Abstract
A test as a form of diagnostic of algorithm and logic abilities is considered. Such test for measuring abilities and achievements of talented children has been designed and used at the Kharkiv Regional Olympiad in Informatics. Quality of the test and its items is analyzed. Correlation between the test results of children and their success in creating mathematical models, designing of complicated algorithms and translating these algorithms into computer programs is discussed.
