This test is suitable to be used in both recruitment and development settings. General mental ability is defined as the ability of an individual to learn, reason, observe and solve problems. The GMA measures certain specific constructs like verbal reasoning, numeric reasoning and abstract reasoning.
Responses to GMA are scored based on how many correct options a respondent chooses. Each item answered correctly is awarded 1 mark and items answered incorrectly or not attempted are given a 0 (zero) mark. An individual’s overall score is an average of all items answered correctly. The scores are then converted into Sten scores, which bring these scores into a 10 point scale. A score of 1 indicates low performance and a score of 10 indicates high performance.

Developmental Tips
• Analyse statements/issues logically and come up with appropriate solutions.
• When solving problems, try to brainstorm and look at a problem through various perspectives.
• Think creatively - which requires looking at a problem from all the directions and not just relying on a single aspect of the mind.
• Try to analyze information given in the form of graphs, charts and table to see the bigger picture or trend behind facts.
Suggested Activities/ Tasks
• Try to connect the unknown facts to the known ones to make a quick understanding of the new concepts.
• When faced with a new or difficult problem, think through the chain of causes leading to the problem. Write down or draw a diagram outlining the chain of events. Break it down into its component parts. Review the causes to see where prevention might be most effective.
• Try to look for points that are not mentioned directly but can be concluded indirectly by looking at the graphs, charts and tables.
