What does the "Red and white visual spatial orientation block puzzle" test for??


Answers: I think you're referring to the Block Design subtest on either the WAIS-IV (or III) or the WISC-III, which are tests to determine intellectual functioning. The block design test assess exactly what you're describing. It's a timed visual spatial reasoning assessment. Of all of the the subtests in the WAIS or the WISC, it is considered one of the more accurate assessments of a persons ability to figure out abstract spatial reasoning. Better scores on this subtest are achieved by (1) efficient times and (2) correct assembly of the patterns. Often this subtest combined with a vocabulary subtest will be used as a screen to make an approximation of an individuals overall IQ because these two test tend to correlate with the overall IQ score at least 90% of the time.
