The General Reasoning Test (GRT2)

The General Reasoning Test (GRT2) is a broad range ability test that has been designed to assess across general ability.

  • It is a comprehensive, detailed and accurate measure of mental ability.
  • It consists of three sections, bound in one booklet or administered via a computer. These sections measure Verbal, Numerical and Abstract Reasoning.
  • The test requires only a basic level of education and consequently can be used to assess all levels of staff. The test is particularly useful for identifying staff who are likely to benefit from further training and development, and those who demonstrate promotion potential.
  • In addition, it is useful for assessing whether applicants have the minimum ability level needed for a particular job.

What the General Reasoning Test Measures

Verbal Reasoning
Measures basic vocabulary, verbal fluency and the ability to reason using words. This test is appropriate for all clerical and administrative jobs, as well as junior sales positions and any jobs that require a basic level of verbal ability.

Numerical Reasoning
Measures the ability to use numbers efficiently in a logical and efficient way. It will be useful for assessing potential and existing staff in any job which requires a fair level of numerical ability (e.g., accounts clerks and technical roles).

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 therefore ideally suited to assess individuals of various educational backgrounds and cultural groups.
