The
Power-scale is the new denomination of the new version of the 916 test in three
parts.
In the spirit of the Weschler intelligence scale, this comprehensive multi-factorial approach is intended to increase significantly the ceiling of the existing official and proctored intelligence scales and culture-free type IQ tests.
The main
characteristics of the Power-scale are its high difficulty and its consequently
untimed and unproctored nature.
The Power-scale is constituted of three parts: the 916 Test, the Hyper-Test and the Concep-T Test.
Each of
these parts constitutes an autonomous IQ test. You can choose to
pass as much parts as you want; there is a specific scoring for each part and a
global score. All the combinations are foreseen. See the SCORING SCALE.
Of course, the most accurate evaluation of the range of your potential will be given by the Power-scale!
The entire subtests A and B, and the most part of subtest C of the 916 Test and the entire Hyper-Test don’t require any knowledge; all the symbols are fluid. The Concep-T Test is culturally biased in a significant measure.
The 916 Test is intended to measure the logico-divergent ability.
The Hyper-Test is intended to measure the power of reasoning.
The
Concep-T Test is intended to measure the crystallized intelligence and the
power of reasoning with abstract concepts.
The Power-scale is an admission test for the SIGMA, the ISI-S and the UGG Societies, and potentially for several other
societies (Cerebrals, Glia, Poetic Genius, Pi, Mega…).
See the PROJECTED NORMS
A non expected but pertinent answer will be taken into
account in the raw score, and weighted according to its degree of quality.
There is
no time limit; material help allowed: books, calculator, computer, internet…,
corrections and additions are not accepted; no discussion with others, no help
from anyone in any way.
Requisites :
logic, imagination, shrewdness, minimal general knowledge, and a very very good
sense of observation.
When you
think you have found the correct answer, you have to wonder if your most severe
imaginary critics would be convinced by your solution.
Send your
answers to 916test@caramail.com
or to
the following address: Laurent Dubois, rue Beaulieusart, 148,
Fontaine-L’Evêque, 6140, Belgium.
Please include your name, age, gender, e-mail address,
and native language. If relevant, please list scores on previously-taken IQ
tests, along with the names of the tests. It’s important to
normalize the “Power-scale”. Thanks
for your comprehension.
The most
part of the items in classical IQ tests are static, symmetric and qualitatively
limited.
The 916 Test and the Concep-T Test contain conceptual items of very high quality, which contribute to make them highly “g” loaded, especially the 916 Test which shows a high correlation with the Raven Advanced Progressive Matrices; the Hyper-Test contains some very challenging “dynamic” items.
The “IQ”
(>< IEQ) score notion remains pertinent since it has always been
indistinctly used to give the score to either a Weschler-type intelligence
scale either a RAPM-type culture-free test, and that the Power-scale and its
three components intend to improve these classical scales and tests.
