Detailed Description+

Measures general cognitive ability and specific performance indicators for logical-, verbal and numerical reasoning, visual-spatial ability as well as long-term memory.

The main areas of application of the INT are the areas of staff & management assessments, jobs & career placement, safety & security, and academic testing.

Test forms+

Two test forms are available. They differ regarding the presentation of the item material and the content of the item. The item material of the test forms does not overlap.

The test form S1 consists of five subtests and is intended only for supervised administration. The items are presented linearly.

The standard form S2 consists of five subtests and can be used for testing without supervision. The items of the test form can be presented in linear, randomized or adaptive form.

Task+

In the subtest Logical Reasoning the respondent’s task is to select a field from an item with nine fields that does not follow the same rules as the other eight fields.

In the subtest Numerical Ability the respondent is shown equations without any arithmetical signs. The respondent's task is to select the arithmetical signs so that the equation is correct.

The task in the Verbal Ability subtest is to correctly recognize and apply lexical relations.

In the subtest Visual-spatial ability the respondent is shown an object from two different perspectives. The respondent's task is to correctly recognize from which perspective the start view needs to be looked at to be identical to the target view. 

In the subtest Long-term memory, the respondent must memorize information during a learning phase and later recall it during a test phase in order to answer questions on the information memorized earlier.

Scoring+

The following main variables are scored:

General cognitive ability: The variable cognitive ability allows an overall assessment of general cognitive ability and covers logical reasoning, numerical and verbal abilities, visual-spatial ability as well as long-term memory.

Logical reasoning: A measure of the ability to solve new problems using inductive thinking processes.

Verbal reasoning: A measure for the ability to understand the meaning of words and their underlying concepts, to relate them to one another, and to draw conclusions from them.

Numerical reasoning: The knowledge of basic arithmetical operations as well as the ability to derive mathematical solutions from them.

Visual-spatial ability: The ability to picture objects spatially in one's mind and rotate them mentally.

Long-term memory: This variable measures the respondent’s ability to remember information effectively in the long term, to integrate it into their own knowledge base, and to recall and re-use it when required.

The main variables are calculated as factor scores based on the results of confirmatory factor analyses. In addition, the corresponding norm-referenced score including the confidence interval is also reported.
