  • Available in a variety of pre-packaged kits for easy purchase and a discounted price from the individual components.

Features

The SPM test has a total of 60 items presented in 5 sets (A-E) of 12 items. The SPM Plus contains more powerful items while retaining the five-set, sixty-item format of the SPM.

  • Multiple manuals contain test administration and interpretation guides, as well as research and technical information.
  • Each version of the Raven’s Progressive Matrices is administered by use of a booklet containing the version specific matrices.
