General Cognitive Ability Test

The General Cognitive Ability Test comprises assessments of verbal, numerical, spatial and abstract reasoning ability, which scores are combined to generate a General Cognitive Ability score, known as “g”. This resulting score reflects a person’s ability to solve problems, extract and apply information, learn new skills and deal with complex situations. A person with a higher score is more likely to be a quick learner, and good performer as compared to a person with a lower score.

Detailed Test Report

Upon completion of the General Cognitive Ability Test by any candidate, you have the option to either download or print a comprehensive test report.
The first page of this report provides a quick overview of the candidate’s overall performance in the test. To contextualize the candidate’s results, they are benchmarked against a norm group, yielding a percentile ranking. For instance, a candidate scoring 70 has performed as well as, or better than, 70% of the 5,000 individuals included in our 2013 test norming study.
You may choose to compare a candidate’s performance either with the entire norm group or with a specific segment of this group.
