Mindware System

The Schuhfried VTS enables computer-assisted application of a large number of highly diverse psycho-diagnostic tests and measuring procedures. In developing the system much emphasis was placed on transparent structure and largely uniform design. It is therefore simple to operate and easy to understand and does not require any special computer skills.

This VTS basic module is required for administration of any of the available tests. The Schuhfried VTS supports the administration of both single tests and test batteries. Many of the single tests are available in different test versions. These test versions may differ, for example, in terms of test duration or difficulty or may be parallel forms. They are characterized by different parameters reflecting specific test requirements. They have been designed for administration to a specific population (e.g. psychiatric patients, children, etc.) or for special measuring purposes (e.g. repeated measurements). Test batteries are compiled from the available single tests and test versions.

Overview
The relation between test length and measurement precision is optimized. The AMT requires fewer items than most non-verbal intelligence tests for more accurate calculations.

Application

This test is a non-verbal assessment of the general intelligence based on eductive thinking, and is thus mainly independent of cultural and social backgrounds; it can be applied to persons aged 15 years and over.

Main areas of application: performance-oriented aptitude diagnostics, consulting regarding school, college, and career decisions, traffic psychology, industrial, and organizational psychology, aviation psychology, sports psychology.

Administration
A series of six figures, based on a specific logical system, is presented. The respondent has to determine which two figures out of eight options represent a meaningful continuation of the series.

Test forms
There is one test form consisting of 25 items.

Scoring
Each correct answer is given a point. The number of correctly solved items constitutes the overall performance.

Reliability
The split-half reliability coefficients vary between r =0.89 and 0.91 for respondents with different educational levels.

As a decision-oriented psychological assessment tool the INSBAT is constructed modularly, so that only items of a type relevant to the purpose of the investigation need to be presented.

The theoretical basis is the hierarchical Gf-Gc theory of Horn (1989; Horn & Noll, 1997) and the Three Layer theory of Carroll (2003) which is a further development of the Gf-Gc theory. Working on the inter-correlations between individual measures of the primary factors, Horn and Cattell (1978) extracted nine broadly based second order factors which together provide a global assessment of an individual’s intellectual ability. The validity of this factor structure has been confirmed in a number of replicative studies carried out in different parts of the world
