Reynolds Intellectual Screening Test - Second Edition (RIST-2)

Purpose: To screen for general intelligence

Age: 3–94 years

Time: 10–15 minutes

The Reynolds Intellectual Screening Test - Second Edition (RIST-2) was developed to provide a quick and reliable screening measure of general cognitive aptitude.

Derived from the updated Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales - Second Edition (RIAS-2) subtests, the RIST-2 retains the same two subtests as the original RIST: Guess What, a verbal subtest, which is a traditional measure of crystallized intelligence; and Odd-Item Out, a nonverbal subtest, which focuses on fluid intelligence.

The RIST-2 is ideal for identifying individuals who may need a more comprehensive assessment of intelligence in a variety of settings, and can also be useful in clinical and school practice when a global estimate of intelligence is all that is needed.

Key Features

• Validity of the RIST-2 was assessed in studies with stroke, dementia, hearing impairment, traumatic brain injury, intellectual disability disorder, ADHD, learning disability, and gifted clinical groups. The RIST-2 can effectively identify individuals with an intellectual impairment
• Correlations between the RIST-2 index and RIAS-2 subtests were .84 and .87, respectively, for Guess What and Odd-Item Out

Whilst the RIST-2 can only be administered by hand, it can be scored online via PARiConnect. All PARiConnect purchases made directly through ACER include dedicated local support. Contact our Customer Service Team to set up your account today.
