Why use AJT Cognitive Test?

CHC Theory Indonesian context

The theory that has most influenced today’s Nationally normed over 4000 students and one
intelligence tests (Kaufman, 2009) of the most comprehensive individually
administered tests of cognitive abilities in the
world (McGrew & Schneider, 2018)

 • The Gf – Gc were the foundation for
the development and interpretation of
any intelligence test batteries
(Flanagan, McGrew & Ortiz, 2000).
• Fluid intelligence is the ability to solve
Are Gf – Gc the novel problems by using reasoning; it is
a function of biological and
King and the neurological factors and was vulnerable
to the effects of aging (Kaufman, 2005)
Queen? • Crystallized intelligence is a knowledge-
based ability that considered to be
extremely dependent on education and
acculturation and largely resistant to
the impact of aging (Kaufman, 2005)
 • The first individually administered comprehensive
tests of intelligence to be grounded in Gf-Gc were
the K-ABC (Kaufman,2005) and the Stanford-Binet
IV (Thorndike, 1986).
Tests Built • However, the real test developer who used Gf-Gc
based test of cognitive abilities was Dick Woodcock,
from Gf – Gc he is the student of Horn at USC.
• Together with Johnson, Woodcock developed the
Theory Woodcock-Johnson test battery (WJ). He
mentioned that WJ was built to address the practical
psychoeducational concerns of psychologists, special
educators and teachers and it included an array of
novel measures of intelligence
 • Cattell (1943) mentioned clearly that
• “…fluid ability has the character of a
purely general ability to discriminate
and perceive relations between any
Conclusions fundaments, new or old…”
• “…crystallized ability consists of
discriminatory habits long
established in a particular field…”
