Intelligence tests measure a range of mental abilities which enable a person to succeed at a
variety of intellectual tasks using the faculties of abstract thinking and reasoning. They are
concerned with general intelligence (termed ‘g’ by Spearman, 1927, one of the pioneers of
intelligence testing) and are sometimes called ‘general mental ability’ (GMA) tests. Intelligence
tests measure abilities while cognitive tests measure an individual’s learning in a specific subject
area. The meta-analysis conducted by Schmidt and Hunter (1998) showed that intelligence
tests had high predictive validity. In fact, when combined with a structured interview, they had
the highest predictive value of all the methods of selection they studied.
Intelligence tests contain questions, problems and tasks. The outcome of a test can be expressed
as a score that can be compared with the scores of members of the population as a whole or
the population of the whole or part of the organization using the test (norms).
The outcome of an intelligence test may sometimes be recorded as an intelligence quotient
(IQ), which is the ratio of an individual’s mental age to the individual’s actual age as measured
by an intelligence test. When the mental and actual age correspond, the IQ is100. Scores above
100 indicate that the individual’s level of average is above the norm for his or her age, and vice
versa.
