A Quick and Comprehensive Assessment of Visual Organization Across the Lifespan

Identi-Fi is designed as a more up-to-date and accurate assessment tool for evaluating visual organization, visual processing skills, and to measure neuropsychological integrity.

Useful anytime you suspect visual organization or visual processing impairment and could benefit from a comprehensive evaluation, including:

  • To assess the visual organization and processing skills of individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI), central nervous system (CNS) compromise or right hemisphere damage.
  • To monitor the recovery of individuals following a TBI, CNS compromise, or right-hemisphere dysfunction.
  • To evaluate reading disorders when deficits in visual, perceptual or processing skills that may adversely impact orthographic processing are suspected.

We developed Identi-Fi as an up-to-date, well-normed set of tasks that assesses visual organization skills in more depth. We included a matching task to see if prompts or cueing assist certain examinees more than others, as is often the case in those with central nervous system compromise, as a complement to a task that requires purely visual organization and recognition skills.

Features and benefits

  • Subtests are greatly motor-reduced, only requiring a one-word utterance or a simple pointing response. This makes Identi-Fi easier to interpret and more accurate than other measures that require fast and more precise fine motor control.
  • Features up-to-date illustrations with large, full-color stimuli that make it more relevant to today’s population and more adaptable to those with mild visual impairment.
  • The record form includes a reliable change table to record subtest and index score changes over time.
  • Quick and easy to use—administer and score in just 15 minutes.
  • Co-normed with the Trails-X, a trail-making test that includes additional executive function demands. 
  • The Identi-Fi Remote allows for administration via teleconferencing and the In-Person e-Stimulus book and kits are convenient alternatives to paper administration that allow for face-to-face administration via tablet. See the FAQ section to download the white paper and learn more prior to administration.

FAQs

What advantages does this visual organization test have over older tests?

Identi-Fi was developed with several purposes in mind.

  1. The subtests are greatly motor-reduced to the point of requiring only a one-word utterance or a simple pointing response. Without the confounds that accompany tests with motor requirements, Identi-Fi is easier to interpret directly as a measure of visual organization.
  2. Identi-Fi was designed with large, full-color stimuli featuring up-to-date illustrations, making it more salient to current populations and more adaptable to mildly visually impaired individuals than previous tests of visual organization.
  3. Developed using an up-to-date, well-normed set of tasks that assesses visual organization skills in more depth.

How do I remotely administer the Identi-Fi?

The Identi-Fi Remote is an appealing and accurate test of visual organization to help you assess individuals with traumatic brain injury or central nervous system compromise and monitor recovery following a brain injury. A digital adaptation of the paper-and-pencil version, it’s designed specifically for testing your clients when you’re apart.

Features and benefits

  • Because administration relies on videoconferencing, you and your clients can connect regardless of physical location.
  • Equivalency between paper-and-pencil and digital formats has been studied and supported. Read our white paper to learn more.
  • Only 10 minutes is needed to obtain the Visual Organization Index, which allows you to quickly and accurately evaluate the examinee's visual organizational and visual processing skills.
  • Features the same full-color, up-to-date stimuli illustrations as the paper-and-pencil version—making the test salient to current populations and adaptable to mildly visually impaired individuals.
  • Motor demand is low, requiring only a one-word utterance or a simple pointing response
  • A technical paper provides detailed administration instructions, and a white paper details the paper-and-pencil to digital equivalency study.
  • Useful in a variety of contexts:
    • when assessing individuals with traumatic brain injury and other forms of central nervous system compromise
    • when visual perceptual or processing skill deficits are suspected in the evaluation of reading disorders
    • when monitoring recovery following a brain injury or other CNS compromise
    • when right hemisphere dysfunction or deficiencies are hypothesized
    • when visual attention is an issue

Can the Identi-Fi help me assess for right hemisphere damage?

As a measure of visual organization, Identi-Fi is appropriate for an array of purposes and can be used when assessment of an examinee’s visual organizational and visual processing skills is deemed useful or desirable. This may occur in many contexts, including assessment of individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other forms of central nervous system (CNS) compromise or evaluation of reading disorders when visual perceptual or processing-skill deficits that may adversely impact orthographic processing are suspected. It is also useful for monitoring recovery following a brain injury or other CNS compromise, whenever right hemisphere dysfunction or deficiencies are hypothesized, and when visual attention is an issue.

What is the technical information for Identi-Fi?

Test structure

  • Includes two subtests (Visual Recognition and Visual Matching) that combine to yield a Visual Organization Index.
  • Offers percentile ranks, T scores, z scores, normal curve equivalents, and stanines.


Technical information

  • Features new normative data (N = 901) representative of 2017 U.S. Census statistics.
  • Standardized with individuals across the age range (5 to 79 years).
  • Conormed with the Trails-X, a trail-making test that includes additional executive function demands.
