About CogniTest & Psychometric Methodology

Why Beyond Mensa? The CHC Paradigm

Traditional high-IQ societies like Mensa historically rely on single-construct evaluations (such as Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices or Cattell Culture Fair III). While excellent at evaluating non-verbal Fluid Reasoning ($G_f$), modern psychometrics has proven that human intellect is multi-dimensional.

CogniTest builds upon the renowned Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) Theory of Cognitive Abilities and clinical standards (such as the WAIS-IV scale), evaluating 5 distinct cognitive pillars:

• Fluid Intelligence ($G_f$): Pure pattern recognition and deductive matrix transformation.
• Quantitative Reasoning ($G_q$): Mathematical logic, rates, and sequence deduction.
• Visual-Spatial Processing ($G_v$): 3D mental rotation, cube folding, and structural topology.
• Working Memory ($G_{wm}$): Information retention, sequential reversals, and register shifts.
• Verbal & Relational Knowledge ($G_c$): Analogies and epistemological syllogisms across 8 languages.

Gaussian Distribution & Standardization

Scores are normalized on the worldwide standard Gaussian distribution: Mean ($\mu = 100$) and Standard Deviation ($\sigma = 15$).
