This test aims to measure the cognitive abilities at which females are known to outscore males. The choice of item types used is based on information from Arthur Jensen's 1998 book The g factor, chapter 13, "Sex differences in g". The test may be taken by both males and females and requires a good knowledge of the English language.
The FIT (Female Intelligence Test) should be taken in one supervised session and timed by the supervisor. There is no time limit, but you lose a point for every minute used while you gain a point with every correct answer. It is not allowed to use reference aids, calculators or computers or to consult others.
To take the test, contact the supervisor for an appointment.
