This battery consists of four tests assessing a range of clerical aptitudes and skills: Verbal Reasoning, Numerical Ability, Clerical Checking and Spelling. Designed for general clerical and administrative positions, tests can either be administered individually to assess a specific aptitude or as a whole battery to produce a candidate profile.

CTB2 and CTBi provide a detailed and comprehensive assessment of a person’s range of clerical skills and aptitudes. The CTB2 or the CTBi is an essential tool for ensuring that clerical and administrative staff have the core skills and aptitudes which are required for successful performance.

Verbal Reasoning measures basic vocabulary, verbal fluency and the ability to reason using words.

Spelling assesses the ability to correctly spell commonly misspelt words. This test provides a quick and reliable measure of the candidate’s ability to spell accurately.

CTB2 or CTBi is quick to administer, taking only 27 minutes plus administration time.
