This
psychometric tool is a computerized culture based cognitive
abilities battery. The test-taking is currently free and
automatically done!
Recently revised, the scale is normed for both teenagers and adults (up to 75 years old). It yields with a confidence interval of score for Verbal Ability and for Crystallized-Educational domain. Very highly reliable (alpha coefficient of .95 for the verbal scale to .96 for the full scale) and untimed, the CCAT scale is suitable for assessing english-language natives through average, superior and very superior ranges of ability limiting the effect of stress and anxiety. Validity studies have shown the CCAT to be closely related to Verbal IQ and Scholastic ability. It's also positively correlated with nonverbal ability.
We wished to use it as at least a pre-admission method in the future. We need to collect new data in order to perform more psychometric analyses on criterion related validity, so we're looking for poeple who already took the reasoning tests of the SAT, the ACT and other tests such as the WAIS, etc.

This test is an original
and very powerfull computer adaptation done by Gilles Bernard
of the well-known Kohs' Block Design test type. It gathers
20 visual coloured figures that must be reproduced by the
test-taker. The FD test chielfy measures the visualisation
factor which is one of the main traits into the factorial
structure of general cognitive abilities. It also gives
an indication of perceptual speed and short-term memory
along with other experimental modalities. |

This
professional test is a computerized nonverbal intelligence
test designed to assess one's eductive ability. It is prepared
with figurative items. With excellent reliability coefficients ( Guttman = .92, etc.),
the TRI have shown very high correlations with
both the SAT I sum of scaled scores, and the SAT I Mathematical
reasoning test scaled score ( r = .86). It also very highly correlates
with traditional intelligence tests such as the WAIS-III or the
SIT-R ( r = ~.70). Thanks to the nonverbal nature of its items, this
test is suitable for testing persons without cultural bias. |
