Positive correlation
Correlation vs. Causation
Try practice test
Myra is working on her thesis for which she created a scatter plot of the number of teachers and the number of college graduates for cities in Australia. She noticed a positive correlation. Which of these do you think is the probable explanation for this correlation?
A: Teachers encourage people to go to college, so an increase in the number of teachers leads to an increase in the number of college graduates. 

B: Some college graduates choose teaching as a profession after graduating, so an increase in the number of college graduates also leads to an increase in the number of teachers.

C: There are more college graduates and teachers in higher income cities, so income is a confounding variable here, make it difficult to prove causation between number of teachers and number of college graduates. 

D: Cities with a higher population have more teachers and more college graduates, so the correlation is due to a third variable (population of city).

E: The provided data is insufficient, so it is extremely difficult to establish the reason for the correlation.

F: Most college students choose non-teaching professions after graduating, which explains the correlation. 

G: In Australia, college students are encouraged by their teachers to choose teaching as a profession after graduating.

Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment Logical Reasoning Test in your hiring process is that it is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. In other words: you want to use the test to eliminate the candidates who do poorly on the test, not to select the candidates who come out at the top. While they are super valuable, pre-employment tests do not paint the entire picture of a candidate’s abilities, knowledge, and motivations. Multiple easy questions are more predictive of a candidate's ability than fewer hard questions. Harder questions are often "trick" based questions, which do not provide any meaningful signal about the candidate's skillset.

What topics are covered in the Logical Reasoning Test?

  • Inductive reasoning

    Inductive reasoning is the ability to extrapolate patterns or conclusions based on limited information or observations. It is measured in this test to assess candidates' ability to draw logical inferences and make predictions based on patterns or trends, which is crucial in problem-solving and decision-making.

  • Diagrammatic reasoning

    Diagrammatic reasoning involves understanding and solving problems through visual representations, such as diagrams or flowcharts. This skill is measured to evaluate candidates' ability to analyze visual information and identify logical relationships, which is helpful in fields like engineering, design, and problem-solving tasks.

  • Abstract reasoning

    Abstract reasoning refers to the ability to identify and analyze underlying patterns or concepts without relying on concrete details or specific examples. This skill is essential in assessing one's logical thinking, problem-solving skills, and ability to perceive and analyze complex information, making it valuable in various fields where abstract thinking is crucial.

  • Deductive reasoning

    Deductive reasoning involves drawing conclusions from general principles or premises to specific instances. In this test, it is measured to assess candidates' ability to apply logical rules and principles, and to draw precise conclusions from given information or statements. This skill is particularly important in fields like law, mathematics, and scientific research, where reasoning based on given facts or rules is crucial.

  • Critical thinking

    Critical thinking refers to the ability to objectively analyze and evaluate information, arguments, or situations, and to reach well-founded and logical conclusions. It is measured in this test to assess candidates' ability to think independently and make reasoned judgments. This skill is valuable in a wide range of professional settings, particularly in roles that require problem-solving, decision-making, and analytical abilities.

Logical Reasoning Hiring Test FAQs

What is a logical reasoning test?

The Logical Reasoning test assesses candidates' ability to think logically, analyze and work out problems without getting confused or stressed—the test measures a candidate's capability to solve a problem and understand why and how the solution works.

Can I combine multiple skills into one custom assessment?

Do you have any anti-cheating or proctoring features in place?

We have the following anti-cheating features in place:

  • Non-googleable questions
  • IP proctoring
  • Screen proctoring
  • Web proctoring
  • Webcam proctoring

Read more about the proctoring features.

How do I interpret test scores?

The primary thing to keep in mind is that an assessment is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. A skills assessment is optimized to help you eliminate candidates who are not technically qualified for the role, it is not optimized to help you find the best candidate for the role. So the ideal way to use an assessment is to decide a threshold score (typically 55%, we help you benchmark) and invite all candidates who score above the threshold for the next rounds of interview.

What experience level can I use this test for?

Each Adaface assessment is customized to your job description/ ideal candidate persona (our subject matter experts will pick the right questions for your assessment from our library of 10000+ questions). This assessment can be customized for any experience level.

Does every candidate get the same questions?

Yes, it makes it much easier for you to compare candidates. Options for MCQ questions and the order of questions are randomized. We have anti-cheating/ proctoring features in place. In our enterprise plan, we also have the option to create multiple versions of the same assessment with questions of similar difficulty levels.

I'm a candidate. Can I try a practice test?

No. Unfortunately, we do not support practice tests at the moment. However, you can use our sample questions for practice.
