1. Psychometric Principles
Inspired by the paper “Intelligence and Issues with Assessment”, the test reflects:
- Construct validity: Questions are designed to activate latent traits like reasoning and problem-solving.
- Content diversity: Avoids cultural or linguistic bias by using abstract logic and universal concepts.
- Standardization: All questions are multiple-choice and scored uniformly.
2. Multiple Cognitive Domains Covered
The test includes questions from five major areas of intelligence:
| Domain | Skills Assessed | Example Question Type |
|---|---|---|
| Logical Reasoning | Deductive and inductive logic | Syllogisms, pattern recognition |
| Numerical Reasoning | Arithmetic, sequences, and mathematical logic | Number series, missing numbers |
| Verbal Reasoning | Vocabulary, analogies, and language comprehension | Synonyms, odd-one-out, analogies |
| Abstract/Spatial | Visual pattern recognition and spatial manipulation | Odd-one-out shapes, visual logic |
| Short-Term Memory | Retention and recall of patterns or sequences | (Can be added with memory-based tasks) |
3. Balanced Difficulty
- The test includes easy, moderate, and challenging questions.
- This helps differentiate between a wide range of ability levels.
4. Scoring and IQ Estimation
- The test uses a normalized scoring system to estimate an IQ score.
- It provides personalized recommendations based on score bands:
- Gifted
- Above Average
- Average
- Below Average
- Low Range
