Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales

The Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales (RIAS) is an individually administered test of intelligence that includes a co-normed, supplemental measure of memory. It is appropriate for individuals ages 3–94 years.

The RIAS intelligence subtests include Verbal Reasoning (verbal), Guess What (verbal), Odd-Item Out (nonverbal), and What's Missing? (nonverbal). Memory subtests include Verbal Memory and Nonverbal Memory. Included within the RIAS is the Reynolds Intellectual Screening Test (RIST), a quick screener that consists of two RIAS subtests (Guess What and Odd-Item Out) and takes less time to complete than the RIAS.

Famous quotes containing the words reynolds, intellectual, assessment and/or scales:

    My dear dear Mother,
    If you don’t let me come home I die—I am all over ink,
    and my fine clothes have been spoilt—I have been tost in a blanket, and seen a ghost.
    I remain, my dear dear Mother,
    Your dutiful and most unhappy son,
    Freddy.
    P.S. Remember me to my Father.
    —Frederick Reynolds (18th century)

    Immanuel Kant lived with knowledge as with his lawfully wedded wife, slept with it in the same intellectual bed for forty years and begot an entire German race of philosophical systems.
    Stefan Zweig (18811942)

    The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.
    —Anonymous Mother. From the Boston Women’s Health Book Collection. Quoted in The Joys of Having a Child, by Bill and Gloria Adler (1993)

    For these have governed in our lives,
    And see how men have warred.
    The Cross, the Crown, the Scales may all
    As well have been the Sword.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
