts Time (In Minutes) 1 2 2 2 4 2 3 6 2 4 8 3 5 12 3 Note:- In case of failure, record not only failure but the number of pieces the subject was able to fit in correctly with in the time limit. Stop the test when failure has been recorded twice in succession.
