Theprimary difference is that Early SB-5 is streamlined for ages 2–5, coveringthe full range of abilities. However, for ages 6–7, professionals seeking abroad assessment of early intellectual giftedness should instead use thecomplete SB–5. Early SB–5 may be used to assess intellectual deficiencies,delays, and disabilities; assess developmental delays in the cognitive andlanguage domains; identify developmental disabilities in children with limitedEnglish and other expressive language difficulties; plan interventions, includingindividual family plans and individual education plans; and refer childrenfor more extensive pre-academic and neuropsychological evaluations.AdministrationEarly SB–5, like SB–5, has 10 subtests. Two subtests—Nonverbal FluidReasoning (Matrices) and Verbal Knowledge (Vocabulary)—cover the agerange 2-0 through 7-3 and provide initial scores for tailoring the remainingtest administration to the child’s ability level. Toys, manipulatives, andbrightly colored illustrations help engage young children. The remainingeight subtests offer scores in the preschool range, from 2-0 through 5-11,to measure Fluid Reasoning, Knowledge, Quantitative Reasoning, Visual-Spatial Processing, and Working Memory abilities.Scoring and InterpretationThe Early SB–5 may be scored by hand or scored with optional SB–5ScoringPro software. Scores available for Early SB–5 include 10 subtestscores (mean of 10, SD of 3, range of 1–19), broad ability (factor index)and IQ composite scores (mean of 100, SD of 15, range of 40–160),percentile, optional change-sensitive scores (CSSs), and age-equivalents.As with SB–5, a variety of interpretive frameworks may be applied to theresults of this test. The Examiner’s Manual, Supplemental InterpretiveManual, and Early SB–5 ScoringPro provide guidance on interpretation.Early SB–5 ScoringPro software also produces a parent report, whichincludes a brief narrative description and compact graphic representationof the percentile scores obtained by the examinee across the five factorindexes available on Early SB–5.!

Ehrler • Ronnie L. McGheeAges: 3-0 through 9-11Testing Time: 5 to 15 minutesAdministration: IndividualThe Primary Test of NonverbalIntelligence (PTONI) is a theoreticallysound, research-basedmethod of assessing reasoningabilities in young children.Psychologists, diagnosticians,special educators, speech–language pathologists, andother professionals can usethis test to identify both severeintellectual deficits and superiorcognitive intelligence; help estimate future school success based on familyhistory, educational background, and personality traits; and study a widerange of researchable topics and issues.The PTONI was normed on a culturally and ethnically diverse demographicsample of 1,010 children, residing in 38 states. It is unbiased, quick,accurate, and cost-efficient. Testing takes approximately 5 to 15 minutes.Minimal oral directions and a pointing-response format make it one of thesimplest and easily understood of all nonverbal intelligence tests designedfor young children.This test is composed of an Examiner’s Manual, a Picture Book with easelbacking, and an Examiner Record Form. The test format requires a child tolook at a series of pictures on each page in the Picture Book and point tothe one picture that does not belong with the others. Items are arrangedin order of difficulty. Early items measure lower order reasoning (e.g.,visual and spatial perception). Later items measure higher order reasoningabilities (e.g., analogical thinking, sequential reasoning, and categoricalformulation). A child’s performance is recorded as a standard score (calledthe Nonverbal Index), a percentile rank, and an age equivalent.PTONI Complete Kit includes: Examiner’s Manual, Picture Book with Easel, and 25Examiner/Record Forms, all in a sturdy storage box.
