This scale is one of the most valid tools for measuring learning styles, which was developed with the aim of identifying individuals' learning preferences in four basic dimensions of learning and shows how individuals receive, process, organize, and understand information when learning.

This scale has been translated, localized, culturally adapted, and validated at the Intelligent Psychometric Research Center. The localized version of this tool allows for accurate assessment of the learning styles of students, undergraduates, and other learners in the country's education system.

The results of this scale show what methods people prefer in the learning process, how they best receive and process information, and in which educational environments they perform best. Therefore, this tool is considered one of the most useful tests in the fields of education, academic guidance, designing educational programs, and improving the teaching-learning process.

This scale helps teachers, counselors, psychologists, instructional designers, and parents to better understand individual differences in learning styles and increase learning effectiveness and academic achievement of learners by selecting appropriate instructional strategies.

Dimensions to be evaluated

Active/Reflective Information Processing

This dimension shows how a person processes new information. Active learners learn best through discussion, practice, collaboration, and hands-on experience, while reflective learners prefer to think about, analyze, and then draw conclusions before taking action.

Method of receiving information: Sensing – Intuitive

This dimension assesses a person's preference for the type of information they receive. Sensing people tend to be interested in information that is objective, factual, practical, and based on experience, while intuitive people are more inclined toward abstract concepts, theories, patterns, innovation, and discovering relationships between ideas.

Information presentation method: Visual/Verbal

This dimension indicates how a person learns information best. Visual learners benefit more from diagrams, pictures, videos, concept maps, and graphical representations, while verbal learners understand material better through oral explanations, written texts, and conversations.

Method of understanding and organizing content: Sequential – Global

This dimension assesses how material is organized and understood. Sequential people learn material step-by-step and logically, while holistic people first get the big picture of the subject and then understand the connections between the different parts.

It is one of the national and innovative tools for measuring cognitive abilities, which was designed, localized, normalized, and standardized with the support of the Cognitive Science and Technology Development Headquarters of the Vice Presidency for Science, Technology, and Knowledge-Based Economy and by the IQ Psychometric Research Center. This test is designed specifically for preschool children (Pr 1 and Pr 2) and, by utilizing the comprehensive theory of intelligence Kettle-Horn-Carroll (CHC) and analysis based on the Rasch model, provides the possibility of scientific and accurate assessment of children's cognitive abilities before entering school.

Using visual content, stories appropriate to Iranian culture, and game-based activities, Mahpad creates an engaging and anxiety-free experience for the child and provides a comprehensive picture of his cognitive status in a short period of time. In addition to providing general intelligence, the standard test report displays the child's performance in five key cognitive abilities, including fluid deductive reasoning, inductive reasoning, quantitative reasoning, knowledge, and working memory, in the form of percentages, performance categories, comparative charts, and specialized commentary, and clearly identifies strengths, cognitive capacities, and areas in need of reinforcement. These features have made Mahpad a valuable tool for school readiness, early identification of developmental abilities and needs, and designing educational and intervention programs.

Abilities to be assessed

1. Fluid reasoning

The ability to solve new and unfamiliar problems without relying on prior instruction or knowledge. This ability indicates the extent to which a child can discover relationships between objects and images, recognize patterns, and find appropriate solutions to new problems. This component is considered the foundation for the development of abstract thinking and problem solving in later years.

2. Quantitative reasoning

It assesses the ability to understand basic number concepts, count, compare quantities, and recognize relationships between numbers. This ability is the foundation for the formation of mathematical thinking and is manifested in activities such as counting, recognizing more and less, matching value to number, and understanding number order.

3. Knowledge

It measures the amount of general information and basic concepts a child has acquired through interaction with the environment, everyday experiences, and verbal communication. This ability plays an important role in language development, storytelling, school learning, and communicating effectively with others.

4. Active memory

It measures the ability to store and simultaneously process information in the mind to perform different activities. Working memory helps a child follow multi-step instructions, remember information, and perform more successfully in learning poetry, stories, games, and educational activities.
