Abstract

The goal of this paper was the factorial structure study of the Multidimensional Battery for Children´s Intelligence, a children’s intelligence test based on the Cattell-Horn-Carroll´s Model abilities, that assesses children from seven to twelve years old. The results have demonstrated consonance between these data and Cattell-Horn-Carroll´s Model studies. Also, the analyses demonstrated that this instrument was able to evaluate, fundamentally, the abilities of Crystallized Intelligence and Processing Speed. These capacities variance could be explained by tests focused on their measurement.
