The evaluation of the subtest "Labyrinthe" of the CFT 1

We tested the hypothesis, that the evaluation of the subtest Labyrinthe of the Grundintelligenztest Skala 1 (CFT 1), a German adaptation of Cattell's Culture Fair Intelligence Test - Scale 1, may partly depend on the informat ion given to the evaluator (e.g). concerning what this subtest is intended to measure). A study comparing two evaluation conditions showed that an eva luation based only on the instructions from the test manual results in lowe r raw scores than one that is also based on knowledge about the measurement intention. Implications for the interpretation of the resulting raw scores are discussed.
