Schuhfried Vienna Test 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.

  Once the tests, test versions, or a test battery have been selected, the data is entered and the test program is started. Every test starts with instructions for the test subject which are usually displayed on the screen. In some cases - particularly with procedures on peripheral devices or in testing children not yet able to read - such instructions may have to be given orally by the test administrator.

  The next stage is the practice phase which ensures that the subject has understood the instructions. If a subject is not able to solve the tasks, he will be offered help. If he fails several times, he will be asked to contact the test administrator. In questionnaire-type tests completion of the items presented is usually so easy that difficulties will hardly ever arise. In tests requiring the subject to perform more complex tasks the instruction phase and the practice phase are frequently linked up and comprise several stages in conformity with the principles of programmed learning. This ensures that subjects will quickly understand what they are supposed to do.

  Next comes the test phase which continues automatically until the end of the test. If the examiner has a test system with a separate monitor for the test administrator, they will be able to carefully monitor test progress while already obtaining relevant diagnostic information, e.g. response tendencies. When a test or test battery has been completed it may be scored immediately.

  The computer summarizes the raw scores obtained and performs a comparison against norms. The results are compared against an overall sample or a selected sub-sample based on age, gender or level of education. For some tests representative normal samples are available: in most cases, as a minimum, a number of comparative samples (e.g. adults, children, psychiatric patients) are available. The results may be displayed in summary form on the screen or printed out.

  The printed results display the normal and comparative sample(s), raw and standard scores (usually percentile ranks and T-scores), and, if reliabilities are available, the confidence intervals of the standard scores. The raw scores of all non-standardized control variables and response time are shown in the Additional Results table.

Adaptive Matrices Test - AMT - 7 Year License

  System Overview

  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.

  The 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.

Theoretical background

The items resemble classical matrices, but they are based on explicit construction rules. Altogether, almost 300 items were created on the basis of these rules and they were evaluated with a large sample of people in an extensive study in Aachen (Germany), Katowice (Poland), Moscow (Russia), and Vienna (Austria). Probabilistic characteristic values were estimated for the items. The resulting item pool now allows for an adaptive test presentation with all advantages of modern computerized diagnostics: shorter administration time but improved measurement precision, and highly motivated respondents due to a selection of tasks that are adequate for each individual person taking this test.

  Administration

  The entry of answers is adaptive. It is not possible to omit an item or to return to the last one. The 9 answer options are designed to reduce guesses.

  Scoring

The person's parameter of the variable "General Intelligence" is calculated as the test value.

  Reliability

Because of the validity of the Rasch model, reliability in the sense of internal consistency is given. For the four test forms it has been set at a standard measurement error (SEM) of 0.63, 0.44, 0.39 and 0.63, corresponding to reliabilities of 0.70, 0.83, 0.86 and 0.70. This reliability applies to all respondents and at all scale levels. This is the central and significant advantage over other widely-used psychometric tests based on classical test theory: all respondents are assessed with equal reliability.

  Validity

According to Hornke, Etzel & Küppers (2000; Hornke, 2002), the construction rational correlates at 0.72 with the difficulty parameters. In addition, Sommer und Arendasy (2005; Sommer, Arendasy & Häusler, 2005) demonstrating using a confirmatory factor analysis that this test, together with tests of inductive and deductive thinking, loads onto the factor of fluid intelligence (Gf). Fluid intelligence was found to be the intelligence factor with the highest g-loading. A number of studies carried out in the fields of traffic and aviation psychology also confirm the test's criterion validity.

Norms

Norm data is available for an evaluation sample of N=1356 respondents and for a norm sample of N=461 respondents.

  Testing Time

  Between 20 and 60 minutes (including instruction and practice phase), depending on test form

Inductive Reasoning Test - FOLO - 7 Year License

System Overview

  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.

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

  Nonverbal logical thinking, as it is tested here, is fundamental for all occupations where abstract information is being processed.

  Application

  Non-verbal test which assesses nonverbal logical thinking on the basis of the recognition of rules and completing form sequences; applicable for people 15 years of age and over.

