Introduction
The Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT–2;
Bruininks & Bruininks, 2005), is an individually administered test that uses
engaging, goal-directed activities to measure a wide array of motor skills
in individuals aged 4 through 21. It is designed to provide practitioners
such as occupational therapists, physical therapists, developmental adaptive
physical education teachers, and researchers, among others, with a reliable
and efficient measure of fine and gross motor control skills. The BOT–2
has two forms: the 53-item Complete Form and the 14-item Short Form.
The Complete Form consists of eight subtests and yields derived scores
for the eight subtests, four motor-area composites, and the Total Motor
Composite. The Short Form consists of one or two items from each of the
eight BOT–2 subtests and yields derived scores for a single composite score
of overall motor proficiency, similar to the Total Motor Composite. This
software provides scoring for both BOT–2 forms.
For more information about the use and interpretation of the BOT–2,
refer to the BOT–2 Manual.

Entering Test Record Scores
After you have saved the information entered on the Test Record:
Information screen, the Test Record: Scores screen will appear. This screen
is used to enter scores from the BOT–2 Complete Form and Short Form.
Based on the form you indicated on the Test Record: Information screen,
the software will activate either the Complete Form section or the Short
Form section of the screen.
To Enter Test Record Scores for the Complete Form

The Test Record: Scores screen provides two options for entering BOT–2
test scores: Item Raw Score Entry (IRS) or Total Point Score Entry (TPS)
(see Figure 10). You must select a score entry method, either IRS or TPS,
for each subtest. However, you do not have to select the same score entry
method for all the subtests.
Figure 10. Test Record: Scores screen

Note: The initial Test Record: Scores screen defaults to item raw score
entry. This is indicated by the letters IRS, which appear for each subtest in
the Entry Type column.
20
To Enter Item Raw Scores for a Subtest
1. Click the IRS button in the Item Raw Score Entry (IRS) column
next to the subtest name.
u I f a total point score has not previously been entered for that
subtest, the Test Record: Item Raw Score Entry screen will
appear (see Figure 11).
Figure 11. Test Record: Item Raw Score Entry screen
u If a total point score has previously been entered for that subtest,
a pop-up window will warn you that selecting a different
method of score entry will cause you to lose previously entered
data (see Figure 12). You must then choose whether to proceed
with entering item raw scores. If you chose to proceed, the score
entry method changes to IRS on the Test Record: Scores screen
and the Test Record: Item Raw Score Entry screen will appear.
Figure 12. Entry Method Confirmation pop-up
21
2. Each subtest’s Test Record: Item Raw Score Entry screen contains
the item name and the field(s) for entering the raw score(s) for
each item in that subtest (see Figure 11). Place the cursor in the
field for the item you want to score.
u hen you place the cursor in an item raw score entry field, the
W
valid raw score range for that item is displayed at the top of the
screen just below the subtest’s name.
u Invalid item raw score entries include any score that is not
indicated as being within the valid raw score range. The
program automatically deletes any invalid entry in the item
raw score field when you move cursor to another field. That is,
the item raw score entry field will be empty.
u After you enter a valid item score, use the mouse, Tab key, or
Enter key to move the cursor to the item raw score entry field
for that item’s second trial or to the entry field for the next item
you want to score. If a score is missing for a particular item or
trial, use the mouse to move the cursor to the raw score entry
field of the next item you want to score.
3. After all item raw scores have been entered, click the Score button
at the bottom of the screen. You will then be asked if you wish to
verify the raw scores you have just entered. Doing so clears the
screen of all previously entered item raw scores but saves them in
the program’s memory. You may then re-enter the subtest’s item
raw scores.
4. Click the Verify button to compare the two sets of raw scores
you have entered. A message will appear explaining that fields
shaded in red indicate entries that do not match your original
entries. Clicking OK will
clear the item raw score
fields that do not match
your original entries
(see Figure 13). Enter
the correct score, and
then click Score. If no
inconsistencies remain,
click Score.

