Abstract

This study aims to standardize Snijders–Omen SON-R6-40 test for nonverbal intelligence by finding the psychometric properties and performance interpretation criteria. A 156-member sample has been dully analyzed by using one of the Non- Parametric Item Response Theory Models (NIRT), which is Monotone Homogeneous Model(MHM) Mokken. This was reached after due verification of the fulfillment of the assumptions of Non- Parametric Item Response Theory Models (NIRT) in the study data. These are represented in unidimensionality, local independence, and monotonicity. The results of the test has good psychometric characteristics (Construct Validity, Discrimination parameter, Difficulty parameter, Guessing parameter, Test information function) in the light of the Non-Parametric Item Response Theory Models (NIRT). Thus, this helps find the ability of the individual's ( ) corresponding to each rawoverall raw grade on the test and their corresponding changing degree, which are considered the criteria on the light of which the performance on the test is interpreted.
