What Does the Colour Path Test Assess?

Colour Path is a game-based test of spatial reasoning. Candidates join each pair of matching dots on a grid with a path, so that no paths cross and every cell is used. Each pair is marked by a shape as well as a colour, so the test does not depend on colour vision. Every puzzle has exactly one solution.

• - Spatial planning: Seeing how paths can fit together across the whole grid.
• - Logical deduction: Working out which routes are forced and which are ruled out.
• - Persistence and flexibility: Undoing a path and trying another route when the first one blocks the grid.

Who Should Take This Test?

Colour Path is designed for entry-level to graduate roles:

• - Graduates
• - Apprentices and school leavers
• - Technical and engineering roles
• - Operational and logistics roles

Colour Path Test Format

• - Timed: 10 minutes
• - Grids of 6×6 to 8×8 with 4 to 7 pairs
• - Pairs marked by colour and shape, so colour vision is not needed
• - Each puzzle has exactly one solution; one point for each puzzle solved
• - Delivered on iTestHub

Colour Path Test Report

Results are reported in the same way as our other tests: an Assessor Report showing the candidate's score band (Very Low to Very High) with interview questions, and a Candidate Report with no scores, giving supportive development advice.

How to Do Well in Your Colour Path Test

• Start with the edges: Pairs near the edges and corners usually have fewer possible routes.
• Look for forced moves: If a cell can only be reached one way, draw that path first.
• Fill every cell: A solution leaves no empty squares, so a gap means a path needs to move.
• Undo freely: Changing a path costs nothing, so try a different route if you get stuck.
