How do I interpret Numerical Reasoning results?

Our numerical reasoning test measures a candidate's ability to deal with numerical data quickly and accurately under time pressure. Questions often include typical business scenarios as a means of framing the questions. Developed by chartered occupational psychologists, our numerical reasoning test assesses key numerical skills which are essential to the everyday working environment.

Employers use numerical reasoning tests in order to understand a candidate's analytical skills and ability to deal with complex data. As large amounts of data are provided in a variety of formats such as tables, charts and graphs, the candidates are required to quickly interpret the data and perform calculations in order to solve the problems provided.

The numerical reasoning test includes numerical data (presented in a graph or a table) and a series of multiple-choice questions that the candidates need to answer within 10 minutes. The test is timed to ensure candidates are judged both for quality and speed. Typically, candidates will be given about one minute per question.

Candidates will be scored out of 100%, so you get an overview of each candidate's capacities and can make evidence-based decisions when it comes to choosing who will progress into the next stages of the hiring process.
