Logical ReasoningQuestion context
A PRACTICAL GUIDE
Using Logical Reasoning in recruitment.
What does the Logical Reasoning test assess?
Each question shows a sequence or grid of shapes with one missing. The candidate works out the rule behind it, such as rotation, count, position or shading, and chooses the shape that fits. No language, arithmetic or prior knowledge is needed, which is why it suits graduate, analyst, engineering, developer and planning roles where a new hire has to make sense of unfamiliar processes, data or systems.
How can you use the Logical Reasoning results?
Compare the percentage correct and the time taken across your candidates, then ask the strongest to explain a rule in the interview. Treat a low score as a prompt to look closer rather than a verdict: pair the test with a numerical or verbal reasoning test and a short work task, and do not use it to screen roles that are mostly known procedure, customer contact or craft skill.
Where is logical reasoning useful?
- AnalysisEvaluating relationships and drawing supported conclusions.
- Technical rolesWorking through constraints in a logical sequence.
- Operational decisionsChecking what follows from the information provided.
Choosing tests for your vacancy
Choose Logical Reasoning when candidates need to evaluate relationships and draw supported conclusions. Use Numerical Reasoning for decisions based on figures, or Verbal Reasoning for conclusions drawn from written information. Choose the combination around the information the person will use at work.

BEFORE YOU START
Your Logical Reasoning questions, answered.
What does the Logical Reasoning test help me assess?
It explores recognising relationships, evaluating information, drawing conclusions. Use the results to compare candidates on the same questions and identify topics to explore further.
Which Logical Reasoning topics should matter for my role?
Start with the work the person will do. This page covers recognising relationships, evaluating information, drawing conclusions. Decide which of those areas matter for your role before reviewing results, and explore any specialist requirements separately.
Can I combine Logical Reasoning with other tests?
Yes. Add Logical Reasoning alongside other relevant tests in one assessment. Choose the combination for your role and review the total time before inviting candidates.
Can I assess real candidates for free?
Yes. Create your account, build an assessment and invite candidates. Your first 5 candidate results are free. No credit card is required.
What happens after my free results?
You pay per candidate result you unlock, rather than per test. There is no subscription or annual commitment. Check the pricing page for current rates.
How should I use the Logical Reasoning results?
Compare results against the knowledge or ability your role needs. Use them to focus interviews and practical tasks, alongside relevant experience. A test score should not decide who you hire on its own.
