The questionnaire has been prepared with both verbal and nonverbal items. One must take both parts to participate. For practical reasons, only one try is accepted, please take your time to work, and submit your answers only after having given your best. The unique procedure for submitting answers is the use of the computerized version.

The two parts of the contest are called What’s next? and Which word?, and both gather fifty items. Each one counts 1 point, and there’s no disadvantage for wrong answers, therefore maximum possible raw scores for the parts and the composite scale are 50 and 100 respectively. Correct spelling of words in the verbal part isn’t mandatory as long as the word is still phonetically understandable.

The top 50 contestants will be ranked on the website and will be invited to take a professional intelligence test online to join the Cerebrals Society.

The CCAT is battery divided into three subtests: Verbal Analogies (VA), Mathematical Problems (MP) and General Knowledge (GK) of respectively 42, 38 and 56 items. Each part measures a distinct ability, and once taken as a whole, these tasks give a reasonably good estimate of general crystallized intelligence and scholastic ability.

As a psychometric tool, the CCAT shows both excellent reliability and criterion-related-validity. Reliability of the full CCAT as checked by Spearman-Brown corrected Split-Half coefficient proved to be very highly satisfactory (.96). This ensures an acceptable measurement error (5.285) and a fair stability of measurement. Furthermore, the Verbal Ability scale resulted from the addition of VA and GK subtests demonstrated sufficient level of reliability for being interpreted as an individual measure (.95).

Correlations shown by the CCAT Indexes with other measures are within the expectations. Validity of both the full and the verbal scales was confirmed by very high correlations with the Reynolds Intellectual Assessment Scales (RIAS) Verbal Index (.89). Moreover, the CCAT was closely related to the Scholastic Aptitude Test I (.84), and both the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale III (WAIS-III) Full Scale IQ (.94) and Verbal IQ (.89) for the studied samples. In other words, the CCAT is an appropriate measure of one's crystallized-educational processing likewise for predicting a wide range of cognitive functioning.

Norms have been established by comparing CCAT scores with RAIS VIX and WAIS-III FSIQ, VIQ. RAIS VIX changes over years were then used to adjust CCAT indexes and produce age-referenced norms. The scale is suitable for both adolescents and adults (up to 75 years old). The computerized version yields with a confidence interval for both the Verbal Ability and the Crystallized-Educational indexes in ages 16 - 75 years. Moreover, it provides individual raw score for each subtest and norms for younger adolescents are available upon request.

The CCAT is accepted for admission purposes by both the High Potential Society and the Poetic Genius Society; requisite is 130 IQ and 139 IQ respectively. If you wish to use CCAT indexes in this regard, please contact the testing service prior to take the tests.

We are collecting data in order to perform more psychometric analyses on criterion related validity. Consequently, we are looking for poeple who already took the reasoning tests of the SAT, the ACT and other tests such as the WAIS IQ scale. Thank you very much for your help!

The TRI52 is a computerized nonverbal intelligence test designed with 52 figurative items which don't require acquired knowledge.

With excellent Guttman reliability coefficient (.92), the TRI shown very high correlations with both the Scholastic Aptitude Test I (SAT I) composite score, and the SAT I Mathematical reasoning test scaled score (.86).

It also very highly correlates with IQ on traditional intelligence tests such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale III (WAIS-III) Full Scale IQ or the Slosson Intelligence Test - Revised (SIT-R3) Total Standard Score (.70).

Thanks to the nonverbal nature of its items, this test is suitable for testing persons without cultural bias. It yields with an age-referenced Standard Score equated on the SAT I M.

The TRI52 is accepted for admission purposes by both the High Potential Society; requisite is 130 IQ. If you wish to use TRI52 in this regard, please contact the testing service prior to take the tests.
