Raven’s Coloured Progressive Matrices test has been extensively used across a wide variety of settings in different countries all over the world as a fair culture measure of non-verbal intelligence. The objective of the present study is to extract norms of the test to identify gifted children in Egypt. The total number of the sample was 1200 students from Public schools in Baltim Edara . (100 students from grade four , primary , 100 from grade five, 100 from grade six, 200 students from grade one, preparatory , 200 from grade two , 150 from grade three, 150 students from grade one , secondary, 100 students from grade two, 100 from grade three ). Number of females and males was equal. The principal findings of this study indicated that there were a significant effect of age on test scores was evidenced, where scores increased with age as expected. The findings also indicated there were no significant difference between the genders with regard to performance on the Raven’s CPM. Results of this study indicated that Raven’s CPM was an effective means of selecting children who may be gifted. The higher level thinking skills demonstrated on this assessment suggest that these students may benefit from increased support and placement in gifted programs.Downloads
