Numerical reasoning test
In any technical position, the ability to analyze data and draw conclusions quickly is essential. Our numerical reasoning test evaluates a candidate's ability to solve tasks that require the interpretation of numbers, including identifying numerical patterns, tables, charts, graphs, and diagrams.
Critical & independent thinking
Employees who can solve problems independently and find new solutions to complex problems will always be an asset to your organization. Our critical thinking test evaluates candidates' abilities to solve three-part problems using deductive reasoning.
Spatial reasoning
Different careers require unique aptitudes. This is true for candidates in STEM careers who need to understand, reason, and remember the spatial relationships among objects or space. Our cognitive assessment for hiring challenges candidates' spatial visualization skills using their memory to solve visual problems.
Problem-solving
Our problem-solving assessment measures candidates' ability to analyze information, think critically, and arrive at effective solutions quickly, even under pressure. It's designed to identify those who can turn obstacles into opportunities.
Verbal reasoning
The ability to reason verbally is a fundamental skill every employee needs, whether in the office or home. It applies to everything from reading an article, report writing, presentations, or pitch decks. Verbal reasoning tests your ability to reason from words and reach valid conclusions.
