Abstract

We argue that cognitive tests of intelligent agents should use modern intelligence theory to help ensure the test battery covers key aspects of cognition and decomposes them as diagnostically as possible. To this end we assess the recent BICA cognitive decathlon proposal [15] on the Cattel-Horn-Carrol (CHC) factor model of human intelligence [11], and suggest tests to fill the gaps. Some of those tests come from cognitive performance software developed by NTI [17 & 18]. Appealing again to CHC theory, we note remaining gaps and suggest known tests which can fill them.
