The link to "non verbal intelligence" does not work properly in that one gets taken to an entry on "non verbal" which has nothing to do with intelligence. I don't know how to put it right.

In that context there should be a reference to:

McCallum, R.S. (Ed.) (2003), Handbook of Nonverbal Assessment (pp. 223-240). New York: Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers.

[edit] Additional material

Folks -- I've just adding an 'Under construction' template, because I'm gradually trying to fill out this article a little bit. Just to explain what I'm up to, over the next few days I plan to add extra information on:

  • The proximity of Raven's Matrices to 'g' in multidimensional scaling.
  • The factors that appear to underlie solution rates on specific items in RM.
  • The rules that Carpenter et al. suggest can be used to solve Raven's Matrices items.

I may also pick up on the current comments about racial differences in RM scores, and on sex differences. This is a controversial area though, and still under considerable debate, so I'll try to tread carefully... Do please shout or edit if there's anything that you reckon needs discussion, or if I add anything that seems too strong! – Stuart. (Sjb90 | talk) 16:47, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
