Low Countries Aptitude Test

Test description

The L.C.A.T. is a test of the traditional kind:

The test is computer-based (HTML) and scored automatically (JavaScript), but can also be used in pen-and-paper form, which may in many situations be more practical. It has 25 numerical and 25 spatial items. The current norms are only preliminary, as very few have taken the L.C.A.T.

Below is a list of supervisors one may contact to take this test.

To me one will pay the usual fee (contact me about how to pay when you are indeed going to take the test).
