Ability Tests


Lots of companies use Ability Tests during their recruitment process, particularly for managerial and graduate roles. Essentially, Ability Tests measure your abilities or skills to perform effectively in specific roles. With a greater understanding of how Ability Tests work, you are likely to put your best foot forward when you are invited to take one whilst applying for a new job.

Our Ability Test range is designed to reflect the different skills and demands of various types and levels of roles:


1. Reasoning Tests: aimed at managers & graduates

2. Analysis Tests: aimed at apprentices & higher education

3. Comprehension Tests: aimed at operational & customer service roles

The tests assess a range of different skills from verbal and numerical to error checking and mechanical comprehension.

Our Ability Tests provide valuable insight into the abilities of individuals. With our careful consideration of aesthetics and precision in assessment design, we have created Ability Tests that both engage candidates and accurately assess their abilities. We also create bespoke Ability Tests to assess specific abilities or skills that organisations want to measure in candidates.
