The Role Of Aptitude Tests

Aptitude testing is an increasingly common way for employers to evaluate potential candidates before they are recruited. Such assessments help recruiters assess the skill of candidates in the following areas:

Numerical Reasoning Tests (Maths); Verbal Reasoning Tests (English Language);

Non-Verbal Reasoning Tests (Problem Solving);

Abstract Reasoning (Ability to interpret patterns);

Spatial Reasoning (Rotating 2 and 3-dimensional shapes);

Mechanical Comprehension (Commonly used in engineering and mechanical roles).

What Are Aptitude Tests?

Aptitude tests help employers assess whether you have the right skills for a job. For example, an administrative assistant role may require a verbal reasoning test to check your spelling, grammar,and reading comprehension. Many tests are now online, but some employers still use in-person assessment centers. These tests are often used early to filter candidates before interviews.

Below Is An Explanation Of The Types Of Aptitude Test Questions You Will Need To Prepare For:

Verbal Reasoning 

Language/Verbal Comprehension tests are commonly used in assessments to test your ability in spelling, punctuation, grammar, reading and comprehension.

Non-Verbal/Inductive Reasoning 

Non-Verbal Reasoning is a type of cognitive ability test, usually using shapes and patterns to make questions that test your general logical ability and intelligence. 

Spatial Reasoning 

Spacial reasoning is a type of non-verbal reasoning often separated into its own category. It is used to assess your spatial awareness and logical thinking – often depicted in questions asking you to work out how an image of shape has moved, rotated, or mirrored.

Mechanical Comprehension 

For more technical roles where mechanical knowledge is needed (such as joining the Navy) mechanical aptitude tests are used to assess applied mechanical ability to a range of mechanical principles and include questions on pulleys, weights, levers and circuits.

Numerical Reasoning 

Numerical reasoning is one of the most popular test types and is used in nearly every aptitude assessment. This assesses candidates mathematical ability and will vary in difficulty depending on the role.
