About Inductive Reasoning

Inductive reasoning is the ability to think logically and solve abstract problems. Inductive reasoning is a major facet of general cognitive ability, the strongest overall predictor of job performance. As a result, inductive reasoning tests are powerful predictors of performance at work, especially in combination with other aptitude tests.

Insights suite of ability tests

The insights suite of ability tests employs the latest developments in aptitude testing technology. Insights uses computer adaptive technology to increase accuracy, reduce administration time and improve candidate experience. Insights computer adaptive technology tailors question difficulty to the candidate's performance, honing in on the candidate's level of ability. Candidates are never bored by easy questions, or discouraged by excessively difficult questions. Instead, every candidate's test is challenging and engaging, but not overwhelming.

FAQs

Commonly asked questions.

  • How much does it cost?

    We charge on a per-candidate basis, not on a per-assessment basis. Please visit our pricing page for more information.

  • What level are these tests designed for?

    This is one of the advantages of our adaptive test technology; this inductive test is suitable for all levels. This includes: school leavers; administrative; graduates; managers; professionals; and senior executive. Every level is covered.

  • How do you protect candidate data?

    We're glad you asked! This is something Test Partnership are quite passionate about and we have implemented privacy by design principles throughout our organisation. We have a whole host of safeguards including: access control; encryption; firewalls; retention policies; and anonymisation. To see all the steps we take please see our GDPR page.

Candidate tips

Inductive reasoning tests assess your ability to think logically and apply rules and patterns. This is a form of psychometric test designed by professional occupational psychologists and the results predict how well you will perform in the workplace. This is the key difference with other tests or exams you may have taken before. Psychometric tests are not like exams. Exams test your ability to remember learned skills whilst psychometric tests assess your innate mental horsepower.

Always refer back to the images presented to avoid making silly mistakes. Some of the differences between possible responses may be slight, so do your best to pay attention to the details.

You are not likely to require prior knowledge when completing inductive reasoning tests and they are largely considered "language free". This is so that everyone has the same chance regardless of education.

Make sure you not only read the instructions but you understand them. Take a moment to familiarise yourself with the images displayed and try to identify underlying patterns or rules, before jumping straight in.

Check you have everything you might need: your glasses, pens, pencils and rough paper. The time per question will be displayed on-screen however try not to let the timer distract you. If you lose internet connection during the test, don't worry, simply log back in and continue from where you were.
