~ or “psychometric”, cognitive tests
Types of test:
Numerical reasoning
key:
- basic maths: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division
- basic principles: percentages, ratios, averages
Verbal reasoning
Verbal comprehension
Logical reasoning
→ lateral thinking ability
- identify relationships, patterns, trends
Abstract reasoning
→ shapes, patterns
Diagrammatic reasoning
→ manipulate shapes with operations (transpose, rotate, size, inverse colour)
Inductive reasoning
induction: specific events ⇒ generalisation
common patterns
- rotation or flip
- reflection across a line or axis
- alternating
- progression (increase or decrease)
- repeating
- position (clockwise or anti-clockwise)
- combination
Deductive reasoning
deduction: general facts → specific events
Situational judgment
→ a bit like common sense problem-solving, ops management, PM
Spatial reasoning
→ capacity to manipulate 2D/3D objects
- spot patterns between shapes, visualise movements, changes in the shapes
