A PRACTICAL GUIDE
Using Spatial Reasoning in recruitment.
What does the Spatial Reasoning test assess?
Each question shows shapes or objects and asks what comes next, which view matches, or how a shape looks after it is rotated or folded. It measures the ability to hold and manipulate a picture in the mind, which is what reading a technical drawing, assembling a component or planning a layout depends on. No prior knowledge is needed.
How can you use the Spatial Reasoning results?
Use the score to shortlist, then give finalists a small real task: a drawing to interpret or an assembly to describe. Combine spatial reasoning with a mechanical reasoning test for engineering and maintenance roles, and with a numerical reasoning test for design and planning roles that also work with measurements.
Where is spatial reasoning useful?
- DesignVisualising how shapes relate in different orientations.
- EngineeringReasoning about objects and spatial relationships.
- Technical workUnderstanding rotations and changes in perspective.
Choosing tests for your vacancy
Choose Spatial Reasoning when the role involves visualising objects, rotations and changes in perspective. Use Diagrammatic Reasoning for following diagram rules, or Mechanical Reasoning for physical principles. A spatial score does not establish drawing, design or equipment-handling skills on its own.

BEFORE YOU START
Your Spatial Reasoning questions, answered.
What does the Spatial Reasoning test help me assess?
It explores shapes & objects, rotation & orientation, visual relationships. Use the results to compare candidates on the same questions and identify topics to explore further.
Which Spatial Reasoning topics should matter for my role?
Start with the work the person will do. This page covers shapes & objects, rotation & orientation, visual relationships. Decide which of those areas matter for your role before reviewing results, and explore any specialist requirements separately.
Can I combine Spatial Reasoning with other tests?
Yes. Add Spatial 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 Spatial 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.
