Labyrinth test according to Porteus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The maze test after Porteus (LT-P) (Engl. Porteus Maze Test ) is a non-verbal intelligence test of the Australian psychologist Stanley Porteus . The labyrinth test consists of a series of labyrinths of varying difficulty. The test person should find and draw a path without time restrictions. In doing so, it must avoid dead ends, but not go backwards. The test is suitable for adults and children from 3 years of age.

Porteus originally developed the labyrinth test while teaching a special school in Melbourne and modified it after his migration to the United States .

The results of the test consist of a quality rating and a test age. The test has an average scoring correlation with verbal intelligence tests of about 0.5 and a higher correlation with other non-verbal intelligence tests such as Kohs Blocks and Knox Cubes .
