What does it measure?

.

This demanding test measures critical thinking skills relevant to problem solving and effective

decision making in organisations.

It measures the application of analytical reasoning across 5 key areas:

• Drawing Inferences

• Recognising Assumptions

• Argument Evaluation

• Deductive Reasoning

• Logical Interpretation.

The test requires consideration of a series of propositions to evaluate how appropriate or valid

they are. Candidates respond to both ‘neutral’ and ‘controversial’ items. The controversial

items are designed to arouse attitudes, opinions and biases that can interfere with the ability

to think critically and refer to political, economic and social issues which frequently provoke

strong feelings.
