Cognitive Matrices
The test is based on Spearman's theory of cognitive abilities, according to which the g-factor consists of two components: educational and reproductive abilities. Following Raven's standard progressive matrices (1994), the intention was to construct a test appropriate to assess the educational component of the g-factor, which relates to the ability to discern, perceive and detect relationships.
Tasks were administered multiple times in research settings and on candidates in selection processes. Finally, test was defined with a total of 28 tasks. Preliminary analyzes indicate satisfactory reliability of the internal consistency type. The administration and scoring of the test are completely objective.
Odd One Out S
Odd one out S test is intended to examine abstract thinking that involves mental rotation and logical reasoning. The test is designed in response to the needs of organizational psychologists for a test that can quickly differentiate job candidates according to cognitive abilities. The test is intended for individual or group application via computer. In digital form, the test consists of 30 tasks with 4 frames in a row, among which you need to find one that is significantly different from the others, that is, you need to find and eliminate "odd one".
The test is designed for everyday and rapid assessments in selection situations or in occupational medicine. In addition, due to the digital transformation of society as a whole and the dynamic labor market and the need for faster application and processing of test results, there is a need for a new, original test that is validated and can be applied in digital form. Due to its weight, the Odd one out test form "A" (or "Advanced") is more suitable for testing candidates for higher and higher positions, while the Odd one out test form "S" (or "Standard") is more suitable for testing candidates for lower, middle or possibly higher education.
The metric characteristics of the test were built little by little, in numerous applications, processing, analysis and changes, and in a period of several years on a sample of 15,000 job candidates. The distribution of ease of tasks and reliability of the type of internal consistency was confirmed on several samples of respondents in selection situations, on internal assessments in organizations and in occupational medicine.
Odd One Out A
The Odd one out test has various forms. They differ based on their purpose and difficulty.
The Odd one out test form "A" (or "Advanced") is more suitable for testing candidates for higher and more difficult job positions, while the Odd one out test form "S" (or "Standard") is more suitable for testing candidates for lower, middle or possibly higher education.
Continue the Sequence 8.5
The test is designed to assess general intelligence. It proved its value for evaluations, emphasizing the need for objective, efficient, and practical testing methods. Through a series of tasks involving logical sequences, it aims to gauge an individual's general intelligence while also tapping into spatial abilities.
Continue the sequence 8.5 represents a high-quality psychometric test applicable in various scenarios where understanding one's general cognitive ability is crucial. Its digital format ensures effortless administration and fully objective scoring. Validation studies have confirmed its strong internal consistency and validity.
*Critical Reasoning Test - Verbal Test
Critical Reasoning Test - Verbal Test (CRT-V) evaluates the ability to respond to plausible company situations, requiring the processing of the presented data. Candidates are required to deduce information from a document, evaluate the impact of new information on current convictions and establish their implicit assumptions, based on the available information.
*Critical Reasoning Tests - Numerical Test
Critical Reasoning Test - Numerical Test (CRT-N) is an instrument that has been specifically designed to be used in selecting candidates that will cover managerial functions or that imply decisional processes in the use of resources. This test assesses mastery of the fundamental cognitive capacities necessary for the success of any managerial role.
The Numerical CRT ascertains if a candidate is able to interpret numerical information presented in a variety of realistic prospectuses; this implies a capacity to extrapolate numerical data pertaining to the set of information sources available and to combine them in order to reach the required conclusions. Furthermore, the test includes items that require the candidate to recognise that the data supplied is insufficient to formulate a definitive answer, as occurs in many real life situations.
The test is suitable for candidates with a minimum of secondary school education. It contains of a series of numerical problems, designed to address the ability of critical reasoning. Test items include various graphical and numerical data and a participant is asked to give an answer based only on supplied information. Although it requires certain mathematical calculations, the use of calculator is not allowed.
Find the Right Word
This test is a measure of verbal ability. It consists of a series of tasks of synonyms and antonyms, which differ in their difficulty and discrimination, and are grouped around one factor.
It is a test of high internal consistency, which aims to capture verbal comprehension and knowledge of words. This test provides information on the level of development of verbal comprehension in individuals. As a short measure of verbal ability, it is suitable for a variety of situations where a quick assessment of verbal ability is required. Due to its good psychometric characteristics, it is an instrument that can contribute to the quality of various organizational assessments.
Numerical Factor - Calculating
The calculation test contains a series of mathematical tasks requiring the usage of mathematical operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Since the result on this test presents the measure of numerical factor of intelligence, its solving requires quick and accurate usage of mathematical operations and only basic level of knowledge in calculating.
Numerical Factor - Logical Concluding
The test measures the ability to perform mathematical reasoning tasks. In order for a test to assess logical reasoning rather than computational skill, a low level of computational knowledge is required. The ability of numerical reasoning is important in a series of professions such as bookkeeping, laboratory work, carpentry and tool making.
Perceptual Speed
Perceptual Speed and Accuracy Test measures the ability of quick and accurate comparisons and markings of written lists. Tasks in a test do not require reasoning skills, but the emphasis is on speed.
This test can predict the success in certain routine clerical tasks, such as coding and file creation. Good results in this test are also preferred in some jobs that use technical and scientific data.
Spatial Test
Spatial test is intended for measuring the ability to visualize a three-dimensional object based on the offered two-dimensional design. It also includes the ability to visualize an object after rotation in space. In each task of this test, one object is offered followed by 6 two-dimensional drawings. The task of the respondents is to choose the draft from which the offered object is made.
Occupations in which an individual is required to imagine what an object would look like from the parts offered are architecture, art, drawing, design, carpentry, dentistry.
Spatial Factor
Spacial factor measures spatial abilities, i.e. the ability to mentally visualize and orient geometric figures in space, as well as the ability to compare two-dimensional representations of three-dimensional figures. To successfully solve this test, it is necessary to recognize the connections between objects so that they move mentally in space.

FAQ
What’s the difference between cognitive test and IQ test?
In essence, cognitive and IQ tests share similarities. “IQ” (Intelligence Quotient) distinctly denotes scores from cognitive ability assessments in comparison to the broader population.
What is the purpose of cognitive tests?
Cognitive tests are designed to evaluate various aspects of cognitive functioning, such as memory, attention, reasoning, and problem-solving skills. They are commonly used in clinical, educational, and in research.
What’s the meaning of ‘’cognitive’’?
“Cognitive” refers to mental processes related to various aspects of perception, memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making that contribute to how individuals process and interpret information in their environment.
