We have four types of online assessments:

  • Verbal reasoning
  • Numerical reasoning
  • Inductive-logical reasoning
  • 麻豆社 Culture Match

    The assessments you鈥檙e assigned will be dependent on the business area you鈥檙e applying to. They need to be completed within seven days of receiving the invitation email and should be completed only by the applicant. Please note, you won鈥檛 be able to complete the assessments after the deadline. You also won鈥檛 be able to retake them, so make sure you can focus.

    Why do companies use online assessments?

    The abilities and behaviors we learn about from them are a great way to get unbiased information about the candidate.

    What are the verbal or numerical reasoning tests about?

    These look at how you draw logical conclusions from complex verbal or numerical information from tables and charts.

    And the inductive-logical reasoning test?

    This is a fun one. You鈥檒l be looking at logical rules in patterns and then applying them to different sets of patterns.
