The Stoelting Brief Intelligence Test (S-BIT) is an non-verbal intelligence test for ages 6 - 21 and the test lasts 15 minutes. The Stoelting Brief Intelligence Test (S-BIT) is a nonverbal IQ test; It does not require the child to read, write, speak, or listen to any material. The examiner pantomimes the instructions and the individual responds by pointing or placing a card in the appropriate position. The items include a variety of problem-solving tasks increasing in complexity and difficulty. S-BIT is ideal for measuring the intelligence of children, adolescents and adults who have been difficult to evaluate:

It is particularly well suited for those with disorders of communication or thinking:
Unlike other brief intelligence tests (like TONI-3, which give only one global IQ score), S-BIT provides both norm-referenced and criterion-referenced scores for IQ, Fluid Reasoning, and academically important subtests... all in about 15 minutes. Scaled-scores for each sub-test identify specific strengths and weaknesses. Percentile and age equivalent scores are also provided for easy understanding.

| Figure Ground | Reading |
| Form Completion | Organizational Skills |
| Repeated Patterns | Understanding Abstract Information |
| Sequential Order | Inductive/Logical Reasoning |
S-BIT emphasizes fluid intelligence, the truest measure of a person's innate intelligence since it is not significantly influenced by the level and quality of an individuals educational, social and family experience.
S-BIT measures well beyond the I.Q. range of other tests... 30 - 170, exceeding that of TONI-3, K-BIT, and WISC-III. Highly Correlated With Traditional Intelligence Tests S-BIT correlates 0.85 with WISC-III Full Scale I.Q. and 0.94 with the Leiter-R.
Criterion referenced scores measure a child's ability, independent of their chronological age. The unique "growth" scores enable educators, for the first time, to chart incremental improvement over time. Sub-test "growth scores provide valuable diagnostic clues to aid educators. Both item and ability scores have been scaled based upon Rasch Item-Response Theory scaling. This provides meaningful information about the child's abilities, rather than focusing on deficits. Progress can be charted in a manner that is meaningful to professionals and parents.
Psychometric studies on Native Americans, Hispanic, and African American groups show the S-BIT to be fair for all cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
S-Bit was standardized on 984 typical and 562 atypical individuals ages 6 to 20 using a national stratification plan based on the 1993 census statistics. Nationally representative proportions of individuals who are Caucasian (non-Hispanic), Hispanic-American,African-American, Asian-American and Native-American were included. The standardization was carefully constructed to accurately represent the individuals age, gender and socio-economic status.
