Success in high school and college courses and professional fields in STEM (science, mathematics and engineering) disciplines requires strong quantitative reasoning skills. The Quant-Q targets reasoning skills in relation to quantitative problems. While the questions can be challenging, the actual mathematical knowledge required for this instrument is basic. The instrument is designed to measure one's ability to think beyond the cancellations themselves in order to reason to the proper applications of those calculations. The questions on the Quant Q require a more complex integration of critical thinking skills and quantitative reasoning abilities. The Quant-Q is ideal for:

* high school students who are college bound
* undergraduate students
* graduate students
* professionals in quantitatively oriented fields
* people with strong mathematical aptitude or interests

The Quant-Q is a 28 item standardized test that is designed for use in a 50 minute time frame. Programs in Mathematics, Statistics, the Physical and biological sciences, engineering, computer science, and architecture, as well as business schools will find the Quant Q particularly useful. This tool is available in our encrypted on-line e-testing system, or in paper-&-pencil format.

Internal consistency ratings: Depending on circumstances of testing: (KR-20) for the Quant Q range from 0.78 to 0.86.

Concurrent Validity: Preliminary research indicates that the Quant Q correlates highly with the California Critical Thinking Skills Test (r = 0.731).
