A Fast and Reliable Measure of General Intelligence
This page contains information about the Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales (RIAS-2) and Reynolds Intellectual Screening Test™, Second Edition (RIST-2). We recommend transitioning to the RIAS-2 Normative Update and RIST-2 Normative Update versions.
The RIAS-2 can be used as a stand-alone IQ assessment or as part of a larger battery to diagnose specific disorders, such as intellectual disabilities or learning disabilities, and aid in educational placement.
The RIST-2 is ideal for identifying individuals who may need a more comprehensive assessment of intelligence in a variety of settings. This general cognitive aptitude screener can also be useful in clinical and school practice when a global estimate of intelligence is all that is needed.
Some RIAS-2 and RIST-2 inventory is able to be used with the normative update:
- RIAS-2/RIST-2 Professional Manual and RIAS-2/RIST-2 e-Manual - Can be kept and used as references.
- RIAS-2/RIST-2 Print Stimulus Books - RIAS-2 NU/RIST-2 NU Upgrade Stickers are available for free in the RIAS-2 NU/RIST-2 NU Print Administration Upgrade Kit and upon request by contacting PAR Customer Support to update the front cover of the stimulus books.
- RIAS-2 Response Forms - Can be used until inventory runs out, at which time you will need to order RIAS-2 NU Response Forms.
- RIAS-2/RIST-2 Record Forms – Can be used until inventory runs out however, you are required to score via PARiConnect to use the new normative sample.
