About the Tests
The SHL on-line ability screening service tests candidates' Verbal Critical Reasoning and Numerical Critical Reasoning skills at four distinct job roles, as well as the recent addition of the Inductive Reasoning skills test for graduate and managerial roles. The service uses random generation so that each candidate receives a unique test to complete. With literally millions of permutations you can be confident that candidates will always receive a unique set of questions. At the same time a complex calibration process ensures that each test has equivalent testing properties.
