About the scale

The AlifYa Scale is the first individual IQ-scale specifically designed Arab societies in general and for Saudi and Gulf countries in particular. It measures both general IQ and other aspects such as those related to giftedness and special needs. As well as providing clinical diagnosis of certain conditions. It is based on the most recent established scientific theories in the field of measurement of mental abilities. The scale is designed to be available on electronic devices such as tablets or computers, using audio and visual aids. The system also enables the examiner or clinician to closely follow the test taker performance via another tablet or computer, giving the examiner time to record detailed notes on test taker behavior. The instrument is designed in the form of gamification (using the structure of computer games) in accordance with adaptive testing methodologies. This is to reduce the risk of boredom and to better suit the digital generation.
