  1. COMIT TEST BATTERY Five Independent Tests Cognitive Abilities Processing Speed Social Apperception Stress Tolerance Distractibility

  2. Cognitive Abilities: Theoretical FoundationWhat is Intelligence? Former Model Verbal Non-Verbal Contemporary Model Fluid Reasoning (Gf) Crystallized Reasoning (Gc)

  3. Fluid Reasoning (Gf) Components Inductive Reasoning Deductive Reasoning Concept Formation Analysis-Synthesis Combinatorial Analysis Symbolic Classifications Under Novel Conditions

  4. Fluid Reasoning (Gf) Requirements Cognitive flexibility Concentration Attention to Detail Motivation Perseverance Precision

  5. Fluid Reasoning (Gf) Not Significantly Influenced By: Formal Schooling Experiences Prior Life Experiences / Travel Cultural Setting / Background

  6. Crystallized Reasoning (Gc) Components Word Knowledge Categorizations Acquired General Information

  7. Significantly Influenced By: Formal Schooling Experiences Prior Life Experiences / Travel Cultural Setting / Background Crystallized Reasoning (Gc)

  8. COMIT Subtests Information Vocabulary Categorization Crystallized Reasoning (Gc)

  9. What is Processing Speed? Ability to quickly perform simple scanning / matching tasks Processing Speed (Gs)

  10. How is Processing Speed Measured? Task That Everyone Can Perform Successfully Speed Is Only Significant Challenge Processing Speed (Gs)

  11. Concentration Effort Attention To Detail Processing Speed (Gs) Requirements

  12. COMIT Subtest Processing Speed Processing Speed (Gs)

  13. What is Social Apperception? Ability to Associate Facial / Gestural Expressions with Verbal Expressions Social Apperception (EQ)

  14. How is Social Apperception Measured? Presentation Of Real-Life Verbal Expressions Examinee Must Identify The Most Appropriate Image / Individual Facial Expressions, Gestures, Body Language Provide Non-Verbal Cues Social Apperception (EQ)

  15. Attention to Detail Proper Behavioral / Emotional Functioning Accurate Estimations of Others’ Feelings Range of Social Experiences may influence performance on this subtest Social Apperception (EQ) Requirements

  16. Potentially Influenced By Range of Social Experiences Gender Social Apperception (EQ)

  17. What is Stress Tolerance? Ability to Maintain Consistent Performance Unaffected by Significant External Stressors Stable / Dependable / Consistent Performance Stress Tolerance (EQ)

  18. How is Stress Tolerance Measured? Task That Everyone Can Perform Successfully Form A = Optimal Work Conditions Form B = Stressful Work Conditions Each Form Presents Items of Equal Difficulty Ipsative and Normative Scoring Procedure Stress Is The Only Significant Factor Stress Tolerance (EQ)

  19. Which Stressors Are Utilized? Negative Feedback Deadlines / Time Pressure Task Overload Stress Tolerance (EQ)

  20. Ability to Maintain Consistent Performance Block Out / Unaffected By Significant External Stressors Emotional Self-Regulation Emotional Stability Self-Efficacy Stress Tolerance (EQ)Requirements

  21. Form A: Optimal Work Conditions Autonomic Nervous System Arousal: Parasympathetic Calm Voice Intonation Soothing Color Themes Pleasant Music Unlimited Time For Task Completion Stress Tolerance (EQ)

  22. Form B : Stressful Work Conditions Autonomic Nervous System Arousal: Sympathetic Critical / Demanding Voice Prompts Grating / Irritating Music Intimidating Voice Intonation Stimulating Color Themes Challenging Deadlines Visual Timer Stress Tolerance (EQ)

  23. Error Pattern Analysis Inhibited Under Stress = Errors of Omission Proactive Under Stress = Errors of Commission Stress Tolerance (EQ)

  24. COMIT Subtest Stress Tolerance Stress Tolerance (EQ)

  25. What is Distractibility? Ability to Maintain Consistent / Reliable Performance Unaffected by Real-Life Distracters Consistent Visual / Auditory Resistance Consistent Single Modality / Dual Modality Focus Distractibility

  26. How is Distractibility Measured? Baseline is Subject’s Own Performance Without Distracters Add Real-Life Distracters Using Same Task Ipsative and Normative Scoring Procedure Distractibility Is The Only Significant Factor Distractibility

  27. Which Distracters Are Utilized? Auditory Distracters Visual Distracters Multiple Modalities Single Modality Distractibility

  28. Potentially Influenced By: Task Focus Situational Awareness Multi-Tasking Ability Distractibility

  29. COMIT Subtests Auditory Memory with Visual Distractions Auditory Memory with Auditory Distractions Visual Memory with Auditory Distractions Distractibility
