The purpose of this study was to standardize the Korean version of the Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration, Sixth edition (Beery VMI-6) and to examine its reliability and validity. The subjects comprised 1,882 Koreans ranging in age from 2 to 90 years. In addition, 144 children and adults with intellectual disability were included for the construct validity study as a clinical sample. The VMI-6 demonstrated good to excellent internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and inter-rater reliability. For the criterion-related validity, the correlations with the BGT-II and the K-DTVP-2 ranged from low to reasonably high. Construct validity was supported by significant correlations with the K-WAIS-IV, the K-WISC-IV, the K-Vineland-II, and the K-WFA. Specifically, those tests and the VMI-6 subtests yielded high correlations within intellectual disability groups. In addition, scores from the clinical sample were significantly low, which provides important validity evidence for the VMI-6 as a screening test. This study confirmed that the VMI-6 has adequate reliability and validity for estimating visual-motor integration ability.
