What Is the MenCAT?
Traditional IQ tests measure comparative and superlative speed of problem solving relative to a defined population. Because these tests are timed, they cannot, by their nature, measure intelligence in its expressions as critical thinking, objective thought formulation, depth of reasoning, judgment, or strength of episodic memory.
Take this instance:
After returning from vacation, Fleming noticed a blue-green mold had contaminated a petri dish containing Staphylococcus bacteria. He observed a clear zone around the mold where the bacteria were not growing. Fleming identified the mold as a species of Penicillium, which was later named Penicillium notatum.
Fleming, Florey, and Chain were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1945 for their work on penicillin.
Penicillin has since saved hundreds of millions of lives world over. Its discovery was a result of chance, skill, observation, and critical thinking abilities of Alexander Flemming, and the collaborative efforts of Howard Florey and Ernst Chain. In real life, timed mental ability is rarely a necessity in solving complex problems. Skill, experience, depth of reasoning, collaboration, and a sense of duty to society are often the bearers of merit.
Therefore, it is crucial that individuals are tested for factors that determine their depth of reasoning, objectivity in thought formulation, sense of duty to society, communication, and collaboration, if we hope to advance humanity’s intelligence in perpetuity.
Created by the Tenexcel think tank following 15 years of research, the MenCAT is a psychometric test that evaluates individualized intelligence. Intelligence is the ability to understand and apply concepts (both old and new) in reasoning, judgment, problem solving, and other forms of thought. Individualized intelligence is the type of intelligence that humans exhibit; intelligence in the context of consciousness.
People who perform well in the MenCAT are 10 times more likely to be thought leaders and industry leaders in their various disciplines; the kind who initiate and inspire positive change in society.
