Logical Reasoning Tests

Logical reasoning tests are designed to examine your logical thinking skills.

  • What are logical reasoning tests?

    Logical reasoning tests are designed to examine your logical thinking skills. During the test, you’ll be met with questions regarding various patterns and shape sequences, and you’ll have to employ rational thinking to solve the challenges. In general, the logical thinking test can come in three different forms - deductive, inductive or abstract. Each one is slightly different, but all are probing for logic. The test might feature a type of question you’re just not used to, so we recommend practising logical reasoning tests, and as many as you can, before you take the test you’ve been working towards. As you’ll be well aware, the financial sector is incredibly competitive so preparing for your logical reasoning test is a great way to get ahead.

  • Why do employers use logical reasoning tests?

    Employers will set this type of test if they need to hire a person with excellent logical skills. Often, a pool of applicants look well matched on paper and have a similar level of expertise and experience - and this is where an aptitude test such as the logical reasoning test is so valuable. It allows the employer to get a clearer picture of all of the applicants’ skills, and therefore, choose the one most suited to the role. Many finance companies select this test as logical thinking and an ability to solve problems quickly and accurately are highly valued skills.

  • What is the logical reasoning test format?

    You’ll be faced with multiple questions asking you to solve challenges based on patterns, shapes and visual riddles. Using your logic, you’ll have to determine the rules or sequences linking the images together before selecting the correct multiple choice answer. Typically you have less than a minute to answer each question, so maintaining a balance between speed and accuracy is important. This type of question may not be familiar to you, and whether it is or not we always recommend practising a few tests to get to grips with the kind of questions you’re likely to be asked.

  • What skills does logical reasoning test?

    Logical reasoning tests your ability to solve problems, to work quickly under pressure and, of course, your logic. You may see deductive reasoning questions (this judges your ability to proceed from the general to the specific), you may have inductive questions (this time it’s the other way around, they’ll measure your ability to proceed from the specific to the general) and then finally there are abstract questions (these examine how you can find the simplest or most likely answer based on different observations).

    Sequential drawing logic

    I like this test because the test is not complicated, and I don't like this test because the picture is not big enough.

    How to solve - think strategically

    A few questions were tricky but tried to solve. Want to understand their answer and how it is derived.

    Interesting

    I liked the the fact that the sequences are not straight forward hence giving room for Brain storming

    Good stuff

    Seems a bit easy. My top takeway is to look at individual elements instead of the figure as a whole, it will be easier to process and you can eliminate many options by seeing one element on the wrong position. But I don’t know if sometimes this might lead you to a wrong answer
