Leistungspruefsystem 2 (LPS-2).
LPS-2
- What it measures
- Broad cognitive ability structured on Carroll's three-stratum model: crystallized intelligence (Gc), fluid intelligence (Gf), visual perception (Gv) and cognitive speed (Gs), derived from 11 first-order subtests.
- Length and format
- 11 subtests (general knowledge, anagrams, figure series, number series, letter series, mental rotation, area numbers, line patterns, eighth sign, line comparison, addition). multiple-choice and speeded paper-and-pencil ability items; group administrable (performance/ability test)
- Language versions
- Primarily German-language (DE, AT, CH). The predecessor LPS (Horn, 1962/1983) circulated in adapted form in several European countries. A national flagship rather than an internationally translated battery.

Choosing between this and the alternatives
We do not deliver this instrument. If you are selecting a measure for a research programme, a national survey or an assessment product, and the question is which instrument, in which language, against which norms and under which licence, that is the work we do.
