Cognitive Ability

How quickly do you spot the pattern?

A short, timed test of reasoning across three kinds of problem — abstract patterns, number sequences and word relationships. You get an indicative score and a clear read of where you're sharp and where to sharpen.

See how it feels — solve a few.

One sample from each section — abstract patterns, number sequences and word reasoning. No catch: pick an answer and we'll show you the rule. (The real test generates fresh items every sitting, so these are illustrative only.)

How the test works

  • ~20 minutes, timed. Three short sections; the clock runs continuously and submits for you at zero.
  • An indicative score. On a familiar 100‑average scale, with a band and a per‑section breakdown — plus a PDF to keep.
  • Generated fresh each time. Every sitting is different, so answers can't be shared or memorised.

What it measures

Three kinds of reasoning.

Each section taps a different strand of problem‑solving, and your result breaks the score down across all three so you can see your shape, not just a single number.

Abstract reasoning

Spot the pattern and complete the grid.

Numerical reasoning

Find what comes next in the sequence.

Verbal reasoning

Analogies, odd-one-out and word meaning.

One signal, not a verdict

Cognitive ability is a useful snapshot of reasoning under time — but it's a snapshot, sensitive to focus, rest and practice, and it isn't a clinical IQ. We report it as an indicative score and frame it as one input among many: best read alongside interviews, work samples and references, never on its own.
