Due to plethora of inadequately normed HR Tests, I decided to join best items of my tests into fewer and of better quality tests. And what better way to present them than through a contest?
Numerical Contest : Tetraktys test is used, consisting of 43 numerical sequences (best items of NSS-I, NSS-II, NGT-F plus some new ones). People that have tried one or more of the original tests are still allowed to take part in NC 2026.
Verbal Contest : Logos test is used, consisting of 18 verbal analogies & 18 word associations problems (best items of Gordian Knot & ARA, plus some new ones). People that have tried one or both of the original tests are still allowed to take part in VC 2026.
! Contests are separate, so one may try either one of two tests or both !
Participation : Right to participate have citizens of European Countries plus some honorary guests, that will be invited. Tests will be available to the rest of the world after Contest’s end. Unlike international contests ran in the past, this will be a European one. It will last until December 31st, 2026.
Prizes : Several – to be announced soon.
Answers should be sent to hriqtests-at-gmail.com, using this answersheet. (Won’t be accepted if sent any other way).
Entry fee : There is no fee until Contests’ end. Donations are always welcome.
Identity verification : ID verification is necessary (passport, ID card or driver’s license – name, surname and date of birth must be visible, anything else can be hidden), to avoid fraudulent or multiple answer submissions.
Links to tests, plus some additional relevant files, follow. Before trying the tests, read carefully everything related.
