MANUAL FOR KIT OF REFERENCE TESTS FOR COGNITIVE FACTORS (REVISED 1963)
Abstract
The tests in this Kit are suggested for use in factorial studies where representation is desired for any of the following named aptitude or achievement factors: flexibility of closure; speed of closure; associational fluency; expressional fluency; ideational fluency; word fluency; induction; length estimation; associative (rote) memory; mechanical knowledge; memory span; number facility; originality; perceptual speed; general reasoning; semandefinition; syllogistic reasoning; spatial orientation; sensitivity to problems; spatial scanning; verbal comprehension; visualization; figural adaptive flexibility; and semantic spontaneous flexibility. The purpose of the Kit is to provide research workers with a set of tests for defining each of these factor. The use of the Kit tests for this purpose will facilitate interpretation and the confident comparison of one factor study with another. Use of the Kit tests should provide this common ground for the objective comparison of factors. This manual does not provide the usual reliability, norming, validity, or other information ordinarily expected in a test manual. Such information has not been included because these tests are suggested for the single purpose of factorial research.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
