Correlation of Cognitive Ability Scores
A rough guide to the correlations between scores in four domains: spatial reasoning, pattern recognition, logical reasoning, and classification. The relationship with the g factor, visualized.
| Spatial Reasoning | Pattern Recognition | Logical Reasoning | Classification | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spatial Reasoning | 1.00 | 0.58 | 0.55 | 0.52 |
| Pattern Recognition | 0.58 | 1.00 | 0.60 | 0.50 |
| Logical Reasoning | 0.55 | 0.60 | 1.00 | 0.54 |
| Classification | 0.52 | 0.50 | 0.54 | 1.00 |
The moderate positive correlation among these domains is thought to reflect a shared general intelligence factor (the g factor) underlying them.
