Cover Story: Figural-matrix tests are frequently used to measure fluid intelligence. The HeiQ (pronounced high-q), an operation-oriented figural-matrix test developed to overcome the limitations of previous tests, focuses on active construction instead of the possibility of excluding distractors based on superficial features. To accommodate for a wide variety of study designs, the goal of this study was to develop three short forms of the original HeiQ: two parallel short forms (the HeiQ-S A and HeiQ-S B) taking 25 minutes and an extra-short form (HeiQ-XS) taking only 10 minutes. All the tests showed good internal consistency and good construct validity and were able to predict academic performance (high school grades).