Figure 13.
Test Record: Item Raw
Score Entry screen with
inconsistent scores
22
5. The BOT–2 ASSIST will then check for missing scores. If any item
is missing an item raw score, a pop-up window will indicate which
item(s) is (are) missing raw scores (see Figure 14).
Figure 14. Pop-up window indicating missing scores
u lick the OK button. You can then enter raw scores for the
C
necessary item(s).
u Click Score again. The program will again check for missing
scores and display any necessary error messages.
6. The Score Confirmation pop-up screen appears after the ASSIST
software determines that all required item raw scores have been
entered (see Figure 15). This screen displays the point scores for
each item and the total point score for the subtest. Click Yes to
accept the scoring and proceed with score entry.
Figure 15. Score Confirmation screen
23
7. Click the Exit button at the bottom of the Test Record: Item
Raw Score Entry screen at any time to return to the Test Record:
Scores screen. A pop-up window will appear that gives you the
option of saving or deleting the data entered to that point. You
will then be returned to the Test Record: Scores screen. Any items
with missing scores when the data are resaved will be treated
as missing.
To Enter a Total Point Score for a Subtest

1. Click the TPS button in the Total Point Score Entry (TPS)
column next to the subtest name.
2. Enter subtest total point scores for the subtest in the appropriate
Total Point Score field. The valid Total Point Score range for the
subtest appears under the subtest name in the upper left hand
corner of the screen.
To Transform BOT–2 Subtest Item Raw Scores and Total

Point Scores
After you have completed entry of item raw scores and/or subtest total
point scores, the software can then transform these scores into scale scores
(for subtests) and standard scores (for composites).
The BOT–2 ASSIST computes each motor-area composite standard score
by summing the scale scores of the two subtests that make up a given
motor-area composite. The software calculates the Total Motor Composite
standard score by summing the standard scores of all four motor-area
composites. These transformations are completed and displayed when you
choose to create a report for a test record (see Creating and Generating
a Report).
Exceptions to Calculating Complete Form Scale Scores and

Standard Scores
1. If one or more items in a given subtest are missing raw scores or
if a score for a required second trial is missing (see the BOT–2
Manual), then the scale score for that subtest cannot be calculated.
2. If the scale score for one or both subtests within a given motor-
area composite (Fine Manual Control, Manual Coordination, Body
Coordination, Strength and Agility) are missing, then the standard
score for that motor-area composite cannot be calculated.
3. If one or more motor-area composite standard scores are
missing, then the standard score for Total Motor Composite
cannot be calculated.
24
To Enter Test Record Scores for the Short Form
If you indicated Short Form on the Test Record: Information screen, only
the Short Form section of the Test Record: Scores screen will be activated
(see Figure 16). The BOT–2 ASSIST provides two options for entering Short
Form scores: Item Raw Score Entry (IRS) or Total Point Score Entry (TPS).
Figure 16. Short Form Test Record: Scores screen
To Enter Item Raw Scores for the Short Form

1. In the Short Form section of the screen, click the IRS button in
the Item Raw Score Entry (IRS) column.
u Ifa total point score has not previously been entered for the
Short Form, the Test Record: Raw Score Entry screen will
u If a total point score has previously been entered for the Short
Form, a pop-up window will warn you that selecting a different
method of score entry will cause you to lose previously entered
data. You must then choose whether to proceed with entering
item raw scores. If you chose to proceed, the score entry
method changes to IRS on the Test Record: Scores screen and
the Test Record: Item Raw Score Entry screen will appear.
2. Short Form item raw score entry, verification, and saving
proceed in the same manner as indicated for Complete Form
item raw score entry (see To Enter Test Record Scores for the
Complete Form).
25

Narrative Report
The Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT-2) is an individually administered
test that uses engaging, goal-directed activities to measure a wide array of motor skills in individuals aged 4
through 21. The BOT-2 uses a subtest and composite structure that highlights motor performance in the broad
functional areas of stability, mobility, strength, coordination, and object manipulation. There are four motor-
area composites, each comprising two of the eight BOT-2 subtests, and a Total Motor Composite, which
comprises all four composites and provides the most reliable measure of overall motor proficiency.
The BOT-2 provides several types of derived scores that will assist you in interpreting performance and
communicating results to parents and other practitioners. Scale scores (mean = 15, standard deviation = 5),
confidence intervals, age equivalents, and descriptive categories are used to describe subtest performance.
Standard scores (mean = 50, standard deviation = 10), confidence intervals, percentile ranks, and descriptive
categories are used to describe composite and Short Form performance.
SAMUEL HUBERT was administered the Complete Form of the BOT-2 by MARIA JEFFERSON.
SAMUEL's age was 5 years 9 months on the assessment date of September 18, 2006. This report describes
SAMUEL's motor proficiency in relation to a representative national sample of males his age, provides an
analysis of SAMUEL's personal strengths and weaknesses in the four motor-areas and summarizes his
performance level on each subtest.
During the testing session, SAMUEL's attention was observed to be Good, his fluidity of movement was
Marginal, his effort was Marginal, and his understanding of the activities was Excellent.
His fluidity of movement and effort may have affected his performance and should be kept in mind when
interpreting his scores.
SAMUEL's scores on the Total Motor Composite, four motor-area composites, and eight subtests are presented
below. When a standard score or a scale score is reported, the corresponding 90% confidence interval is
presented in parentheses.
Total Motor Composite
SAMUEL's Total Motor Composite standard score of 43 (39-47) summarizes his overall motor proficiency.
His standard score is considered Average and corresponds to a percentile rank of 24. This means that
SAMUEL's standard score is higher than 24% of the population of males his age in the norm sample.
The four motor-area composite standard scores, discussed below, range from 30 on Fine Manual Control to 62
on Manual Coordination. The wide range of scores indicates that important differences in SAMUEL's motor
proficiency among the four motor-area composites are likely and should be taken into consideration when
diagnosing motor impairment and developing motor-training programs.
Fine Manual Control
This motor-area composite measures control and coordination of the distal musculature of the hands and
65

