Administration: Individual/Group; 16 min
The TOG RA is a speeded measure of reasoning ability and problem-solving skills that is designed for individual or group administration.
Features and Beneflts:
• Offers a wider variety of item content and greater test score stability than competing measures.
• Yields a General Reasoning Index (GRI), a highly reliable score that reflects overall measurement of the general factor of reasoning and problem-solving skill.
• Consists of items that assess verbal, nonverbal, and quantitative reasoning and problem-solving
skills through tasks that are inductive as well as deductive in nature.
• Requires only 16 minutes for administration and 2-3 minutes for scoring.
• Administration and scoring will be available through PARiConnect.
• Appropriate in many settings whenever a speeded measure of reasoning ability and problem
solving under pressure is considered useful, including in the evaluation of students for giftedness, athletes, managerial and executive-level staff, or public safety officer candidates.
Test Structure:
• Two equivalent alternate forms (Blue and Green) enable you to retest and monitor progress while reducing practice effects
• Can be administered to groups or individuals and using a computer or traditional paper and pencil. This flexibility makes the TOG RA a viable option for use in human resource and related industrial settings, schools, juvenile and adult justice systems, and clinical settings.
Technical lnformation:
• As a result of extensive expert review and statistical analysis, the TOGRA's racial, gender, and religious bias is minimal ideal for any measure used for selection purposes.
• Standardized on a 2010-Census-matched sample of 3,013 individuals.
• The GRI is scaled to a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Other forms of derived scores, including z scores, normal curve equivalents, stanines, percentiles, and, for the younger ages, age equivalents, are provided.
• An investigation of TOGRA scores' relationship to examinees' occupational data revealed expected patterns, with median GRI scores increasing as examinees' industries moved from physically-oriented occupations to business- and science-oriented occupations.
