Thank you for the incredible explanation about intelligence, equity and tests. Sorry for my ignorance, but I'd like to know if when you say "measure thinking and not knowing" would be the same that measure what is called fluid intelligence rather than crystallized intelligence? Moreover, I'd like to know of we can say, then, that the ""real"" intelligence (I know real is not best word) is that fluid ability? If it is, then we can say that those people who score higher or superior in verbal indexes are because they have more opportunities to read or got o a good school? Coud someone achieve above 95th percentile because they read a lot? Reading a lot for curiosity isn't a signal for that unusual intelligence? For example, a child who has scored very superior in Raven's advanced matrices, but scored "only" average on verbal abilities should be accepted in gifted programs while a child who scored very superior in verbal but above average in raven's matrices should not? I love tour theory and tests, I came from a country with high social injustices and we use only WAIS and WISC tests and Raven's. So I'm trying to understand the leaps in these tests and figure out how include PASS theory, at leats in my analysis of cases. I think I can "condensate" this in: I know that to be just we have to use thinking rather than knowing. But are the verbal indexes, inside the specific conditions, still valid or we could identified, for example, gifted children for verbal indexes that are not really gifted? PS: I see that white children scored similar in CAS and WISC, indicating that with access to knowledge the thinking and knowing seems to correlate well. PS2: My questions are to better understand what we've been doing wrong for a long time...and how to revert that. Thank you!

The Cognitive Assessment System - Second Edition (CAS2) is a well-researched, norm-referenced measure of cognitive ability based on the cognitive/neuropsychological theory called PASS (Planning, Attention, Simultaneous, and Successive). The CAS2 was designed to measure cognitive processing abilities important for a broad range of differential diagnoses and instructional planning in individuals ages 5-0 through 18-11. CAS2 provides practitioners with a valid and reliable tool to evaluate children's strengths and weaknesses in important areas of cognitive processing.
