Abstract
This research aimed to translate and validate the Comprehension Domain of the Slosson Intelligence Test-4 (SIT-4) into Urdu for university students in Pakistan. The translation followed a standardized forward and backward process, followed by a pilot study. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed on a sample of 900 students (427 males, 473 females) with an average age of 24.38 years (SD = 3.45). The results indicated strong psychometric properties, demonstrating validity and reliability for both male and female participants. The Urdu version of the SIT-4 (comprehension domain) was found to be culturally and linguistically appropriate for this population.
