Spot Sharp Thinkers Fast with the Abstract Logical Reasoning Test
Reveal how candidates process new information, identify patterns, and make decisions under pressure.
The Abstract Logical Reasoning Test measures a person’s ability to recognise patterns, understand abstract relationships, and solve unfamiliar problems. It assesses how candidates interpret visual information and apply logical thinking to reach conclusions – all without relying on language or prior knowledge.
This test forms part of the FinxS Cognitive Ability suite and provides valuable insight into how a person approaches complexity and new situations.
People who perform well on this test often pick up new ideas quickly, adapt to change, and are comfortable working with ambiguity or unfamiliar tasks.
This test is especially useful when evaluating:
The Abstract Logical Reasoning Test consists of up to 30 timed, multiple-choice questions designed to assess how candidates understand and interpret abstract concepts and relationships.
Each question presents a visual scenario — typically involving shapes arranged in specific ways — and asks the candidate to choose the diagram that best represents the relationship between a set of categories (e.g. “Animals, Cats, Dogs”).
The questions increase in difficulty as the test progresses. A sample item is included at the start to help candidates become familiar with the format.
As a hiring manager or consultant, you’ll receive an automatically generated report that includes:
