The aims include:
Assess all the key constructs of ASI
Ensure minimal influence of language/culture/experience
Provide FREE/low cost access-open source materials
Ensure that tests are highly discriminative
Allow for comprehensive yet feasible assessment- 1-1.5 hrs
Achieve standardization in 100 countries
Focus initially on ages 3-12-younger and older later?
