I am currently writing my dissertation which will examine the impact of emotion on cognitive ability. I plan to use two test groups to test my hypothesis, one which is primed to feel happy the other which is primed to feel slightly stressed.I am looking for a question set  which I can use as a reliable test of cognitive ability - i.e. a question set that has been verified as appropriate by peer review. I am basing my experiment on an experiment carried out by Bachkirov (2015). The issue I have is that I don't have the resources to use the same method and am seeking to simplify by using a questionnaire but I can't find a suitable question set. My main criteria are :The question set should simply measure cognitive or mental skills/abilitiesThe question set should take approximately 15 minutes to completeThe question set should be suitable to administer via survey monkey or such like The question set should be peer reviewed/ of have been used in a similar study which has been published .Bachkirov, A. A. (2015). Managerial decision making under specific emotions. Journal of Managerial Psychology, 30(7), 861-874.
