| Validity | Construct Validity: The items on this test were chosen by a team of psychologists, senior corporate executives, university academicians, statisticians and other relevant personnel after numerous consultations. These items are continuously reevaluated and updated depending on relevant statistical data. Concurrent validity occurs when the criterion measures are obtained at the same time as the test scores. This indicates the extent to which the test scores accurately estimate an individual’s current state with regards to the criterion. For example, on the Corporate IQ Test, concurrent validity is established by comparing candidates’ scores to their current functioning within companies and/or to their academic performance, as it is deemed appropriate. It is expected that candidates with higher IQ scores perform well on company tasks and academic endeavors. This was found to be true during recurrent validation studies, thus establishing the criterion/concurrent validity of the test. |
| Comparison groups available for your candidate scores | Analyses are done on a sample of 284 candidates who completed the test between January and May 2010 consisting of males and females with an age range of 18 to 63 years. The educational level of candidates ranged from diploma/vocational training to masters level from diffrent geographical locations including Europe, Asia, Africa, North America and other locations. |
