Below we present three stimuli sets for the ART task. The first stimuli set is described in the paper above. The other two stimuli sets are the same puzzles using two different colour vision deficiency-friendly palettes.
Please note our task is not an IQ test. It is not intended to be used to determine someone’s intelligence or cognitive ability in, for example, educational, clinical or commercial contexts. This is because we have no population norms for our task, so it does not generate an IQ score (which is based on population norms), nor do we have any data on convergent validity.
The normative data analysed here was originally collected as part of a cognitive training study (Knoll et al., 2016) and was therefore not optimized for psychometric validation. While we were able to provide evidence for good internal consistency and reasonable test-retest reliability, we were not able to directly assess criterion or construct validity of the ART using these data. Future studies will need to address this issue, for example, by comparing performance of the ART to performance on established reasoning measures such as Raven’s Matrices (Raven, 2000) or the Cattell Culture Fair Test (Cattell, 1973).
Finally, we do not have data on our sample’s distribution and representativeness in terms of demographic variables such as socio-economic status and ethnicity. We therefore recommend a more extensive validation of this task with a representative sample in the future. Because of these limitations, we do not advocate the use of this task as a measure of IQ, but instead view it purely as a measure of abstract reasoning to be used for research purposes only.

Each puzzle set has the same puzzles, but uses different shapes within the puzzles. The three puzzle sets enable a well-matched pre-test, post-test and later follow up. The link will take you to a Gorilla Sample which contains all three experiments and the constituent nine tasks presented (3 puzzle sets x 3 colour sets). You'll need to be logged into your Gorilla account to see the experiments. Signing up is free.
