Abstract

Visual-spatial ability measurement for the recommendation for 10th grade high school students serves as the basis for constructing a visual-spatial test. Cattell-Horn-Carroll theory, which is currently the most comprehensive theory of intelligence, is used as the structural framework of this test. This research attempts to construct a visual-spatial test that contains items that discriminate individual ability, has distractors that perform well and are spread evenly among false options, and can be meaningfully interpreted. This research also attempts to construct a reliable and valid measure of visual-spatial ability. This test was administered to 97 10th grade high school students from three high schools in Jakarta (Mage=16,01; SD = 4,691). Results show that visual-spatial measurement is internally consistent and is correlated significantly with subtest 2 of TIKI M (Combined Parts) and subtest 7 of TIKI M (Forming Shapes), thereby indicating the validity of this test. Initially, this test consisted of 35 items. However, several items that did not meet the criteria were eliminated. The final version of this test has 20 items with varying degrees of difficulty, can discriminate an individual’s ability, and has distractors that perform optimally. The visual-spatial test score was interpreted using within-group norms with a scaled score. This test is proven to be a suitable visual-spatial measurement tool that can be used for recommendation for 10th grade high school students.
