Cognitive ability: Number series: Set 2: 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 2, component A and B of the number series test there is an associated score ranging from 413 when the respondent got no answer correct and 584 when the respondent got all answers correct. Scores from Set 1 and Set 2 may be combined and used as a single indicator. Higher values represent better fluid reasoning and ability for abstract thought to solve novel problems. For further information on the cognitive ability measures on the UKHLS, see S McFall (2013): Understanding Society: UK Household Longitudinal Study: Cognitive Ability Measures.
