Historically, there has been substantial disagreement about the importance of speed vs. level in determining individual differences in intelligence – a disagreement that persists across various different modern assessment measures of intellectual abilities. The current investigation considers whether changes to the administration constraints (time limitations or speededness, and total test length) of the Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices test – which has been identified as a measure highly saturated with general intelligence – results in differences to the underlying ability determinants of test performance. A review of empirical studies was conducted, where versions of Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices Tests were administered under various time constraints and item lengths. Meta-analytic techniques were used to determine whether introducing speed constraints or shortening the length of the test changes the construct validity of the tests (as indicated by differences in convergent and discriminant correlations with other ability traits). The meta-analysis combined results from 142 studies composed of a total of 26,848 participants. Substantial differences were found for correlations of Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices and Spatial Visualization (as large as $\widehat{\rho }$ = 0.26), Memory (as large as $\widehat{\rho }$ = 0.08), and Perceptual Speed (as large as $\widehat{\rho }$ = 0.34) abilities under speeded conditions and shorter test lengths. Examinees may draw on different strategies for test performance, that in turn, draw on different combinations of abilities, when the test is abbreviated or significant time constraints are introduced. Implications for using this test under different conditions are discussed.

从历史上看，关于速度与水平在确定个体智力差异方面的重要性存在重大分歧——这种分歧在各种不同的现代智力评估措施中仍然存在。当前的调查考虑了 Raven 高级渐进矩阵测试的管理限制（时间限制或速度和总测试长度）的变化是否会导致基本能力决定因素的差异的测试性能。对实证研究进行了回顾，其中 Raven 的高级渐进矩阵测试的版本是在各种时间限制和项目长度下进行的。元分析技术用于确定引入速度限制或缩短测试长度是否会改变测试的结构有效性（如与其他能力特征的收敛和判别相关性的差异所示）。荟萃分析结合了 142 项研究的结果，共有 26,848 名参与者。发现 Raven 的高级渐进矩阵和空间可视化（大到$\widehat{\rho }$ = 0.26），内存（大到 $\widehat{\rho }$ = 0.08）和感知速度（大到 $\widehat{\rho }$= 0.34) 在加速条件下和较短测试长度下的能力。当考试被缩短或引入了重要的时间限制时，考生可能会利用不同的测试表现策略，反过来，利用不同的能力组合。讨论了在不同条件下使用该测试的意义。
