本研究旨在修訂美國1983年版之Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children，供我國學校或兒童教育研究機構評優一歲半至十二歲半兒童智力和成就水準之用。攷夫曼兒童智力測驗共有十六個分測驗，視受試兒童年齡水準而選用七至十三個分測驗施測，測驗時間約需三十五至八十分鍾。本研究歷經兩年，其第一年工作側重在編製試題、預試和項目分析，第二年工作側重標準化程序和追蹤研究。以選自臺灣北、中、東、南四區1600名兒童組成標準化標本，供建立標準分數常模之依據。信度研究採重測法及庫李法二者，而效度研究則採構想效度法和效標關聯效度法。

The purpose of this research was to revise the K-ABC for children from age two and half to age twelve and half. It is a two-year project. In the first year project, the test items were selected based on the results of the carefully designed pre-testing.
