This paper reports on the validation of an Elementary Logical Operations test (ELO) using a Russian sample of 556 participants, aged from 13 to 69 (M/F = 247/304) including adolescents, youths, adults, and alcohol addicted people. The study examined a factor structure and psychometric properties of the ELO test in terms of reliability, construct and concurrent validity. Factor analysis revealed two-component model, the nature of which requires further psychological analysis. Mean scores of the ability to perform elementary logical operations increased from adolescence to adulthood. Differences in indicators of the ELO was not identified in the samples of men and women. Significant differences were found between the sample of the norm (adolescents, youths, adults) and alcohol addicted people. Significant correlations were confirmed between the ability to perform Elementary Logic Operations and all the conceptual abilities under study (Generative abilities, Categorical abilities, and Abilities to classify). Correlations were not found between character traits and the ELO scale which testified to the discriminative validity of the test. General Liner Modeling (Multivariate Tests and Tests of Between-Subjects Effects) showed a significant effect of the ELO on the indicators of Intelligence and Verbal Creativity. Thus, the study demonstrated that the Elementary Logical Operations Test (ELO) provided a brief screening of individual's intellectual and creativity traits.
