Raven in the mid-1930s and have since been further developed by him and by co-authors. All versions consist of graphic patterns with a missing part. The matching part must be selected from a larger number of options by logical combination. The tests thus measure the ability for visual problem solving, an important component of fluid intelligence in the sense of Cattell.

The task consists of finding an organizing principle according to which a number between one and four can be assigned to four simple geometric patterns displayed side by side.

In use since about 2000. Information and source of supply via the authors' website. Background The Planning Test by Kohler and Beck is a computerized variant of the Tower of London by Shallice. This action-based test consists of a series of problem-solving tasks in which the actions leading to the solution must be planned a few steps in advance. The test thus assesses a subcomponent of executive thinking and acting. text/html 2026-11-03T20:02:01+00:00 res (res@undisclosed.example.com) https://psytest.psy.med.uni-muenchen.de/tdb2online/en:tests:regensburger_wortfluessigkeitstest?rev=1793736121&do=diff Regensburg Word Fluency Test Abbreviation: RWT Background Speed-oriented mind games have been known for centuries.
