NTLB – performance test for amateur and professional pool billiards players.

One important request before you start: Please try to complete the test in one session without longer interruptions. Short breaks are fine. However, if you pause for too long, your session may expire and you may no longer be able to continue the test.

As part of my bachelor’s thesis at the Department of Psychology at the University of Innsbruck, I am exploring new approaches to performance diagnostics in pool billiards.

In addition to technique, training experience, and competition results, this test focuses on mental abilities that may be relevant for successful performance.

By participating, you help to further develop a test procedure that could become part of performance training for ambitious amateurs and professional players in the future.

Thank you very much for your support!

Important: Your responses will be analyzed anonymously. No results will be published that could identify you personally.

You will complete several short tasks. Some are directly related to billiards, while others assess general abilities that may be relevant for successful play.

Please work carefully and answer as well as you can, even if you are unsure about some questions.

The test takes approximately 12 to 15 minutes.

If you would like to receive personal feedback on your results, you may voluntarily provide contact details at the end. These data will be processed in pseudonymized form. This means that your answers are not stored directly with your name, but linked through a code. This makes it possible to provide you with individual feedback later.

There are 51 questions in this survey.
This survey is anonymous.

The record of your survey responses does not contain any identifying information about you, unless a specific survey question explicitly asked for it.

If you used an identifying access code to access this survey, please rest assured that this code will not be stored together with your responses. It is managed in a separate database and will only be updated to indicate whether you did (or did not) complete this survey. There is no way of matching identification access codes with survey responses.
