The Abstract Reasoning Test (ART)

The Abstract Reasoning Test assesses an individual’s capacity to perceive logical patterns and relationships, and draw rational conclusions from these logical relationships. Often referred to as Fluid Intelligence, abstract reasoning is considered to be the purest form of general mental ability, and is not dependent upon a person’s cultural background or educational experience.

Who is the ART for?
The test has been designed for use with graduate, managerial and professional groups and for those who have to take strategic business decisions.  Abstract reasoning ability is important for roles which require the incumbent to assimilate complex logical material, identify the patterns underlying this material, and draw inferences from this information.

Advantages
The ART has excellent levels of reliability and validity, yet only takes 30 minutes to complete.  It can be completed in pencil-and-paper, or on-screen formats, but to ensure the validity of the test’s results it is not available for unsupervised administration.

Reports for the ART
Decision-maker and candidate feedback reports are provided for the ART. Profile charts in decision-maker reports present the raw score, the number of items attempted, the sten score, and percentile ranks.

The test
The test comprises 35 non-verbal items. Each item consists of a 3 by 3 matrix with one cell left blank. The cells contain abstract patterns which change horizontally and vertically according to a set of logical rules. The respondent’s task is to identify the rules which govern how the pattern changes, and extrapolate from this which design fits the blank cell. The items are presented in order of difficulty, with respondents typically reaching a point in the test beyond which they find it impossible to correctly answer any further questions.
