The Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT; Frederick, 2005) is designed to measure the tendency
to override a prepotent response alternative that is incorrect and to engage in further
reflection that leads to the correct response. It is a prime measure of the miserly information
processing posited by most dual process theories. The original three-item test may be
becoming known to potential participants, however. We examined a four-item version that
could serve as a substitute for the original. Our data show that it displays a. 58 correlation …
The Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT; Frederick, 2005) is designed to measure the tendency to override a prepotent response alternative that is incorrect and to engage in further reflection that leads to the correct response. It is a prime measure of the miserly information processing posited by most dual process theories. The original three-item test may be becoming known to potential participants, however. We examined a four-item version that could serve as a substitute for the original. Our data show that it displays a .58 correlation with the original version and that it has very similar relationships with cognitive ability, various thinking dispositions, and with several other rational thinking tasks. Combining the two versions into a seven-item test resulted in a measure of miserly processing with substantial reliability (.72). The seven-item version was a strong independent predictor of performance on rational thinking tasks after the variance accounted for by cognitive ability and thinking dispositions had been partialled out.
