This study examined the cultural adaptation of the Multidimensional Aptitude Battery II in Romania. Cultural adaptation of the items and the standardization process are described. The psychometric characteristics of the Romanian version are shown to be excellent in terms of reliability and construct validity (intertest correlations and EFA). Further studies conducted in Romania are discussed, both on the correlation with other cognitive ability tests and on the criterion validity of the MAB-II.
