Whether CAT is an intelligence test and the only criteria for selection?

CAT is not, in fact, an intelligence test. CAT is basically a Business Aptitude Test intended to identify those students who are likely to perform well in the area of business management. It is also important to know that CAT score is only one of the criteria for the final selection of a candidate to a business school. The final selection of a candidate is decided by not only his score in CAT but by his performance in the Group Discussion (GD) and Personal Interview (PI) and also by his Academic Record. CAT basically assesses a candidate in three basic areas, namely, his Quantitative Ability, Analytical Ability and Verbal Ability required to become a good management professional.
