In this article, you will read about the section intelligence and how it is measured.

Intelligence

Under the summary section, you'll find the heading intelligence. In this section, cognitive intelligence is assessed. Cognitive intelligence determines to what extent someone is able to acquire knowledge in order to solve problems that have a fixed goal and structure.

The displayed score indicates the percentage of the reference group that has achieved a lower score than the candidate. If a candidate scores between 40-60, they score on average for this level of work and thinking.

The total score combines the scores of verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, and abstract reasoning. This score reflects someone's overall intelligence.

• Abstract: The extent to which someone can think abstractly, separate main and side issues, and see things in a broader context.
• Numerical: The extent to which someone is able to draw logical conclusions from numerical data.
• Verbal: The level of someone's vocabulary, language skills, and the extent to which someone can analyse the logic of arguments.

The score is compared to a specific educational level. You can choose between community college (MBO), college (HBO), or university (WO) level.

Speed and accuracy

Lastly, you can also gain insight into how the candidate completed the test. You can see the speed and accuracy. Speed indicates how many questions the candidate has answered compared to the norm group. Accuracy is the percentage of correct answers out of the total number of answered questions compared to the norm group.
