Abstract Reasoning Test

The pre-employment Abstract Reasoning test is a non-verbal ability test used to measure abstract reasoning and fluid intelligence. Candidates are presented with questions in the form of a matrix with a missing element which they need to determine. This is a completely non-linguistic test so it is fair across cultures, making it a popular choice for recruiters.

Test candidates on core Abstract Reasoning Hiring Test topics

Pattern Recognition: Pattern recognition refers to the ability to identify and analyze patterns within data or information. It involves the cognitive process of recognizing recurring patterns and using them to make predictions or solve problems. This skill is measured in the test to assess an individual's ability to quickly identify and understand patterns, which is important in a wide range of fields, including problem-solving, data analysis, and decision-making.

Logical Reasoning: Logical reasoning involves the ability to use rational thinking and systematic processes to arrive at a conclusion or solve a problem. It entails analyzing and evaluating information, making logical deductions, and recognizing logical relationships between different elements. This skill is measured in the test to assess an individual's ability to think critically, evaluate arguments, and make sound decisions based on logical principles.

Visual Perception: Visual perception refers to the cognitive process of interpreting and making sense of visual stimuli. It involves the ability to recognize and differentiate shapes, colors, patterns, and objects, and to understand spatial relationships. This skill is measured in the test to assess an individual's visual acuity, attention to detail, and ability to comprehend and interpret visual information accurately.

Problem Solving: Problem-solving is the process of finding solutions to complex or ambiguous problems. It encompasses identifying the problem, generating and evaluating potential solutions, and implementing the most effective one. This skill is measured in the test to assess an individual's ability to analyze problems, think creatively, and apply logical reasoning to reach optimal solutions, which is crucial in various contexts, such as decision-making, innovation, and troubleshooting.

Critical Thinking: Critical thinking involves actively and objectively analyzing and evaluating information to form an informed judgment or decision. It requires the ability to evaluate arguments, identify biases, and separate fact from opinion. This skill is measured in the test to assess an individual's ability to think independently, analyze complex information, and make sound, evidence-based decisions, which is essential for problem-solving, decision-making, and effective communication.

What roles can I use the Abstract Reasoning Assessment Test for?

Can I see a sample test, or do you have a free trial?

Yes!

The free trial includes one sample technical test (Java/ JavaScript) and one sample aptitude test that you will find in your dashboard when you sign up. You can use it to review the quality of questions and the candidate experience of giving a test on Adaface.

You can preview any of the 500+ tests and see the sample questions to decide if it would be a good fit for your requirements.

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.

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.
