Dr. Kevin McGrew, visiting professor with the Department of Educational Psychology, recently returned from his fifth consultation trip to Indonesia to continue work on the development of the first-ever Indonesian developed and standardized intelligence test for school-age children and youth.

Dr. McGrew, together with staff from the Dharma Bermakna Foundation and Universatas Gadjah Mada (UGM), completed reviews of the large scale item calibration data. Selection of test items for the norming edition of tests was initiated. The next step involves completion of the development of the tests to be used for national norming and the development of a multi-stage national sampling strategy.
