Language, culture and what a test can fairly claim
A reasoning test administered in a second language measures reading fluency alongside reasoning, and the two are hard to separate afterwards.
Why verbal items travel badly
Analogies depend on vocabulary and idiom. Translate them and the difficulty changes, sometimes drastically, because near-synonyms rarely match across languages.
What travels better
Matrices, number series, spatial rotation and digit span depend far less on language, which is why culture-reduced batteries lean on them.
The balance we strike
Four of the eight families are effectively language-independent, and verbal items keep everyday register rather than literary vocabulary.

Questions people ask
Is the test available in Hindi or Tamil?
Not yet. Translating items properly means re-norming them, not just rewriting the words.
Does English fluency affect my score?
On the verbal and deduction families, yes. The family breakdown makes that visible.
