Abstract
This study aimed to investigate whether commercial games can serve as a tool for assessment of intelligence: for good proxies of intelligence without having the problems of test salience. One hundred and twelve participants completed a standardised intelligence test along with one spatial and one verbal game to determine the relationship between cognitive ability and game performance. Both games were significant correlates of intelligence, though differences were found in the strength of correlations and contribution of other factors between the two tasks. Implications and remaining questions regarding the potential value of such games in practical settings are discussed.