  Main areas of application: aptitude diagnostics in the performance area, industrial and organizational psychology, consulting regarding school, college, and career decisions.

Theoretical background

  The test is of inductive nature, i.e. aims at measuring the ability to derive a general rule from a specific case. FOLO belongs to the factor Reasoning ability (R). Reasoning ability is regarded as a fundamental dimension in all recognized models of intelligence (also in the g- factor theory). The various definitions of Reasoning ability encompass a broad spectrum: abstract thinking, relational thinking, analytical reasoning, sound judgment, etc. Reasoning ability is often considered the real core of intelligence.

  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.

  Validity

  The psychological validity is evident - the respondents think immediately of "logical thinking, analytical reasoning". The logical validity is given by the operational definition of "Inductive reasoning". Content validity has been proven through factor-analyses. Prognostic validity has been demonstrated for occupations demanding, among other things, a high degree of reasoning ability.

  Norms

Norms of a sample of 1147 Swedish adults are available. They are also available according to education level and age. Additionally there are norms of 192 Austrian adults, which are also available according to education level and age.

  Testing Time

  The testing time is 12 minutes. Add approximately three minutes for instructions and solving the practice items.

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.

  The 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

  A modular intelligence test battery constructed on theory-led principles and designed to measure work-related abilities both fairly and economically.

  Application

  Assessment of intelligence level and intelligence structure, for subjects age 14 and over.

  Decision-making in the fields of education, further education and career choice; ability-related aspects of aptitude assessment; educational psychology; work psychology, commercial / industrial and organizational psychology.

  Theoretical background

  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 (e.g. Brickley, Keith & Wolfe, 1995; Carroll, 1989; Gustafson, 1984; Horn & Stankov, 1982; Undheim & Gustafsson, 1987).

The following secondary factors were selected for the construction of the INSBAT, being ones which are of interest in practical areas of application such as work psychology, commercial / industrial and organizational psychology, and educational psychology:

     * Fluid intelligence: The ability to recognize relationships between stimuli, to understand implications and to draw logical conclusions (subtests: Numerical-inductive thinking, Figural-inductive thinking). Short-term memory: The ability to retain visual and verbal information in the short term and to reproduce it accurately (subtests: visual short-term memory).

    * Crystallised intelligence: The breadth and depth of acquired cultural knowledge such as word fluency and the understanding of language and words (subtests:Lexical Knowledge, Verbal Fluency).

    * Short-term memory: the ability to retain visual and verbal information in the short term and to reproduce it accurately (subtests: Visual Short-term Memory, Verbal Short-term Memory).

    * Long-term memory: the ability to retain information in the longer term, integrate it into one's own knowledge base and recall it accurately (subtest: Long-term Memory).

    * Visual processing: the ability to imagine how objects will look after they have been mentally rotated or transformed (subtest: Spatial Perception).

    * Processing speed: defined as the number of basal cognitive operations which can be carried out in INSBAT Intelligence Structure Battery

    * Decision quality: defined as the number of basal cognitive operations required in order to make a fast and accurate decision in the context of non-trivial tasks(subtest: Decision Quality).

    * Quantitative reasoning: the ability to understand and apply mathematical skills and concepts (subtests: Computational Estimation, Arithmetical Competence, Numerical Flexibility, Algebraic Reasoning).

 

In all there are therefore 15 subtests available. The items of the individual subtests have been devised with the aid of various approaches to Automatic Item Generation (AIG: Arendasy & Sommer, in press; Irvine & Kyllonen, 2002), taking account of up-to-date research findings in the cognitive sciences and applied psychometrics.

  The items were constructed either by human item writers or completely automatically using item generators. With regard to the psychometric properties of the item material it was considered important that 1) the items of the individual subtests should be scaleable in accordance with the 1PL Rasch model and 2) the theoretical model on which the items are based should be able to explain at least 50% of the variance in the item difficulty parameters. This has the advantages for the practitioner of scaling fairness and unambiguity of interpretation of the individual subtest results.

