Composite Cognitive Ability Profile
Same IQ. Completely different minds.
IQ, EQ, personality types — a number and a few letters can’t explain how you think. See the shape of your intelligence across eight cognitive domains.
Both scored 117. Nothing alike.
The two people below share the same Composite Cognitive Index of 117. The number is identical, yet the shape their eight domains trace is entirely different.
Illustrative examples, not real results.
Eight cognitive domains
MOSAIC-48 measures eight cognitive domains with 48 items, then shows you one overall index and your own eight-axis profile. Every item is built in-house on measurement principles from cognitive-science research.
| Fluid Reasoning | Discovering and applying rules in novel problems |
|---|---|
| Visual-Spatial | Rotating, decomposing and assembling forms mentally |
| Working Memory | Holding information while transforming and using it |
| Quantitative Reasoning | Handling numerical relations and uncertainty |
| Learning Efficiency | Acquiring newly learned rules and retaining and transferring them |
| Verbal Reasoning | Grasping conceptual and logical structure in language |
| Attention Control | Inhibiting irrelevant information and switching rules flexibly |
| Processing Speed | Comparing and identifying simple visual information quickly and accurately |
Measurement basis
Item formats were developed in-house, drawing on the measurement principles of the hierarchical CHC model of cognitive abilities, the open-source ICAR project, the Berlin Numeracy Test, and the Cognitive Reflection Test. No items are copied from existing instruments; the item bank was written from scratch to target the same cognitive operations.
How the assessment works
- Rule learning — learn short transformation rules and apply them immediately.
- Mixed blocks — reasoning, spatial, quantitative and verbal items appear interleaved.
- Memory and speed tasks — run as separate sessions with exposure and time limits.
- Delayed tasks and finish — the rules learned earlier are used again, then results are computed.
Before you begin
- Complete the assessment in one sitting in a quiet environment. It takes about 20–25 minutes.
- Do not use notes, calculators or zoom tools. Some items are shown for a limited time.
- You cannot return to previous items. If the page reloads, you resume from the last saved point.
For a narrower margin — the 96-item precision assessment
Doubling the item count does not measure new abilities — it measures the same eight domains more finely. With twelve items per domain, the margin of measurement error on a domain score narrows from about 11.8 points to 8.3, and more sessions end with a top-two order we can state outright.
- 20–25 minutes · six items per domain
- Composite index estimate range ±4–8 points · margin of measurement error on a domain score about ±11.8 points
- When the top two domains sit within the margin, shown as a composite type
- About 40 minutes · twelve items per domain
- Margin of measurement error on a domain score: about ±8.3 points (roughly 30% narrower)
- On a retake, items you have not seen come first
The margin-of-error figures are estimates computed from the item count and difficulty mix. The precision form has no pilot norms of its own yet, so it shares the full assessment’s provisional reference distribution.
