Purpose of Assessment

The Graduate Reasoning Test (GRT1) is a comprehensive and in-depth measure of mental capacity. This test has been designed to assess the high level reasoning ability required of management and graduate caliber staff. It consists of three sections: which measure Verbal, Numerical and Abstract reasoning. 

As mental ability has been consistently found to be the best single predictor of job performance, the GRT1 is an essential tool for cost-effective graduate selection and assessment. 

How it improves the evaluation process

GRT1 provides a comprehensive assessment of high level mental ability. It is quick to complete, taking 28 minutes plus administration time. As mental ability has been consistently found to be the best single predictor of job performance, the GRT1 is an essential tool for cost-effective graduate selection and assessment. It is available online.

Delivery & Reporting Results

The GRT1 is quick to complete, taking just half an hour, yet it provides a comprehensive assessment of mental ability. A general level of education is required to successfully complete the test.

The Graduate Reasoning Test Measures: 

Verbal Reasoning

Measures verbal fluency, vocabulary and the ability to understand and reason using words. This test is appropriate for all jobs that require a high level of verbal ability (e.g., senior sales and administrative positions, systems analysts, marketing and advertising executives).

Numerical Reasoning

Measures the ability to use and understand numerical concepts, to reason using numbers and perceive logical relationships between them. This test is appropriate for all jobs that require a high level of numerical ability (e.g., accountants and others in the financial services sector and for all senior positions that require dealing with financial and technical data).

Abstract Reasoning

Measures the ability to understand abstract logical problems and use new information outside the range of previous experience. This is the purest form of mental ability and is least affected by previous education and achievement. It is appropriate for all jobs that require bringing logical analysis to bear in novel, intellectually demanding situations (e.g., technical and scientific posts, senior management positions)

Validity, Reliability and Reported information

GRT1 has been completed by thousands of people worldwide from a variety of occupations and cultural backgrounds. As a result, an extensive range of norms exist enabling respondents’ results to be compared to those obtained by a wide range of professional groups.
