24 Better to see once than hear a hundred timesWords are not always worth trusting; It is preferable to see something with your own eyes than to listen to the testimony of other people.
25 Add the first numberIn Russian schools until around the beginning of the 20th century, students were flogged every week, regardless of who was right or wrong. And if the “mentor” overdoes it, then such a spanking would last for a long time, until the first day of the next month.

29 The word is silver and silence is goldThe words spoken are of great importance. But by holding your tongue in time, you can sometimes do much better than by speaking out.

Therefore, if something global is happening, expect trouble - ordinary people need to seek shelter, because the “chips” will fall on them.
32 Friend is known in troubleA true friend is someone who comes to the rescue in misfortune or helps solve a problem. This is the only way to recognize a true friend: by your willingness to help. You cannot yet call real friends those with whom you simply have fun or communicate when everything is fine with you. It is still unknown how they will behave if you feel bad, whether they will need you. Friend, his sincere feelings for you and willingness to help can only be tested in a problematic situation.
33 A kind word to a man is like rain in a droughtThe word has great power. In difficult times, a kind word of support can encourage a person, breathe life into him, and strengthen his strength. It's like a sip of water that quenches your thirst.
34 Your anger is your enemyWhen angry, a person is capable of very bad things. In anger, a person does not understand the words he speaks. Therefore, you need to deal with anger the same way as with an enemy: try not to let it get to you, and not allow it to control you.
35 The mountain gave birth to a mouseThis is what they say about high hopes but little results, about someone who promises a lot but delivers little.

Before carrying out the technique, the experimenter must carefully read the tasks and during the examination procedure clearly pronounce the number of the square in which the next task will be performed, since the numbers of tasks and squares on the test subject’s form do not match.
The assessment is made based on the number of errors. An error is any task that is missed, not completed, or completed with an error.
Completion rate:
0-4 errors – high lability, good learning ability;
5-9 errors – average lability;
10-14 errors – low lability, difficulties in retraining;
15 or more mistakes mean little success in any activity.
The test requires little time to conduct testing and process the results, but at the same time it gives a fairly accurate forecast of professional suitability.

The test is designed to diagnose the general level of intellectual abilities. The CAT is an adaptation of the Wonderlic test. The CAT technique belongs to the category of tests of mental abilities (IQ), indicating the general level of intellectual development of an individual. In tests to determine IQ, an individual is presented with a series of tasks selected in such a way as to ensure an adequate sampling of all the most important intellectual functions to penetrate the “critical points of intelligence.” CAT provides psychodiagnostics of the following parameters of intelligence: ability to generalize and analyze, flexibility of thinking, speed and accuracy of material perception, literacy, choice of optimal strategy, etc.
The KOT questionnaire was developed as a screening questionnaire for people applying for further education. The CAT test also allows you to obtain a detailed description of the formation of a subject’s cognitive adaptation in the world as a whole. The CAT technique is used in the preliminary selection and distribution of personnel in industry, the army, the education system, career guidance work, psychodiagnostics of learning ability and business qualities of an individual.

Scales: thinking (generalization, analysis, flexibility, inertia, switchability), perception (speed, accuracy, distractibility), attention (distribution, switchability), speech (language use, literacy), imagination (spatial)

Purpose of the test

Determination of the integral indicator of general abilities.

Integral indicator of general mental abilities(Ip) is equal to the number of correctly solved problems.

Interpretation of test results

It is advisable to begin analyzing the results by determining the level of general mental abilities. To do this, the number of correctly solved problems (IP) is correlated with the level scale.

The established level is a multi-parameter indicator of general abilities. This technique allows you to isolate these parameters and analyze them.

Ability to summarize and analyze material are established on the basis of completing tasks on proverbs. These tasks require abstraction from a specific phrase and a transition to the area of ​​interpretation of meanings, establishing their intersections and a new return to specific phrases.

Flexibility of thinking as a component of general abilities is also determined by completing tasks on proverbs. If the subject’s associations are chaotic in nature, then we can talk about rigidity of thinking (for example, tasks such as No. 11).

Inertia of thinking and switchability - these are important characteristics of general learning abilities. To diagnose them, a special arrangement of tasks in this test is provided. The alternation of different types of tasks in the text can make it difficult for people with inert connections from past experience to solve them. Such persons have difficulty changing their chosen way of working, are not inclined to change the course of their judgments, or switch from one type of activity to another. Their intellectual processes are inactive, the pace of work is slow.

Emotional components of thinking and distractibility are identified by tasks that can reduce the test scores of subjects (24, 27, 31, etc.). Emotionally reacting subjects begin to smile and turn to the experimenter instead of being directed at the object, that is, the task.

Speed ​​and accuracy of perception, distribution and concentration of attention are determined by tasks No. 8 and 13. They reveal the ability to work with a wide variety of material in a short time, highlight the main contents, compare numbers, signs, etc.

Language use, literacy can be analyzed based on the performance of tasks on the ability to use the language. Task No. 8 assumes basic knowledge of a foreign language (within the alphabet).

Orientation is established through analysis of the test subject’s strategy for choosing problems to solve. Some subjects solve all problems in a row. Others - only those that are easy for them and solved quickly. Determining the ease of a solution is very individual. Here, in addition, the inclinations of the test takers are revealed. Some of them look at the tasks printed on this test sheet and first select mathematical problems that have numerical content, while others, using this strategy, prefer verbal problems.

Spatial imagination characterized by solving four problems involving operations in two-dimensional space.

Thus, the CAT technique can be used to study a relatively large number of components of general abilities. With its help, a person’s learning ability and business qualities are quite reliably predicted.

  • For example, if a subject has not completed tasks No. 10, 13, then he should be recommended exercises that develop concentration and distribution of attention.
  • If the subject does not cope well with tasks of type No. 2, 5, 6, then in this case he will be helped by reading explanatory dictionaries, dictionaries of popular expressions and words, proverbs and sayings, dictionaries of foreign words and bilingual dictionaries, and it will also be useful to solve linguistic problems.
  • If a subject performs numerical tasks poorly, then collections of puzzles are useful for developing the corresponding property.
  • In the case where the subject has problems with tasks requiring spatial representation, it is important to train concentration of attention on a variety of objects, followed by the transformation of their images into representation.
