Abstract

A battery of Graphic Information Processing Tests (GRIP) was developed to utilize the display characteristics of computer terminals in measuring abilities important for processing visually presented information. The GRIP battery was especially intended to assess five "real world" personal attributes which have been difficult to measure with paper-and-pencil tests. The experimental tests were administered to 385 Navy enlisted men and evaluated in conjunction with paper-and-pencil tests of the same attributes as well as with operational cognitive tests and biographical variables. The GRIP tests were found to be useful for measuring short-term memory and sequential reasoning abilities.
