[45] Adaptation of the Five Nonverbal Subtests of Stanford–binet Intelligence Scale Fifth Edition for Use in Urban Bangladesh

Following the total raw scores of SB5 testing, scores were divided into two groups and then item difficulty and the discrimination index were calculated within 165 children from the total sample. Besides, the study also sought to perform an age specific (6-16) item analysis from those total students. The adaptation and modification of the items were done based on the difficulty, discriminating index and internal consistency of item. Based on the findings, total 16 from 152 items were modified. While rearranging and modifying, themes were intended to keep unchanged and hence, items were changed with native content/symbol or object, made the item culture friendly, and often retranslated the question for better understanding of the students in Bangladesh.
