The Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales, Second Edition, assesses intelligence and its major components. In addition to providing a full-scale IQ battery for less time and less cost than similar measures, the RIAS™-2 is ideal for use as a stand-alone intellectual assessment or as part of a larger battery to diagnose specific disorders, such as intellectual disabilities or learning disabilities. The RIAS-2 can also be used to determine educational placement for gifted students.

Why the RIAS-2?

The RIAS-2 helps you complete more evaluations in less time. School and clinical psychologists seeking to measure intelligence can also rely on the RIAS-2 for:

  • Accuracy: a low emphasis on motor demand makes the RIAS-2 a more precise measure of general intelligence. 
  • Clarity: the RIAS-2 substantially reduces or eliminates dependence on motor coordination and visual motor speed to provide a more accurate assessment of intelligence. The RIAS-2 was constructed carefully to avoid as many such confounds as possible leading to a more direct measure of intelligence that is not clouded by fine motor issues, academic learning disabilities, or attentional and other noncognitive factors, said coauthor Cecil R. Reynolds, PhD. 
  • Speed: the RIAS-2 is faster to administer than similar measures all eight subtests take less than an hour to administer and score.
  • Savings: the RIAS-2 is less than half the cost of some competitors.
