Critical & Independent Thinking Test

Description

Employees with critical thinking skills can solve problems independently, devise new approaches to complex problems, and analyze relationships among various ideas. This critical thinking test evaluates candidates’ abilities to solve syllogisms using deductive reasoning, to analyze sequences and arrangements, to evaluate cause and effect relationships, and to recognize assumptions.

If you are looking for candidates who can think independently and generate innovative solutions, this is a good test. Candidates with a well-trained working memory tend to do well on this test.
