The Graduate Reasoning Test (GRT1)

The Graduate Reasoning Test (GRT1) is a comprehensive and in-depth measure of mental capacity. This test has been designed to assess the high level reasoning ability required of management and graduate calibre staff. It consists of three sections, bound in one booklet, or administered by computer, which measure Verbal, Numerical and Abstract reasoning. The GRT1 and its relation, the General Reasoning Test have been shown to be predictive of a number of performance criteria in a broad range of occupations.

What the Graduate Reasoning Test Measures

Verbal Reasoning
Measures verbal fluency, vocabulary and the ability to understand and reason using words. This test is appropriate for all jobs that require a high level of verbal ability (e.g., senior sales and administrative positions, systems analysts, marketing and advertising executives).

Numerical Reasoning
Measures the ability to use and understand numerical concepts, to reason using numbers and perceive logical relationships between them. This test is appropriate for all jobs that require a high level of numerical ability (e.g., accountants and others in the financial services sector and for all senior positions that require dealing with financial and technical data).

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 appropriate for all jobs that require bringing logical analysis to bear in novel, intellectually demanding situations (e.g., technical and scientific posts, senior management positions).

Please note that currently, all of the above tests are presented in English only.

Graduate Reasoning Test Reports

The GRT1 produces decision-maker and candidate feedback reports on the competencies detailed in the boxes above.

The GRT1 is quick to complete, taking just half an hour, yet it provides a comprehensive assessment of mental ability. Whilst it has been developed to assess people of graduate ability, only a general level of education is required to successfully complete the test. Therefore, it can be used to assess all potential high calibre staff from all educational backgrounds. Consequently, this test is suitable for graduate recruitment and management assessment and development.
