The International Cognitive Ability Resource is a public-domain assessment tool which aims to encourage the broader assessment of cognitive abilities in social sciences research. The collaborators working on this project believe that the best way to achieve this aim is by making it easier for research scientists to employ flexible and unrestricted measures which have been well-validated against one another.

We hope this site will further this aim by:

distributing the resources which are currently available (the existing "item types")
8 2 Fiona
providing psychometric information about these resources
9 2 Fiona
encouraging researchers to develop and contribute item types for use (and validation) by others

At the moment, there are four item types included among the ICAR set. Several types are currently under development in the PMC lab at Northwestern University and in the labs of some of our collaborators.
