Currently, technological tools are replacing traditional methods in many fields of psychology, a phenomenon of high impact. For this reason, validity and reliability characteristics analysis of computerized experimental tests were carried out, using an instrumental psychometric study, which had 267 participants taking part in 589 paired applications of tests. Through a discriminant analysis, four computerized PEBL tests and three computerized Wundt's Lab tests were identified, consistent with validated cognitive measures, as opposed to three PEBL tests and four Wundt's Lab tests, which did not show such evidence. Additionally, convergences were found between PEBL and Wundt's Lab's Mental Rotation test performances, as well as paired associations between verbal and visuospatial working memory, and attention and movement perception test performances. Finally, relevant associations were shown between the results of the participants in the tests and the sex variable. Results support the existence of psychometric characteristics in seven computerized tests, making their use relevant in various fields of cognitive evaluation.