ID#: 258901 Test Date: 09/18/2006
fingers, especially for grasping, drawing, and cutting. SAMUEL's Fine Manual Control standard score is 30 (24
-36). This corresponds to a percentile rank of 2. His performance in this area is Well-Below Average for males
his age.
SAMUEL earned a scale score of 5 (2-8) on the Fine Motor Precision subtest and a scale score of 7 (3-11) on
the Fine Motor Integration subtest. His Fine Motor Precision scale score falls in the Well-Below Average range
and his Fine Motor Integration scale score falls in the Below Average range. The difference between
SAMUEL's scale scores on these subtests is not considered significant.
His Fine Motor Precision age equivalent falls in the range of 4 years 0 months through 4 years 1 month (4:0-
4:1). This means that his total point score on this subtest is equal to the average point score earned by males in
this age range. His Fine Motor Integration age equivalent falls in the range of 4:4-4:5.
The Fine Motor Precision subtest consists of activities that require precise control of finger and hand
movement. The object is to draw, fold, or cut within a specified boundary. SAMUEL's score is consistent with
individuals who can color small shapes without going outside the boundaries, make about 5 to 10 errors when
drawing a line through a crooked path (3 mm wide, 20 cm long), and have difficulty remaining within a
boundary 1 cm wide when cutting out a circle.
The Fine Motor Integration subtest requires the examinee to reproduce drawings of various geometric shapes
that range in complexity from a circle to overlapping pencils. SAMUEL's score is consistent with individuals
who, when copying from pictures, have difficulty drawing the basic elements of a square or a triangle.
Manual Coordination
This motor-area composite measures control and coordination of the arms and hands, especially for object
manipulation. SAMUEL's Manual Coordination standard score is 62 (57-67). This corresponds to a percentile
rank of 89. His performance in this area is Above Average for males his age.
SAMUEL earned a scale score of 21 (17-25) on the Manual Dexterity subtest and a scale score of 20 (17-23) on
the Upper-Limb Coordination subtest. Both scale scores fall in the Above Average range. His Manual
Dexterity age equivalent falls in the range of 7:0-7:2 and his Upper-Limb Coordination age equivalent falls in
the range of 7:0-7:2. The difference between SAMUEL's scale scores on these subtests is not considered
significant.
The Manual Dexterity subtest uses goal-directed activities that involve reaching, grasping, and bimanual
coordination with small objects. Emphasis is placed on accuracy. However, the items are timed to more
precisely differentiate levels of dexterity. SAMUEL's score is consistent with individuals who can perform goal
-directed activities that involve small objects with accuracy and relatively fluid motions, though not quickly.
Individuals performing at this level can be expected to pick up and transfer about 10 to 15 pennies in 15 seconds
and place from 6 to 10 pegs into a pegboard in 15 seconds.
The Upper-Limb Coordination subtest consists off activities designed to measure visual tracking with
coordinated arm and hand movement. SAMUEL's score is consistent with individuals who generally can catch
a tennis ball that is tossed from 10 feet away about 75% of the time, dribble a tennis ball 5 to 10 times, and hit a
target with a tennis ball from 10 feet away about 50% of the time.
66

