Sažetak

As experience of psychologists in practice demonstrates, the content of psychological tests becomes generally known with time which means that there is a continuous need for the development of new intelligence tests. The manipulative test of non-verbal intelligence DOMINO D-25 represents an innovation in the field of occupational health medicine. The test is designed and constructed with the goal of establishing fitness-to-work and as an aid in job recruiting and selection process.
The goal is to conduct a psychometric evaluation of the domino D-25 test by determining the test's psychometric characteristics/properties, including validity and reliability, and to create the norms for using the DOMINO D-25 test in practice. The research performed has shown that the manipulative test D-25 is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring non-verbal intelligence and that it can be used for the purpose of recruiting and selection, and as an aid in professional orientation. The test of non-verbal intelligence D-25 does not belong to the line of invasive psychological methods for testing intelligence because it is easy for application and represents an elegant and relatively efficient procedure for testing intelligence with the goal of assessing the intelligence capacity of employees in relation to their specific jobs. This type of examination is performed in order to ensure that a person is capable of performing a specific job and that he/she will not be a hazard to themselves or others.
The research sample consisting of 1,200 persons has shown that the manipulative DOMINO D-25 test of non-verbal intelligence has a wide range of application in the field of occupational health medicine, such as fitness-to-work examinations/evaluations and periodic/annual health reviews of employees within different organisations such as coal mines, metal, construction and transport companies etc. The test is suitable in the assessment of fitness-to-work, in particular for jobs involving operating motor vehicles, use of firearms, working at heights, welding, pipe laying, machine operation in coal mining and construction work, and many other simple jobs.
