I am in the process of looking for a good testing instrument for IQ testing. The K-Bit looks very reliable and easy to administer. Has anyone here tried it? I would appreciate all thoughts. Lak

I've mainly used the K-BIT with children new to the school that are missing cognitive information within their records. I think it is a valid measure, but I have seen some variability from test to retest. When reviewing the findings with school staff and parents, I always give the disclaimer that it is just a screening tool. Overall, it's not a bad instrument, if used properly.
