This test is suited to all levels of ability and will reveal a respondent’s ability by identifying the level of question difficulty the respondent can successfully complete. This test will identify employees who will likely benefit from further training, those who demonstrate promotion potential and assessing that applicants have the minimum ability for a particular role. Since this test will be different for individuals, based on their ability, no general timeframe can be assumed. The test measures verbal and numerical ability, as well as the ability to understand abstract logical relationships and understand new information outside the range of previous experience.
Based on the latest and most sophisticated Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) technology, Adapt-g is an efficient way of yielding maximum information in minimum time. Unlike classical testing, CAT testing does not require respondents to complete a fixed set of questions. Instead, CAT tests reveal a respondent’s ability by identifying the level of question difficulty the respondent can successfully complete. In this way, the test is designed to provide high accuracy and precision with far fewer items than would be required for a typical non-adaptive test. The Adapt-g is specifically developed to assess verbal, numerical and abstract reasoning domains of ability.
Verbal Reasoning measures verbal fluency, vocabulary and the ability to reason using words. This test is appropriate for all jobs which require a level of verbal ability (e.g. administrative staff, sales positions, system analysts, and executives).
Numerical Reasoning measures the ability to use and understand numerical concepts, to reason using numbers and perceive logical relationships between them. This test is appropriate for all jobs which require a level of numerical ability (e.g. accountants, financial advisors, sales positions).
Abstract Reasoning measures the ability to understand abstract logical relationships and reasoning new information outside the range of previous experience. This is the purest form of mental ability and is least affected by previous education and achievement. It is appropriate for all jobs which require bringing logical analysis to bear in novel, intellectually demanding situations.
