This is the association subtest of the Netherlandic version of the Long Test For Genius, no longer in use. Currently only the English version of the Test For Genius (Revision 2004) is in use, to prevent candidates from comparing the different language versions to thus gain an advantage. Also, there was very little interest in the non-English versions.
The lack of interest is regrettable, since the problems of the Netherlandic verbal subtests, just as those of the nonverbal subtests, are of an exceptional quality. Some of them live on in the English TFG, and those that have no English versions are now revived in De Golfstroomtest.
This test is normed to protonorms. To translate protonorms to the proportion of candidates outscored and IQ, see the relevant table.

Used for norming are all of the known scores from tests correlating .34 or higher with the Association subtest of Long Test For Genius (NL). The used scores are if needed converted to protonorms using the relevant conversion formula or table. The raw scores on the Association subtest of Long Test For Genius (NL) that form pairs with the used scores are rank-equated to the used scores, and where needed there is interpolation or extrapolation.

Using the "split-half" method:
Item statistics are not published as that would help future candidates. To detect bad items, answers and comments from testees are studied, as well as, for each problem, the correlation with total score (validity of the item in this test) and the proportion of candidates getting it wrong (hardness of the item). Possible bad items are removed or revised, resulting in a revised version of the test.
Most of this report was generated by software created 2002-present by Paul Cooijmans.
