Hamdan Intelligence Scale (HIS) is the first intelligence scale that has been developed and normed in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This study aimed to examine the refinement, validity, and reliability of HIS in upper elementary grades using the Rasch model. A total of 4,301 students (34.3% Male; 65.7% Female) from grade 4 to 6 (32.1% grade 4; 33.7% grade 5; 34.2% grade 6) were administered to the HIS. The confirmatory factor analysis was first conducted to verify the fitness of the one-factor model of the HIS. The results of validity showed strong correlation coefficients between the HIS and the Aurora- battery (0.83) and the Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices (RSPM; 0.86). Moreover, the results of the developmental trends demonstrated that raw scores of the HIS increase with age and grade relatively constantly across composite scores. Unidimensionality was confirmed through the Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Principal Component Analysis of Residuals (PCAR). The low eigenvalues of the first contrast were below 2, and additionally, the infit and outfit mean squares ranged from 0.88 to 1.14 and 0.84 to 1.14. Rasch's person reliability result of 0.62 was acceptable reliability. The results provided strong support for the validity and reliability of using the Hamdan Intelligence Scale in the UAE environment.
哈姆丹智力量表(HIS)是在阿拉伯联合酋长国(阿联酋)开发并标准化的首个智力量表。本研究旨在使用Rasch模型检验HIS在小学高年级的优化、效度和信度。对来自四年级至六年级的4301名学生(34.3%为男生;65.7%为女生)(四年级占32.1%;五年级占33.7%;六年级占34.2%)施测了HIS。首先进行验证性因素分析以检验HIS单因素模型的拟合度。效度结果显示HIS与奥罗拉成套测验(相关系数为0.83)和瑞文标准渐进矩阵测验(RSPM;相关系数为0.86)之间具有很强的相关系数。此外,发展趋势结果表明,HIS的原始分数随年龄和年级的增长而相对稳定地增加,综合分数也是如此。通过验证性因素分析和残差主成分分析(PCAR)证实了单维性。第一个对比的低特征值低于2,此外,内拟合和外拟合均方分别在0.88至1.14和0.84至1.14之间。Rasch模型的人员信度结果为0.62,信度可以接受。研究结果为在阿联酋环境中使用哈姆丹智力量表的效度和信度提供了有力支持。
