Business Reasoning Test
Unlike standalone aptitude tests, our Quest Business Reasoning Test presents candidates with realistic business scenarios blending verbal reasoning (written analysis and critical thinking) and numerical reasoning (interpreting data, performing calculations, and spotting patterns). This mirrors real work situations, where data rarely exists in isolation—professionals are expected to digest and act upon mixed data formats simultaneously.
Introducing the Quest Business Reasoning Test - Seamless Integration of Verbal & Numerical Skills Testing
The test’s adaptive format adjusts question difficulty based on the candidate’s performance, ensuring a precise assessment in just 24 questions, typically completed in 35 minutes.
Furthermore, weighted scoring places higher value on tougher questions, offering more nuanced insight into ability than traditional point-per-question models
This reflects the demands of real business environments where precision often matters more than haste. Completion time is included as a benchmark.
Results Include:
- Total Business Reasoning Score – A composite measure of overall ability balanced across styles and difficulty.
- Verbal Critical Reasoning Score – Clarity and comprehension in written business narratives.
- Numerical Critical Reasoning Score – Accuracy in data interpretation and calculation, including non-numerical data relationships.
Holistic Performance Prediction
Studies show cognitive assessments combining verbal and numerical analysis better predict job performance, especially in roles handling mixed data streams.
