CHC impact: The Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) taxonomy of cognitive abilities has gone global

The CHC taxonomy is officially a globetrotter with a large bank of frequent flier miles.   An indicator of the increasing prominence and spread of the CHC taxonomy is reflected in the globalization of CHC assessment activities in countries beyond the United States.  Several examples, which are not exhaustive, are summarized below. The influence of CHC theory, primarily via university assessment training in the use of the CHC-basedBater ía III Woodcock-Munoz(BAT III; Mu ñoz-Sandoval, Woodcock, McGrew, Mather, N. (2005a, 2005b), is prominent in Spanish speaking countries south of the US border.  This includes training, research or clinical use of the BAT III in Cuba, Mexico, Chile, Costa Rica, Panama, and Guatemala.[1]  Farther south, researchers in Brazil were early adopters of the CHC taxonomy as a guide for intelligence test development (Primi, 2003; Wechsler& de Cassia Nakano, 2016).  For example, Wechsler and colleagues (Wechsler& Schelini, 2006; Wechsler Nunes, Schelini, Pasian, Homsi, Moretti,& Anache, 2010; Wechsler, Vendramini,& Schelini, 2007) completed several studies in an attempt to adapt the CHC-based WJ III to Brazil.  More recently, Wechsler, Vendramini, Schelini, Lourenconi, de Souza and Bundim (2014) developed theBrazilian Adult Intelligence Battery (BAIB), which although only measuring Gf and Gc, is grounded in CHC theory.  Other Brazilian researchers have focused on the nature and measurement of ...
