The purpose of developing intelligence test is to enhance teachers’ capacity to deal with the growing needs of slow learner and gifted children. What distinguishes intelligence test from the teacher made test is its highly valid and reliable. The items were constructed on the base of Thurstone Model. Students’ score on intelligence will provide teacher about the learning preferences of the student, which can be utilized for felicitous lesson designing. The sample included 12120 students from 331 schools including boys and girls from four divisions of Pakistan. Finally, 60 items are selected through item analysis, reliability and validity standards. Each of the factors contains 12 items. Strong correlation between each factor and total test confirmed the overall coherence of the test. The reliability of the test was established by using the Kudar and Richardson’s formula KR#20 and KR#21. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
