【 摘 要 】

In recent years, large scale assessments such as PISA (OECD, 2014) have revived the interest in complex problem solving (CPS). In accordance with the constraints of such assessments, the focus was narrowed to psychometric aspects of the concept, and the minimal complex systems test MicroDYN has been propagated as an efficient instrument for measuring individual differences in CPS (Wüstenberg et al., 2012; Greiff et al., 2013). At present, MicroDYN is the most common psychometric instrument claiming to measure CPS1. MicroDYN consists of a number of linear systems with mostly three input and three output variables. The subjects have to explore each system, enter their insights into a causal diagram (representation phase) and subsequently steer the system to a given array of target values by entering input values (solution phase). Each system is attended to for about 5 min. MicroDYN yields reliable measures.
