The Binet-Kamat Test of Intelligence (BKT) is a culturally adapted IQ test for India, used mainly in clinical and educational settings to identify intellectual disabilities, slow learners, and learning difficulties in children (ages 3-22) by assessing reasoning, memory, and verbal skills; its uses include diagnosing developmental delays, guiding career choices, understanding cognitive strengths/weaknesses, and supporting educational planning, though it requires careful interpretation due to issues like the Flynn effect.
