Cerebrals Cognitive Ability Tests (CCAT) [136 questions]  
  Xavier Jouve, Maria Faverio, Michael Woodley, Karin Lindgren & James Watterson (2003)  
 

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.

Figure Design Test [20 questions]  
  Xavier Jouve & Gilles Bernard (2004)  
 
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.

Test of Inductive Reasoning (TRI52) - Norms are for 16 to 80+ years old only! [52 questions]  
  Xavier Jouve (2003)  
 
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.
