The measurement of the analytical style of information processing. A preliminary verification of the tools: cognitive reflection test (crt) and base-rate tasks test (brt).

Summary/Abstract: The article presents preliminary verification of two instruments measuring the analyticalstyle of information processing: Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) by Frederick andBase-Rate Tasks (BRT) test by Kahneman and Tversky. The tests’ reliability was analysed,and their validity was preliminarily verified by looking for correlations of their resultswith the results of other instruments measuring individual characteristics of cognitivefunctioning, as well as differences between sexes and differences related to the course ofstudy. The participants were 374 students, including 174 males and 200 females representingdifferent faculties. The obtained results confirmed the instruments’ reliability (CRT:Cronbach’s α = 0.74; BRT: Cronbach’s α = 0.80). The results’ correlation with the resultsof another instrument measuring the analytical style – the Intuitiveness–Rationality(IR) questionnaire – was weak. The obtained data were similar to those found in theresearch by Pennycook, Cheyne, Seli, Koehler and Fugelsang (2012), which proves thecorrect adaptation of the tests. Based on the conducted analysis, differences betweensexes were shown (stronger analytical style was found in males), as well as differencesconnected with the choice of university course (stronger analytical style was found instudents of technical sciences and psychology).
