Abstract

The objective of the study was to develop and validate the Associative Memory Test (AM Test), as a subtest of the intelligence test (Tes Inteligensi Siswa SMA, TISS), based on Cattel-Horn-Caroll (CHC) theory of intelligence. The AM Test was used as a psychological assessment tool for determining high school students' specializations. A total of 96 first-year students from Jakarta specializing in natural and social sciences participated in the study. In the AM Test, the participants were asked to memorize pairs of pictures and words and then recall the words based on the picture. The reliability testing showed that the AM Test had a good internal consistency. The construct validity testing showed that the AM Test can effectively measure associative memory because it correlated significantly with the IST test, which can also associative measure memory. Meanwhile, the item analysis indicated that most items had a low difficulty level. Most of the items also had good discriminative index based on the discrimination items. The findings of the study demonstrate that the AM Test is a promising test that can be used in assessing high school students in a classroom setting. However, item revisions, better retesting, and improved sample number are still needed to increase the quality of the AM Test and further develop its norms.
