What it covers
Understanding meaning, conditions, exceptions, changes over time and the limits of written evidence.
Original assessment · development review
Verbal Reasoning
Interpret written information and draw conclusions from what is stated.
Question format
Read a short passage or stated conditions and choose one answer using only the information provided.
30 questions in the standard form, after four untimed practice examples.
One timer for the test
The draft standard duration is 30 minutes. Authorized reviewers can edit it before creating a self-review form. Practice is untimed; the countdown begins at Start assessment.
The deadline stays in place during navigation, saving and refresh. When time expires, saved and submitted responses are retained; skipped and unanswered questions remain visible in the result.
What the result means
Use the area bars to discuss how the person interprets written instructions and checks assumptions. These patterns describe this form rather than a general ability rating.
Scored answers are checked against the assigned form’s key. Accuracy is correct answers divided by all assigned questions, with skipped and unanswered questions retained separately. The breakdown describes only this form.
Draft timings and descriptive results do not establish percentiles, a validated pass mark, comparability between forms or a hiring recommendation.
A useful follow-up
Tell me about a time you clarified an ambiguous instruction. What did you check before acting?
