IS 2000R
IST 2000R ( Intelligence Structure Test 2000R ) is a multi-dimensional intelligence test by Liepmann, Beauducel, Brocke and Amthauer, the second edition of which was published in 2007. It emerged from the IST (1960s) developed by Rudolf Amthauer , the IST-70 (since 1973) and the IST-2000 (since 1999).
In addition to the professional aptitude diagnostics, the test is also used in the clinical area in order to be able to determine possible deficits in patients, above all to make a comparison of vulnerable and non-vulnerable services. Vulnerable services for clinical disorders include number-bound thinking and logical thinking, while language-bound thinking is one of the non-vulnerable services. If vulnerable services are worse than non-vulnerable ones, then there is a formal thought disorder. It can be assumed that the patient is severely affected by his (e.g. mental) illness.
IS 2000R concept
The basic module in short contains nine task groups. In addition, two memo tasks can be added if required, which are also included in the basic module. The IST 2000 has also been expanded to include a general knowledge test . Due to the modular structure, the individual components can optionally be used depending on content and economic requirements.
| module | Task group | Processing time in minutes | Characteristic values | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic module short form | Sentence completion (SE) | 6th | verbal intelligence (V) | Inferential Thinking (SD) | |
| Analogies (AN) | 7th | ||||
| Similarities (GE) | 8th | ||||
| Arithmetic problems (RE) | 10 | numerical intelligence (N) | |||
| Number series (ZR) | 10 | ||||
| Arithmetic symbol (RZ) | 10 | ||||
| Figure selection (FA) | 7th | figural-spatial intelligence (F) | |||
| Dice tasks (WÜ) | 9 | ||||
| Matrices (MA) | 10 | ||||
| Memory tasks | Memorization tasks (verbal) | 1 min. Memorization / 2 min. Reproduction |

The intelligence test can, through its theoretically well-founded and empirically founded structural concept, capture the abovementioned abilities and, as an extension, the fluid and crystalline intelligence (general factors). To calculate the general factor for fluid intelligence (gf), i.e. inferential thinking, and the general factor for crystalline intelligence (gc), i.e. knowledge, the individual raw values of the task groups are multiplied by a constant (weighting) and added up (weighted total value). The memory tasks are not included in the calculation of this weighted total value.
Parallel forms, group and computer testing
There are parallel forms A and B in which the same questions for each subtest are only presented in reversed order to prevent copying. In order to prevent learning effects through a repeat measurement (retest), form C is also available, which contains other questions with similar difficulty. A group test is therefore possible, since the test does not contain any device tests, but only consists of paper and pencil tests. There is also a computer version of the test.
history
In 1953 the intelligence structure test (IST) by Rudolf Amthauer , who worked under the scientific direction of Kurt Wilde , was published for the first time as the first psychological test procedure by the Hogrefe Verlag Göttingen.
In 1970 Amthauer published a revision IST-70, which was developed for the age group between 12 and 60 years. Using this procedure, the intelligence level and the intelligence structure of a participant were determined, which should represent the general intelligence as a result. The test is divided into nine task groups (formation of judgments, grasp of linguistic meanings, ability to combine, linguistic abstraction ability, memory ability, practical-computational thinking, theoretical-computational thinking, imagination, spatial imagination). The last standardization took place in Germany in 1996.
In the year 2000 the IST-2000 appeared, which in 2007 is available as IST-2000R in a revised version (2nd expanded and revised version). Due to the culture-dependent nature of the knowledge items, there are separate versions for Switzerland and Austria (only as computer-based versions).
Machining
The processing times of the IST 2000R ( instructions , processing and breaks) are between 77 minutes (basic module) and 130 minutes including knowledge test, depending on the modules. The intelligence test is designed for young people and adults between 15 and 60 years of age (IST 2000R) or between 15 and 25 years of age (IST 2000).
Normalization
There are separate standards for the following areas for all subscales and the overall scales:
- separately for high school students / non-high school students, as well as an overall standard
- separately for age cohorts
- no gender segregation required
