Statistics of Logima Strictica 36

Introduction

These statistics are based on scores on this test as reported by candidates taking I.Q. tests from I.Q. Tests for the High Range.

Notice: In the late 1990s to early 2000s, the maker of these norms has agreed with the test author to norm this test (correspondence still in possession) and this arrangement has never formally ended. For some reason, alternative norms for this test are published elsewhere.

Scores on Logima Strictica 36 (Robert Lato) as of 12 September 2025

Contents type: Spatial.   

• n: 111
• Median: 15.5
• Quartile deviation: 3.0
• Maximum possible: 36
• Male median: 15.5 (n = 108)
• Female median: 12.5 (n = 3)
• Proportion of males among candidates: 0.973
• Hardness: 0.57
• Resolution: 6.0

Notice: The (controversial) scores of 32 have been left out when computing the norms given above, to prevent them from affecting (depressing) the norms. The first score report with a 32 score has been inspected and verified as authentic by the maker of this statistical report, but the scorer later sent a new score to that candidate with a much lower score, stating that the earlier score of 32 had been a "joke". Both top scores are absent from the alternative statistics published elsewhere.

Correlation of Logima Strictica 36 (Robert Lato) with other mental ability tests

Weighted mean of correlations: 0.340 (N = 967)

Estimated g factor loading: 0.58

Ranking in above table is based on the unrounded correlations. All available data is present in this table, no tests are left out except for those with less than 4 score pairs. All known pairs are used, including possible floor/ceiling scores or outliers.

Estimated loadings of Logima Strictica 36 (Robert Lato) on particular item types

These are estimated g factor loadings, but against homogeneous tests (containing only particular item types) as opposed to non-compound heterogeneous tests. Although tending to surprise the lay person, it is not uncommon for tests to have high loadings on item types they do not actually contain themselves. Such loadings reflect the empirical fact that most tests for mental abilities measure primarily g, regardless of their contents; that the major part of test score variance is caused by g, and only a minor part by factors germane to particular item types. It is of key importance to understand that this is a fact of nature, a natural phenomenon, and not something that was built into the tests by the test constructors.

N = 628

Compound tests have been left out of this table to avoid overlap.

Balanced g loading = 0.53

National medians for Logima Strictica 36 (Robert Lato)

Total number of countries: 30

For reasons of privacy, only countries with 3 or more candidates are included in this table. Ranking is based on the medians, and then alphabetic.

Correlation of Logima Strictica 36 (Robert Lato) with personal details

Notice: A correlation is generally considered significant if its p value is 0.05 or less.

Estimated g factor loadings for restricted ranges

The goal of estimated g factor loadings for restricted ranges is to verify the hypothesis that g becomes less important, accounts for a smaller proportion of the variance, at higher I.Q. levels. The mere fact of restricting the range like this also depresses the g loading compared to computing it over the test's full range, so it would be normal for these values to be lower than the test's full-range g loading.

Notice: The negative g loading in the lower part of the test's range is remarkable.
