CHC Cross-Battery Worksheets:
Cognitive and Academic Abilities
The following information pertains to all CHC Cross-Battery Worksheets included in this Appendix. These worksheets were adapted from McGrew and Flanagan (1998), Flanagan, McGrew, and Ortiz (2000), and Flanagan and Ortiz (2001).
Tests printed in bold, uppercase letters are strong measures as defined empirically; tests printed in bold, lowercase letters are moderate measures as defined empirically; tests printed in regular-face, lowercase letters were classified logically through expert consensus.
Tests printed in regular-face, lowercase letters annotated by a superscripted letter “a” (i.e., a) indicate that the broad- and narrow-abilities were both classified logically by the authors.
Tests printed in regular-face, lowercase letters annotated by a superscripted letter “b” (i.e., b) indicate that the broad-ability was classified by expert consensus but the narrow-abilities were classified logically by the authors.
In the case of tests with two narrow ability classifications, the second classification is reported in parentheses. This classification system was described in Chapter 3 of this book; a description of how to use these worksheets appears in Chapter 12.
* If a test score is on a standard score scale with a mean and standard deviation other than 100 and 15 respectively, record the score in the column marked by an asterisk. Then refer to the Percentile-rank and Standard –score Conversion Table (Appendix B) to convert the score to the scale used in CHC Cross-Battery assessment (i.e., mean of 100, SD of 15). Record the new score in the next column.
**If the cluster includes two or more qualitatively different broad CHC indicators, then place a (ü ) next to the word Broad and record the appropriate CHC code in the parentheses. If the cluster includes indicators from only one narrow ability subsumed by the broad CHC ability, then place a (ü ) next to the word Narrow and record the respective narrow ability code in the parentheses.
For a more complete description of the tests included on these worksheets, see the Desk Reference section of this book (Chapters 4-10).
