A PRACTICAL GUIDE
Using the Graduate Researcher assessment.
What does the full assessment tell you?
This template combines multiple-choice questions in Critical Thinking, Inductive Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning. It brings together evidence about reasoning, learning and working with others, giving you areas to explore when preparing a project update from a short brief.
How can you use the results?
Review each result against your vacancy’s responsibilities. Use a short task based on preparing a project update from a short brief to explore practical application. Ask them to explain their reasoning, identify missing information and describe their next step.
Which results matter for your vacancy?
- Critical ThinkingUse a short Critical Thinking work sample to explore how they apply inference and recognising assumptions.
- Inductive ReasoningUse a short Inductive Reasoning work sample to explore how they apply identifying patterns and inferring rules.
- Verbal ReasoningAsk them to distinguish facts from assumptions in a short written brief.
- Numerical ReasoningAsk them to interpret a table, calculate a rate and explain what the figures imply.

BEFORE YOU START
Your questions, answered.
Can I tailor this assessment to my Graduate Researcher vacancy?
Yes. Start with Critical Thinking, Inductive Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning, then keep the tests that match your responsibilities. For example, use Critical Thinking to explore inference. You can add or remove tests before inviting candidates.
Does this assess practical Graduate Researcher work?
Candidates answer multiple-choice questions in Critical Thinking, Inductive Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning online. They do not complete your day-to-day work inside your own systems. Add a short work sample based on preparing a project update from a short brief to explore application alongside the test results.
Why is Critical Thinking included?
Shows whether candidates can judge an argument, spot what it assumes and tell which conclusions follow. Use a short Critical Thinking work sample to explore how they apply inference and recognising assumptions. Review whether this area reflects the responsibilities of your vacancy before retaining it.
How long does this Graduate Researcher assessment take?
The recommended selection contains 4 tests and allows 50 minutes across its timed tests. Adding or removing tests, or adjusting time allowances, can change the total.
Will I see a separate result for each test?
Yes. Review Critical Thinking, Inductive Reasoning, Verbal Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning separately so a strength in one area does not hide a gap in another. Use the detail to focus interviews and relevant work samples. View the sample report.
Can I try this assessment with real candidates for free?