  Administration

  The INSBAT has been designed as a modular intelligence test battery. This means that only those subtests that are relevant to the purpose of the particular assessment situation need to be presented. This can be done using the Variable Form I (S1) or the Variable Form II (S2). While Form S1 allows only for the choice of subtests to be changed, Form S2 incorporates the additional possibility of changing the order of the subtests and the end conditions of the adaptive tests in line with the requirements of the test situation. These two test forms are particularly useful for predicting educational and career success in fields where there are clearly defined requirement profiles. For the differentiated assessment of intelligence level and intelligence structure each secondary factor should be measured by a marker subtest (Figural Inductive Reasoning, Lexical Knowledge, Visual Short-term Memory, Long-term Memory, Spatial Perception, and Inspection Time). To complement the picture a second subtest can be administered for each secondary factor, thus ensuring that the whole breadth of the secondary factor's content is adequately covered. This approach is realised in the Global Form (S3). According to Schmidt and Hunter (1998), this testing method is particularly suitable for predicting the work-related performance of people in occupations involving very diverse and heterogeneous activities. If insufficient time is available for the separate assessment of an individual's different abilities, the Short Form (S4) can be used.

  Each subtest is provided with standardised instructions and practice examples based on the principles of programmed instruction and "mastery learning". Depending on the subtest, the subject's answers are given either in multiple choice format or as automated free responses. The tasks in the individual subtests are presented partly in power test form and partly with a time limit on each item. In 11 of the subtests the items are presented as an adaptive test (CAT) with the test starting point being selected on the basis of socio-demographic data; this maximizes the information gained without using items that are either too easy or too difficult for the respondent.

  Test forms

  Four test forms are available:

Form S1 (variable form 1)

Form S2 (variable form II)

Form S3 (global form)

Form S4 (short form)

  Scoring

  For each of the selected subtests the ability parameter in accordance with the Rasch model is reported. While the number of correctly worked items is merely a measure of an individual's performance, the ability parameter makes it possible to estimate the underlying, latent ability dimension. This represents an important and at the same time diagnostically necessary inferential step. This inferential step is, however, linked to the fit of the Rasch model, which has been demonstrated for the subtests of the INSBAT (cf. van der Linden & Hambelton, 1997).

  If more than one subtest relating to a particular secondary factor has been selected, an ability parameter is calculated for that secondary factor. The ability parameter for the general factor general intelligence (G) is calculated if at least one subtest has been selected for four of the six secondary factors fluid intelligence (Gf), crystallised intelligence (Gc), visual processing (Gv), quantitative reasoning (Gq), short-term memory (Gstm) and long-term memory (Gltm). Alongside the provision of the ability parameters and factor scores a norm comparison (percentile ranks and IQ; confidence interval) is carried out. At the conclusion of testing the results are displayed both in tabular form and as a profile, and these can be printed out. The test protocol for each subtest provides a record of the latency times for each item, the selected answer, scoring information and statistics relating to the adaptive process.

In addition the INSBAT has provision for transferring the test results automatically into a report template.

Reliability

  Due to the adaptive presentation mode used in some subtests and the validity of a probabilistic test model that this requires, any desired level of reliabiity can be achieved. For reasons of economy the reliability of the individual task groups lies between r = .70 and r = .95. The stability of the subtests after some 15 months fluctuates between r= .63 and r = .87.

Validity

  The construct representation (Embretson, 1983) of the individual INSBAT subtests has been demonstrated in studies in which the item difficulties were predicted from task characteristics derived from the theoretical models for the solving of these types of tasks. The multiple correlations between the item difficulty parameters of the Rasch model (Rasch, 1980) and the item characteristics thus obtained fluctuate for the individual subtests between R=0.70 and R=0.97. This means that between 50% and 94% of the difference in the difficulties of the individual items can be explained by the theoretical models on which construction of the items in the individual subtests is based.

