초록

The Advanced Progressive Matrices(APM) is generally accepted as a general intelligence test with a low level of culture-loading. APM was designed to de-emphasize cultural and academic content, sexual difference, and socioeconomic status. The major purposes of this study were to investigate whether figural reasoning ability test of APM can substitute for general intelligence test and whether APM is the culture-free intelligence test. Total score of APM was correlated with K-WISC-III' IQ and school achievement test scores. Also APM scores were analyzed according to the sex, age, and socioeconomic status. A significant positive correlations between APM and Verbal IQ(r=.44, p<.01), Performance IQ(r=.45, p<.01), and Full Scale IQ(r=.49, p<.01) were shown. There were no sexual differences and socioeconomic status differences. And there was significant association between total scores of APM and achievement test scores. All the findings in this study suggest that APM can be used as a measure of general intelligence, and thus can be used for various studies especially for identifying the gifted in the future
