The fluid reasoning test (45 min.) has as main objective of measuring the cognitive capacity, that is, the learning capacity of each person. When we analyze selection methods and their efficiency in predicting performance, cognitive ability is, in most studies, considered the best method.

However, it’s important to note that there is a variation between positions. In more complex positions the correlation with performance tends to be higher. In less complex positions, which require more repetition to get good results, it`s not as relevant. But overall, it tends to be a great predictor of success in the position itself.

The methodology we use behind our fluid reasoning test is CHC – Cattel Horn Carrol. This theory has evolved over the years and every year new studies are carried out and new discoveries are made. In general, the objective of the methodology is to measure the cognitive capacity of the person who performs it using questions that do not

depend on prior knowledge, only on the ability to identify patterns and solve puzzles.

So, unlike the logic tests we've come across, Mindsight's Fluid Reasoning Test does not give advantages to people who have done it before. Regardless of the person's educational and work history, the objective of the assessment is to be able to measure their cognitive ability and not their ability to do math.

Adaptive Reasoning Test: It follows the same methodology as the Fluid Reasoning Test, but with an improved structure allowing to obtain the same result and a shorter time for the candidate to perform. (20 min.)
