The G-CAT is designed to measure core cognitive abilities that are critical to success across a wide range of occupational roles. By providing objective, reliable, and valid measures of these abilities, the G-CAT helps organizations make more informed, evidence-based decisions when selecting and developing talent. The G-CAT evaluates cognitive abilities that are essential for problem-solving, decisionmaking, and other mentally demanding tasks. These abilities are assessed through carefully designed non-verbal tasks to ensure fairness across diverse populations.

The G-CAT comprises assessments of numerical, spatial and abstract reasoning ability, which scores are combined to generate a General Cognitive Ability score. 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.
