A total of 212 children from 4 primary schools located in Kuala Lumpur and Trengganu were selected for this study through stratified random sampling according to age and sex.

The test battery is divided into 6 scales such asVerbal, Perceptual-Performance, Quantitative, Memory, Motor and General Cognitive. The Verbal, Perceptual-Performance and, Quantitative do not overlap in content and when they are added together, they form the General Cognitive Index which reflects on the children’s general intelligence. The MSCA was translated from English to Malay language and some of the examples in the test were adapted to the local situations.
