Sensitivity Panel Participants
Dr. Craig L. Frisby
University of Missouri“The RIOT test is a new comprehensive multi-subtest intelligence battery that includes innovative item types, some of which are not found in a wide variety of contemporary general mental ability tests. The RIOT battery includes a wide variety of both verbal and nonverbal content that test users would undoubtedly find interesting, fun, challenging, and imaginative.”
Dr. Maria Lazo
Southwestern University“The testing of this instrument was rigorous and included a transparent development process that points to the expertise involved in all stages. The thoughtfully constructed test items reflect careful attention to detail, making this a robust tool for measuring intelligence with precision and fairness.”
Joyce Juntune
Texas A&M University“The Reasoning and Intelligence Online Test (RIOT) is built on a solid understanding of intelligence. By integrating diverse verbal and nonverbal tasks, it accurately assesses an individual's reasoning, problem-solving, abstract thinking, and advanced cognitive abilities. Its online accessibility makes it a valuable tool for professionals who require this information for informed decision-making.”
