Abstract:

A study was conducted in which performance on a non-verbal problem- solving task was correlated with the Otis Quick Scoring Mental Ability Test and the Raven Progressive Matrices Test. The problem-solving task, called 'code- lock' required the subject to determine the correct sequence in which to push five buttons in order to turn on a light. Measures of how quickly the subject responded and how many errors were made on each problem were taken from 45 college student volunteers.

Results indicated substantial correlations (.50 to .60) between time measures on the code-lock task and the Otis but very limited relationships between the Raven and each code-lock measure. The implications of these findings for assessment of intellectual abilities are discussed.
