This dataset contains real data from the 'Adaptive Matrices Test' (AMT), which is a computer-administered test. This power test assesses logical reasoning as an indicator of general intelligence. The ability to identify regularities and draw logical conclusions is a very good predictor of long-term success at work. The dataset is sparse, because the test tailores a specific set of items for each examinee's ability level. (More information about adaptive testing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computerized_adaptive_testing)

Format
