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 the identification of numerical patterns, tables, charts, graphs, and diagrams.
Critical & independent thinking
Employees that 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 that need to be able to understand, reason, and remember the spatial relationships among objects or space. Our tests challenge candidates spatial visualization skills using their memory to solve visual problems.
Problem-solving
An employee will face many challenging problems in their daily work. This requires good problem-solving skills which means they need to be both creative and analytical. Our problem-solving tests challenge candidates to identify the right answers to problems in a limited time.
Attention to detail (visual/textual)
Having the ability to detect minor errors or details is often critical in many fields, especially technical roles. Our tests challenge candidates to find errors in both images and text to test their attention to detail. The better the score the more likely they will excel in detail-orientated working environments.
Verbal reasoning
The ability to reason verbally is a fundamental skill every employee needs whether in the office or at 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.
Following instructions
In the workplace following instructions is important to ensure things are done effectively, safely, and on time. Our test evaluates a candidate’s ability to interpret instructions accurately, including information that may be presented in written, visual, or oral form.
Intermediate math (logic)
In a data-driven business world, many professions require good math skills. Employees who can easily understand and work with numbers take better business decisions. This math test assesses the ability to perform math operations, including calculating rates, percentages, ratios, and time durations.
Basic triple-digit math
The capacity to solve simple mathematical problems is essential for many occupations. In our test, we evaluate the capacity to solve math problems. Our test is particularly advantageous for occupations that need basic math abilities without the need for sophisticated reasoning or problem-solving.
Basic double-digit math
Basic math abilities are required for almost any job in the manufacturing and industrial sectors at the elementary level. Our tests screen a candidate’s capacity to solve mathematical problems using addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division including basic time operations.
Detailed reporting that makes sense
