Ace general problem solving high precision questionnaire

ACE is a cognitive ability test based on the theory of g-factor. ACE evaluates the competence for logical analytical reasoning – the competence to identify patterns and complex relations in information, to draw conclusions, and to drive results. Three cognitive domains are available in ACE:

ACE is built on Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) technology. This means that ACE measures a person’s maximum cognitive potential by automatically adjusting the level of difficulty of its questions to the test taker’s ability level.

ACE has several national as well as international norms available. The combined norm samples contain more than 32,000 responses.

ACE is available in Danish, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish.

When choosing a test tool, we recommend that you pay attention to its validity and reliability. Extensive documentation has been performed to provide evidence of reliability and validity.

Validity

• Criterion validity: ACE Criteria, has been shown to predict higher job performance in sales, at a large retail company (r = 0.42 for Spatial Ability).
• Construct validity: computer simulation studies of ACE show a correlation of r = 0.89 between true and estimated scores. ACE is based on a previous Master g-factor test with a high correlation (r = 0.7) with the well-established g-factor test Ravens Advanced Progressive Matrices (APM).
• Differential Item Functioning (DIF): DIF was rejected across gender, employment level, and education. This shows that ACE performs equally well across different groups.

Reliability

• Reliability (1-SE2): Standard precision = 0.71 and High precision = 0.83
