Perceptual speed is the ability to quickly and accurately compare letters, numbers, objects, pictures, or patterns. In tests of perceptual speed the things to be compared may be presented at the same time or one after the other. Candidates may also be asked to compare a presented object with a remembered object.
Aptitude Tests
[Edit]Many aptitude tests and IQ tests measure candidates' perceptual speed, including the Thomas International General Intelligence Assessment. Statistically, women tend to outperform men in terms of perceptual speed.
