European Standardisation
The Raven's 2 European standardisation is a non-verbal assessment of general cognitive ability suitable for adults and children from 4 to 69 years of age. The stratified normative sample is representative of the following countries within Europe: France, Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The publication of this edition represents an innovative and collaborative data collection effort between each of these countries, with each country contributing 200 cases to the overall sample. Due to the non-verbal nature of the assessment, the constructs measured by the Raven's 2 can be considered culturally invariant, and the results can therefore be confidently and reliably applied across these regions.
