“…The Berlin Intelligence Structure Model has been successfully validated in numerous studies using different task sets, different methods, and with different populations (apprentices, high-school students, undergraduates, young adults, intellectually gifted people) (Beauducel & Kersting, 2002;Bucik & Neubauer, 1996;Jäger et al, 1997;Jäger, et al, 2006;Pfister & Beauducel, 1993;Süß & Beauducel, 2005;Süß, Oberauer, Wittmann, Wilhelm, & Schulze, 2002).…”

Estudos de Psicologia I Campinas I 32(1) I 13-25 I janeiro -março 2015 AbstractThe Berlin Intelligence Structure Model is a hierarchical and faceted model which is originally based on an almost representative sample of tasks found in the literature. Therefore, the Berlin Intelligence Structure Model is an integrative model with a high degree of generality. The present paper investigates the construct validity of this model by using different confirmatory factor analysis models. The results show that the model assumptions are supported only in part by the data. Moreover, it is demonstrated that there are different possibilities to incorporate the Berlin Intelligence Structure Model assumptions into confirmatory factor analysis models. The results are discussed with regard to the validity of the Berlin Intelligence Structure Model test, and the validity of the model. The Berlin Intelligence Structure Model (BIS) of Jäger (1982; is an integrative, hierarchical and faceted model of intelligence. At the most general level, general intelligence ("g") is assumed Keywords

“…Thus, the BIS subtests are combinations of operations and contents (e.g., reasoning for processing verbal, numerical, and figural contents). A more detailed description of the BIS model and an evaluation of the BIS test is provided by Bucik and Neubauer (1996) as well as Süß, Oberauer, Wittmann, Wilhelm, and Schulze (2002).…”

The present study was designed to elucidate sex-related differences in two basic auditory and one basic visual aspect of sensory functioning, namely sensory discrimination of pitch, loudness, and brightness. Although these three aspects of sensory functioning are of vital importance in everyday life, little is known about whether men and women differ from each other in these sensory functions. Participants were 100 male and 100 female volunteers ranging in age from 18 to 30 years. Since sensory sensitivity may be positively related to individual levels of intelligence and musical experience, measures of psychometric intelligence and musical background were also obtained. Reliably better performance for men compared to women was found for pitch and loudness, but not for brightness discrimination. Furthermore, performance on loudness discrimination was positively related to psychometric intelligence, while pitch discrimination was positively related to both psychometric intelligence and levels of musical training. Additional regression analyses revealed that each of three predictor variables (sex, psychometric intelligence, and musical training) accounted for a statistically significant portion of unique variance in pitch discrimination. With regard to loudness discrimination, regression analysis yielded a statistically significant portion of unique variance for sex as a predictor variable, whereas psychometric intelligence just failed to reach statistical significance. The potential influence of sex hormones on sex-related differences in sensory functions is discussed.

“…Thus, the BIS test provides the possibility to build operation factors across different contents (e.g., reasoning for processing verbal, numerical, and figural contents) to obtain measures of abilities as latent variables. A more detailed description of the BIS model and an evaluation of the BIS test is provided by Bucik and Neubauer (1996) and by Süß et al (2002).…”
