Separate analyses for both tests showed openness, conscientiousness, and neuroticism to significantly predict CAM. Also, more intelligent persons were more interested and more confident. Training had an additional impact on probability of success. CAM in turn significantly predicted matrices test performance and test times beyond GMA.
