The Verbal ability online test contains 15 MCQ questions to assess a candidate's linguistic and logical abilities and takes ~20 minutes. The reports are automatically generated, and recruiters can use the generated insights to identify the candidates with the best verbal reasoning skills.
The pre-employment verbal reasoning test measures how fluent candidates are in English and how good they are at articulating ideas and concepts. Verbal ability skills are essential for a variety of roles. They are often included as part of a broader application process, where the candidates are asked to demonstrate their knowledge of grammar, spelling, punctuation, syntax, and workplace etiquette. The questions in the test evaluate critical verbal reasoning skills candidates are expected to have:
Traditional assessment tools use trick questions and puzzles for the screening, which creates a lot of frustration among candidates about having to go through irrelevant screening assessments.
The main reason we started Adaface is that traditional pre-employment assessment platforms are not a fair way for companies to evaluate candidates. At Adaface, our mission is to help companies find great candidates by assessing on-the-job skills required for a role.
Why we started Adaface ->We have a very high focus on the quality of questions that test for on-the-job skills. Every question is non-googleable and we have a very high bar for the level of subject matter experts we onboard to create these questions. We have crawlers to check if any of the questions are leaked online. If/ when a question gets leaked, we get an alert. We change the question for you & let you know.
These are just a small sample from our library of 10,000+ questions. The actual questions on this Verbal Reasoning Test will be non-googleable.

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment Verbal 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.
Email invites: You can send candidates an email invite to the Verbal Reasoning Test from your dashboard by entering their email address.
Public link: You can create a public link for each test that you can share with candidates.

The hiring managers felt that through the technical questions that they asked during the panel interviews, they were able to tell which candidates had better scores, and differentiated with those who did not score as well. They are highly satisfied with the quality of candidates shortlisted with the Adaface screening.
Verbal ability tests measure how quickly and accurately a person can read and understand written information. The candidates will be given a short text, followed by a question about what was just read. To answer correctly, candidates need to identify the main points within the text and then link them back to the original question. Some verbal reasoning questions will require the candidates to do this in reverse. The verbal reasoning tests evaluate the understanding of language and the level of verbal comprehension and logic. The verbal reasoning tests are designed for different roles and jobs in an organization's hierarchy. Depending on the experience level and the job description, the following vary from test to test:
There are 21 types of verbal ability reasoning tests. Some have subtle differences, while a few have significant variations in the format and structure. Most of these differences arise because of:
These 21 types are conceptual and are not attuned to hiring. Here are the 21 types:

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.
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.