ID#: 258901 Test Date: 09/18/2006
Body Coordination
This motor-area composite measures control and coordination of the large musculature that aids in posture and
balance. SAMUEL's Body Coordination standard score is 44 (39-49). This corresponds to a percentile rank of
27. His performance in this area is Average for males his age.
SAMUEL earned a scale score of 19 (15-23) on the Bilateral Coordination subtest and a scale score of 8 (5-11)
on the Balance subtest. His Bilateral Coordination scale score falls in the Average range and his Balance scale
score falls in the Below Average range. His Bilateral Coordination age equivalent falls in the range of 6:9-6:11
and his Balance age equivalent falls in the range of Below 4. SAMUEL's Bilateral Coordination scale score is
significantly greater than his Balance scale score at the less than .01 level. A difference of this size can be
considered uncommon because it occurs in less than 5% of the norm sample.
The Bilateral Coordination subtest measures the motor skills involved in playing sports and many recreational
games. The tasks require body control, and sequential and simultaneous coordination of the upper and lower
limbs. SAMUEL's score is consistent with individuals who can perform coordinated arm/hand and leg/foot
movements when the limbs on the same sides of the body are synchronized, but have difficulty with coordinated
arm/hand and leg/foot movements when the limbs on the opposite sides of the body are synchronized.
The Balance subtest evaluates motor-control skills that are integral for maintaining posture when standing,
walking, or reaching. SAMUEL's score is consistent with individuals who can maintain stability in a fixed
position on both feet for more than 10 seconds and can stand on one leg for about 3 to 6 seconds, but have
difficulty standing on one leg when the eyes are closed.
Strength and Agility
This motor-area composite measures control and coordination of the large musculature involved in locomotion,
especially in recreational and competitive sports. SAMUEL's Strength and Agility standard score is 44 (38-50).
This corresponds to a percentile rank of 27. His performance in this area is Average for males his age.
SAMUEL earned a scale score of 11 (7-15) on the Running Speed and Agility subtest and a scale score of 14
(10-18) on the Strength subtest. Both scale scores fall in the Average range. His Running Speed and Agility
age equivalent falls in the range of 4:10-4:11 and his Strength age equivalent falls in the range of 5:4-5:5. The
difference between SAMUEL's scale scores on these subtests is not considered significant.
The Running Speed and Agility subtest assesses running speed and agility. SAMUEL's score is consistent with
individuals who can complete a 100-foot shuttle run course in under 13 seconds and can hop on one leg about 5
to 20 times, but have difficulty hopping on one leg from side to side more than 5 times.
The Strength subtest is designed to measure trunk strength, upper body strength, and lower body strength.
SAMUEL's score is consistent with individuals who can complete about 5 to 15 knee push-ups or sit-ups in 30
seconds and can jump forward about 30 to 54 inches from a stationary start.

On 09/18/2006, SAMUEL completed the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT
-2). The BOT-2 measures hand and arm coordination, balance, mobility, and strength using fun activities like
drawing shapes, bouncing a ball, standing on a small balance beam, hopping on one foot, and performing sit-
ups.
The skills that the BOT-2 measures play an important role in everyday tasks, including drawing and writing,
using small objects, walking and running, and participating in recreational and competitive sports. Learning
about how an individual performs these tasks helps to identify special needs so that plans can be made to
accommodate these needs and develop programs to improve performance.
An individual's performance on the BOT-2 can be described by comparing his scores to the scores obtained by
the norm group. The norm group is a representative sample of individuals from across the United States. One
type of score, called the percentile rank, indicates the percentage of individuals from this group who performed
at or below a specific score. For example, a percentile rank of 20 indicates that 20% of the group performed at
or below that score.
SAMUEL's performances in the following motor skill areas are described below: Fine Manual Control, Manual
Coordination, Body Coordination, and Strength and Agility. Because SAMUEL completed all four parts of the
BOT-2, a comprehensive score from all four areas called the Total Motor Composite also is reported.
SAMUEL's scores were compared to a group of males his age.
SAMUEL's Total Motor Composite score corresponds to a percentile rank of 24, which is considered Average
for males his age.
SAMUEL's performance on Fine Manual Control, which measures the motor skills involved in writing,
drawing, and other tasks requiring a high degree of precision, corresponds to a percentile rank of 2, which is
considered Well-Below Average for males his age.
SAMUEL's performance on Manual Coordination, which measures coordination and control of the arms and
hands, especially for manipulating small objects and catching, bouncing, and throwing a ball, corresponds to a
percentile rank of 89, which is considered Above Average for males his age.
SAMUEL's performance on Body Coordination, which measures control of the large muscles that aide in
maintaining posture and balance, corresponds to a percentile rank of 27, which is considered Average for males
his age.
SAMUEL's performance on Strength and Agility, which measures upper and lower body strength and control of
the large muscles used in walking and running, corresponds to a percentile rank of 27, which is considered
Average for males his age.
More specific areas of motor performance within each assessed motor skills area are also reported. For each of
these specific areas, SAMUEL's score is rated well-above average, above average, average, below average, or
well-below average. SAMUEL's abilities in the Fine Manual Control skills area were Well-Below Average for
Fine Motor Precision and Below Average for Fine Motor Integration. SAMUEL's abilities in the Manual
