About This Test: This is a 20-minute timed Pattern Series / Abstract Reasoning test.
High Scorers: People scoring high on the Pattern Series Test profit from instruction and perform at a high level on mentally challenging tasks. They tend to move quickly into the more demanding jobs in your company. High scorers also continue to grow and mature as your company’s processes change.
Low Scorers: People who do not score well on the Pattern Series Test tend to have trouble with tasks that require reasoning. Low scorers are hard to train because they require a lot of focused, supervised assistance from a supervisor or mentor. They also have difficulty applying what they have learned in formal training sessions. Complex problems tend to be incomprehensible to them, so they either guess, make a lot of mistakes, or call for help from someone more experienced and knowledgeable.
What the Report Gives You: Aptitude scores and interpretation guidance.
Testing Process:
- Immediate score report upon completion.
- Proctoring desirable but not required.
- The use of mobile phones is discouraged.
