Cognitive ability: Number series: Set 1: HRS10 score
Cognitive ability: Result of the number series test as seen on the U.S. Health and Retirement Study. For each combination of number of correct answers in Set 1, component A and B of the number series test there is an associated score ranging from 409 when the respondent got no answer correct and 570 when the respondent got all answers correct. Higher values represent better fluid reasoning and ability for abstract thought to solve novel problems. For respondents who received Set 2 of the number series. Note that there was a survey implementation error in the collection of Set 2 which means scores from Set 1 and Set 2 may not be combined and used as a single indicator. For further information on the cognitive ability measures on the UKHLS, see S McFall (2013): Understanding Society: UK Household Longitudinal Study: Cognitive Ability Measures. Note that our coding follows the HRS 2012 code frame.