  In addition, a number of studies of the nomothetic span (Embretson, 1983) of the individual subtests are now available. A study by Sommer and Arendasy (2005; Sommer, Arendasy & Häusler, 2005) provided evidence of construct validity for the test battery as a whole and for the global form and short form. By means of a confirmatory factor analysis the authors were able to confirm the theory-led assignment of the individual subtests to the secondary factors of the Cattell- Horn-Carroll model. These results were supplemented by studies carried out by Arendasy and Sommer (2007) and Arendasy, Hergovich and Sommer (2008), in which the results previously reported were replicated on an independent sample using alternative subtests.

Evidence of the criterion validity of the individual INSBAT subtests has come from the fields of aviation psychology (selection of trainee pilots) and educational counselling (prediction of student success at universities of applied sciences).

Norms

Norms are available for 904 adults aged between 16 and 73, as well as norms of a sample of 1595 young people aged between 12 and 15. Both norms are also available separated according to age, gender and education.

  Testing time

The time required for completing the Variable Form I (S1) and the Variable Form II (S2) depends on the subtests selected and the chosen reliability. The length of the individual subtests varies between 3 and 40 minutes. In the case of forms S3 and S4, which consist of a fixed sequence of subtests, the time required for the tests is 2 hours 52 minutes and 1 hour 27 minutes respectively.

Adaptive Test for Assessment of Numerical Flexibility - ANF - 7 Year License

  System Overview

  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.

  The 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 ANF is the first test on the market to provide an adaptive and fair assessment of cognitive flexibility in the area of mathematical problem solving.

  Application

  The Adaptive test for assessment of numerical flexibility is a tool for assessing flexibility in the area of mathematical problem solving. This is one of the important sub-dimensions of the secondary factor "quantitative thinking" which forms part of the modified Gf-Gc theory (Horn & Noll, 1997).

  Main areas of application: aptitude testing, aviation psychology, and educational psychology.

  Theoretical background

  Quantitative thinking is an important second order factor both in the three-stratum theory (Carroll, 1993) and in Horn's modified Gf-Gc theory. (Horn, 1989; Horn & Noll, 1997). It covers not only number comprehension but also the understanding of basic arithmetical operations and mathematical principles and the ability to apply them. The Adaptive Test for the Measurement of Numerical Flexibility measures the flexible use of cognitive resources through the application of basic arithmetical operations to the solving of abstract numerical problems.

  Administration

  Items are presented adaptively, so that after the initial phase the process of presenting only those items which are appropriate to the respondent's ability is increasingly refined. It is not possible to omit an item or to return to a preceding one.

  Each item presents the respondent with a series of unrelated operands and a target number or answer. From a list of the four basic arithmetical operations the respondent has to select the operators which, when applied, will produce the given answer. Because any of the four operations can be used as often as required the probability of arriving at the correct answer by guesswork is very low.

  Test forms

  There are two adaptive test forms which differ in their pre-set precision of measurement (standard estimation error) of the person parameter estimate.

  Scoring

  The test yields an estimate of the respondent's numerical flexibility. The estimate is made on the basis of the dichotomous logistical model of Rasch (1980) using an exact parameter estimate process (Fischer, 2000). In addition a percentile ranking is provided based on comparison with a norm sample.

  Reliability

  Reliability in the sense of internal consistency is given as a result of the validity of the Rasch model. Precision is represented for the short form by a critical standard estimation error of 0.55, which corresponds to a reliability of 0.70. For the standard form the critical standard estimation error is 0.50, corresponding to a reliability of 0.75. In contrast to linear test forms the quoted precision applies to all respondents across all parts of the range. This represents a decisive advantage over conventional psychometric tests constructed on the basis of classical test theory.

  Validity

  Studies are available both of the construct representation and of the convergent and discriminant validity of the Adaptive Numerical Flexibility Test; these demonstrate the construct validity of the test.

  Norms

  Norms are available (overall norm, and separated by gender and educational level) for a sample of N=1362 individuals (585 men, 777 women; age range 15-52). The data was collected at the end of 2004 and beginning of 2005.

  Testing time

  The time required for the test is between 30 and 45 minutes.
