Human intelligence has been one of the most studied (and probably most debated) concepts in the area field of psychology and behavioral sciences. The source of differing mental abilities has been a time-honoured source of debate. A variety of approaches have been introduced to define and measure intelligence for practical purposes (like predicting academic achievements, career potential, job fitment etc.). As per the most acceptable and practical definitions, intelligence relates to a range of differing capabilities, such as the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend ideas and language, and learn.

There are several ways to define intelligence, but for most practical purposes the intelligence is defined as a multi-faceted concept composed of different aspects, such as numerical, verbal and logical factors. The Reasoning Test (Intelligence Quotient Test) evaluates the speed of a person's reasoning abilities on these factors.

KEY FEATURES OF THE TEST

• Evaluates the general intelligence of the candidate. It gives a global IQ score measured against the population average, allowing comparison of results among candidates).
• Evaluates three different factors: Logical, Verbal and Numerical reasoning capacities.
• Administered via email within a prescribed time limit.
• A valid item bank of questions developed by specialists at CTI, thereby maintaining the exclusivity of test items.
• Scientifically validated on a large sample of individuals.
• This test is reserved for our professional customers (corporate, schools, recruiters, etc) and is not available for the general public or web surfers.

• OBJECTIVE
  Evaluation of reasoning skills on logical, numerical and verbal abilities
• TARGET GROUPS: All categories (Job seekers, employees, etc...)
• EXCLUSIVE BUSINESS VERSION: The Reasoning test has been designed for the exclusive use of recruiters and HR professionals.
• QUESTIONNAIRE
  • This test is composed of 42 questions that evaluate your logical, verbal, and numerical abilities.
  • Time limited to 35 minutes (chronometered)
• SAMPLE QUESTIONS
  1. (logical factor)
     Find the letter that best completes the folllowing series D, C, B, A, E, F, G, H, L, K, J, I?
  2. Mary is four years old. Elizabeth is three times older than Mary.What age would Elizabeth be when she is twice as old as Mary ?
  3. (numerical factor) Complete the following series : 9 – 85 – 845 - 8445 – ? – 844445
  4. (verbal factor)
     Identify the word closest to: "Procrastinate"
     • Diminish
     • State
     • Swindle
     • Defer
     • Proceed
• Presentation of the Results (View Sample)
  • Scores : IQ, logical, numerical and verbal abilities
  • General description of the evaluated factors
  • Detailed results with the solutions of the test
• Psychometric validation This test was subject to a statistical validation study carried out on thousands of individuals. We found that the distribution of scores for these three factors (Numerical, Verbal and Logical) is normal, with an average close to 5 and a standard deviation close to 1.5.

Your IQ (Intelligence Quotient) is calculated from your raw scores relating to these three factors. Firstly, raw scores for each of the logical, verbal and numerical factors are transformed into a single weighted mean score ranging from 1 to 10.

Then, all the mean scores are converted so that the average should come to 100 with a standard deviation of 15 according to the formula below:

IQ = (Person X – Population X) / Population SD) * 15 +100

Where, Person X= weighted mean score of the test taker from the three dimensions. Population X= weighted mean score of population from the three dimensions. Population SD= standard deviation of population’s score.

While calculating the weighted mean score, this test gives equal share to each of the Logical, Verbal and Numerical factors. Scores on Logical, Verbal and Numerical intelligence (on a scale of 1 to 10) are additionally deduced from the answers given (from the questions specific to these factors).
