Cognitive Process Battery
9 neuroscience-validated tasks measuring core cognitive processes
Why task-based?
The Cognitive Process Battery measures fundamental cognitive processes that predict adaptability, learning speed, and performance potential — using task-based paradigms from cognitive neuroscience that cannot be completed by AI.
AI-Resistant
Interactive tasks require real-time human response — cannot be delegated to ChatGPT
Scientific Basis
9 paradigms from peer-reviewed cognitive neuroscience (1935–1987)

9 Cognitive Measures
Each task is a validated neuroscience paradigm — not a questionnaire. Response times and accuracy reveal cognitive architecture that cannot be faked or AI-generated.
Inhibitory Control
Inhibitory Control
Stroop, 1935
- Focus under distraction
- Precision
- Error control
Rule Switching
Rule Switching
Rogers & Monsell, 1995
- Mental agility
- Adaptability
- Multi-tasking
Sustained Vigilance
Sustained Vigilance
Rosvold et al., 1956
- Sustained focus
- Impulse control
- Reliability
Associative Learning
Associative Learning
Nissen & Bullemer, 1987
- Pattern learning

- Learning speed
Pattern Discrimination
Pattern Discrimination
Cognitive psychology
- Pattern recognition
- Perceptual reasoning

Selective Attention
Selective Attention
Treisman & Gelade, 1980
- Signal detection
- Noise filtering
- Attention efficiency
Number Fluency
Number Fluency
Numerical cognition
- Quantitative reasoning
- Data interpretation
- Analytical speed
Goal Persistence
Goal Persistence
Duckworth, 2007
- Drive and grit
- Goal-directed behavior
- Resilience
Peer-Reviewed Science
Every paradigm is based on decades of cognitive psychology research — not proprietary black-box scoring.
Stroop Color-Word Task
Inhibitory control
r = .25–.35
job performance
N-Back Paradigm
Working memory
r = .30–.40
job performance
Visual Search Task
Selective attention
r = .22–.30
job performance
Serial Reaction Time
Implicit learning
r = .20–.35
job performance
Task-Set Shifting
Cognitive flexibility
r = .22–.38
job performance
Criterion validity coefficients — correlation with supervisory-rated job performance (meta-analytic estimates).
Cannot be completed by AI
ChatGPT outperforms 98.8% of humans on verbal reasoning tests (Wiley, 2024). Task-based paradigms require real-time motor responses — no text input, no AI delegation possible.
Measures process, not product
Unlike questionnaires that ask "how do you behave?", task paradigms observe actual performance at millisecond precision — reaction times, accuracy patterns, and behavioral signatures that reflect genuine cognitive capacity.
EU AI Act compliant
Human oversight required for all AI-generated decisions. Each task produces explainable, auditable scores. No black-box algorithms — scoring is based on published psychometric formulas.
