Objective: This research aimed to examine the diagnostic validity of the new version of the Tehran-Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale in students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Method: In this research, 123 students with ADHD were selected from the counseling centers of Tehran affiliated with the Ministry of Education, private clinics (with permission of the Psychological Organization or the State Welfare Organization of Iran), and Hajar Hospital. The validity coefficients were evaluated using Cronbach's alpha, spilt-half, and test-retest methods, and the measurement error was obtained. The instrument was the new version of the Tehran-Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale. Also, the focus axis was used in order to examine the diagnostic value, and the sensitivity coefficient was calculated to interpret the diagnostic validity. Results: The findings of the psychometric analysis indicated that the instrument has optimal validity for students with ADHD. Conclusion: This instrument can be used as a valid tool for the screening, diagnosis, and identification of ADHD.
