Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to study the characteristics of the Colored
Progressive Matrices (CPM) and the Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM) and
constructed norms for Thai students aged 6-18 years in Northern region. The sample
was 1,388 students of which 614 were 6-11 years old, and 774 were 12-18 years old.
Results revealed that the CPM was rather easy for students aged 6-11 years
( p = 0.74), mean of discriminating power was 0.50 and high reliability (rtt= 0.92). A
principal component analysis, followed by a series of varimax rotations of principal
components, was performed. The 7-factor solution provided the most interpretable
factor structure. Name of factor I was Creation. Factor II was Balance. Factor III was
Category. Factor IV was Continuity. Factor V was Distinguish. Factor VI was
Connection and factor VII was Assembly. The difficulty of the APM was of a
moderately easy level ( p = 0.60), mean of discriminating power was 0.49 and of high
reliability (rtt= 0.88). The principal component analysis, followed by a series of
varimax rotations of principal components, was performed. The 9-factor solution
provided the most interpretable factor structure. Name of factor I was Organization.
Factor II was Relation. Factor III was Combination. Factor IV was Summation. Factor
V was Creation. Factor VI was Subtraction. Factor VII was Transformation. Factor
VIII was Increase. Factor IX was Category.
The results above found that the CPM and the APM were fair quality tests due
to those characteristics. It could be used for constructed IQ score norm. In addition,
the comparison of mean difference between sex, age, and educational level found a
significant difference of mean in age and educational level. Therefore, the IQ score
norm of the CPM and the APM classified by age and educational level were
constructed. To use IQ score norm, age and educational level should be considered
