DESCRIPTION: Like the SPM-C, the SPM-P consists of 60 items divided into five Series (A, B, C, D, E), each comprising 12 items. Each item consists of an incomplete pattern (matrix) and the subject is requested to find the missing bit out of the six pieces shown beneath the matrix. The Parallel format of the SPM is equivalent to the Classic format of the SPM: the SPM-C and SPM-P items are equivalent with respect to both the problem solving strategy and the empirically determined difficulty.
RELIABILITY: High internal consistency and stability.
VALIDITY: Was not tested.
NORMS: For soldiers in basic military service; since SPM-C and SPM-P are equivalent, SPM-C norms can be used to assess SPM-P scores.
