Analysis of the Correlation between the K-WISC-Ⅴ and the KBIT2 for a Simple Intelligence Test for Gifted Students in Elementary School

Abstract

Objectives This study examined the appropriateness of using an intelligence test paper for a simple intelligence test of gifted elementary school students through a correlation analysis between Wechsler intelligence scale for children(K-WISC-Ⅴ) and korean kaufman brief intelligence test(KBIT2). Methods For the study, an intelligence test was conducted on 36 elementary school students in Gyeonggi Province who applied to participate in an intelligence test using the K-WISC-Ⅴ and the KBIT2 for two months from January to February 2021. Statistical analysis was performed on the collected data using Pearson's simple correlation analysis method using the SPSS statistical program. Results First, there was a statistically significant correlation (r=0.823) between the total intelligence quotient of K-WISC-Ⅴ and KBIT2. As a result of the correlation analysis of intelligence quotient by indicator, KBIT2 verbal ability was found to have a statistically significant correlation in the order of language comprehension, working memory, fluid reasoning, and space-time of K-WISC-Ⅴ, and no correlation was found with language ability be-cause processing speed had different characteristics. As a result of the correlation analysis of intelligence quo-tient by indicator, KBIT2 verbal ability was found to have a statistically significant correlation in the order of lan-guage comprehension, working memory, fluid reasoning, and space-time of K-WISC-Ⅴ, and it was not found no correlation with language ability because processing speed had different characteristics. Conclusions Therefore, it was confirmed that KBIT2 can be used as a simple intelligence test tool instead of K-WISC-Ⅴ, which is generally used to check the intellectual level of gifted students in elementary school.
