in the past analogys. word asc and such have been used in verbal intelligence testing but the problem of requiring education and vocabulary seemed un solveable untill now. i created acronym type tests because the need for education and vocabulary is at the basic level of what is just needed to communicate and no more. The brain must process and reason problem related tasks much in the way it does mathematics . you actually create your own result by using each letter of the word car in the order its written to create new words forming a essay about any subject related to automobiles and the goal is for that essay to be as coherently fluent as any normal written essay. the VIT test works in a similar way but is inverted. No dictionarys or thesaurus is needed because each word formed must be average common words. visit my website at www.shepintelligencetesting.webs.com
