This test of novel problem solving is a measure of fluid intelligence (Doubleday‚ King‚ & Papageorgiou‚ 2002).

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.

For a bulk body without accounting its existing pores and voids‚ density is represented by the ratio of its mass and volume. It is given by the equation ρ= massvolume 1. The SI unit of density is kg/m3. However‚ its CGS units‚ g/cm3 or g/ mL‚ are the most commonly used ones in the laboratory. The
