Total Raw Score: 22 John Sample obtained a total raw score of 22 out of 28 possible points on the Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM). Skills and Abilities assessed with the Raven’s Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM): ‘The SPM is a nonverbal mental abilly test that requires the solution of problems. The SPM measures observation skills, clear thinking abiity, intellectual capacity and intellectual efficiency. Specifically the SPM measures the ability to: + formulate new concepts when faced with novel information + extract meaning out of confusion or ambiguity + think clearly about complex situations and events ‘The SPM score indicates potential for success in positions that typically require clear and accurate thinking, problem identification and evaluation of tentative solutions for consistency with all available information. Such positions may include middle management, supervisory and equivalent level technical or professional non managerial positions. The nonverbal aspect of SPM minimizes the impact of language skills on performance on the assessment. Itis recommended that the Raven's SPM be used in combination with other assessment techniques.

Score Interpretation ‘Your performance on SPM is given in relation to that of who have previously completed the test. This was deemed to be the most relevant comparison group and should be considered when reviewing your results below. Your score was better than or equal to 57% of Employed Adults. Compared with others in the specified group you are likely to demonstrate average range of perception and clear thinking necessary to extract meaning out of confusion and ambiguity. This may be apparent in: + defining problems and situations clearly and objectively + distinguishing subtle relationships among situations, events or ideas + building strong arguments by integrating all pieces of relevant information from diverse perspectives + recognising the subtle implications of decisions and actions, and to anticipate likely outcomes + identifying non obvious causes of problems + using all the available relevant information to evaluate and make effective decisions + drawing accurate conclusions from information in any situation + readily leaming concepts + developing sufficient insight into issues and situations PEARSON —_— Copyright © 2009 by Pearson Education Lid or its aflates).
