Abstract
The authors have developed a performance test, CPTOP (Cognitive Performance Test of Productivity), which combines 11 basic task testss to evaluate intelligent abilities of office workers in order to quantitatively and ob-jectively evaluate their productivity by controlling office environment. However, in the previous experiment, it was found that the results of CPTOP contain in-fluences of learning effect and variation of difficulties depending on each prob-lem set. In this study, therefore, subjective experiments have been conducted in order to compensate these influences and a correction method has been proposed.
