Identify Logical Thinkers with the Mathematical Logical Reasoning Test

Evaluate how candidates apply mathematical rules, detect flawed logic, and draw sound conclusions.

Mathematical Logical Reasoning

The Mathematical Logical Reasoning Test is one of the nine assessments available in the FinxS Cognitive Ability suite. It measures a person’s current ability to apply logic, evaluate arguments, and use mathematical thinking to support decision-making. This is particularly relevant in roles involving data analysis, auditing, resource allocation, and technical problem-solving.

The test helps identify individuals who are comfortable using numbers and logical reasoning to interpret data and reach accurate conclusions under pressure.

What Does This Test Measure?

This assessment focuses on how well a person can:
• Evaluate the logical structure of arguments
• Apply mathematical concepts to practical problems
• Detect false conclusions
• Use numbers to support decision-making

A candidate with strong mathematical reasoning may ask questions like:

“What is the best method to solve this?”
“If X is greater than Y, then what does that mean for Z?”

These skills are critical for roles requiring structured thinking, accuracy, and objectivity.

When to Use This Test

Use the Mathematical Logical Reasoning Test to:

  • Evaluate analytical thinking in finance, auditing, data science, or operations
  • Support hiring decisions for roles requiring decision-making based on numbers or rules
  • Identify development opportunities for existing staff
  • Benchmark logical decision-making across departments or teams

Gain a clearer insight into a candidate’s potential​

How the Test Works

The mathematic logical test is timed, candidates have 10 minutes to complete up to 18 true or false questions. Candidates are presented with short statements and asked to determine if the reasoning is logically valid. Each question is designed to assess the candidate’s ability to apply logical rules and avoid reasoning errors. For example, ‘a building with 14 stories is higher than the combination of a 4 story one and another building that is twice as high.’ Candidates should expect to spend approximately 30 seconds per question. 

The test adapts in difficulty, allowing you to distinguish between moderate and advanced levels of reasoning ability.

Hiring managers and consultants receive an automatic report including:

  • Total score and number of correct responses
  • Speed and accuracy comparison
  • Time spent per question
  • Benchmarking against relevant populations
