Abstract

Results are reported for a standardization of the Standard Progressive Matrices in Darfur. The sample consisted of 1006 school students aged 9 to 18 years. The younger children performed better than older children, in relation to British norms. This may be because schools in Darfur do not give so much attention to teaching the problem solving skills tested in the Progressive Matrices, or perhaps due to the underdevelopment of Darfur region compared to other regions of Sudan.
