What is a cognitive ability test?
Cognitive skills refer to the human ability to perform complex tasks closely associated with problem-solving and learning. The human brain uses cognitive skills to think, learn, read, remember, concentrate and focus on daily tasks and process new information.
Assessing candidates' cognitive skills and selecting those who align with a company's goals and strategies can help build winning teams.
Understanding the science behind cognitive assessments
Intelligence = Cognitive Intelligence + Emotional Intelligence
Fluid intelligence is the ability to solve unfamiliar problems, by making use of logical reasoning and decoding patterns. For example, solving a business problem or a puzzle.
Core competencies:
Abstract Reasoning
Spatial Reasoning
Visual Reasoning
Cognitive Intelligence
Crystallized intelligence, on the other hand, is the ability to use learned knowledge and experience. For example, solving a mathematical problem using a formula.
Core competencies:
Verbal Ability Tests
Logical & Critical Reasoning Tests
Problem Solving Tests
Decision Making & Judgemental Tests
Assessing fluid and crystallised intelligence both are critical for a comprehensive cognitive evaluation of your workforce.
