The simplicity of the test made it a widely used measure for critical thinking. But some clever experiments illustrate that the CRT is not so simple after all. 00:00 Introduction 00:19 The CRT problems 1:20 The structure of CRT problems 3:04 Some hints about what s going wrong 4:53 The structure of insight problems 6:27 Explanation Number One 7:57 Explanation Number Two 8:57 Explanation Number Three I m launching a membership site.

It also includes correlations between the math section of the SAT and the CRT (.46) vs the verbal section of the SAT and the CRT (.24). On the CRT’s correlation to tests measuring numeracy being about .5, see Cokely, E. T., Galesic, M., Schulz, E., Ghazal, S., u0026 Garcia-Retamero, R. (2012).
