This test of novel problem solving is a measure of fluid intelligence (Doubleday‚ King‚ & Papageorgiou‚ 2002). People’s ability to solve novel problems is a stable characteristic‚ as it is largely genetically determined (Nairne‚ 2009). Test-retest is typically appropriate for measures with stable attributes‚ but this test’s novel nature makes it an inappropriate technique in regard to reliability. In effect‚ its novelty diminishes after the initial testing‚ producing difficulties due to practice
