What to expect from a logical reasoning test

A short guide to the test: what it is, who uses it, the formats, the kinds of question, the scoring and how to prepare.

What is a logical reasoning test?

A logical reasoning test checks how well you can find a rule and apply it. Each question is a set of shapes that follow a hidden rule, and you choose the figure that fits.

No words and no sums are involved, so it measures reasoning, not what you have learned. Our logical package also covers two close relatives, each with its own page: inductive reasoning tests and diagrammatic reasoning tests.

Which employers use logical reasoning tests?

They are set for jobs where problems arrive without instructions. SHL names sales, product development and research among the roles its test is used for, at every level.

Expect it soon after you apply: a link by email, and a few days to complete it. Our company pages list the hiring stages at each employer.

What formats do logical reasoning tests come in?

Publishers do not agree on a name: much the same test is sold as logical, inductive, abstract or diagrammatic reasoning. The lengths differ more: SHL asks 18 questions in 24 minutes and Cubiks 10 in 4.

Some tests adapt, giving you a harder question after each right answer, and some set a limit on every question. Our practice tests are fixed sets of five or ten questions, and the timer is yours to switch on or off.

  • SHL Verify Inductive

    Questions
    18 questions
    Time
    24 min

    Work out the pattern in a set of images and choose the next one. The test adapts to your answers.

  • Kenexa Logical

    Questions
    24 questions
    Time
    20 min

    A series of shapes with one missing. SHL has run the Kenexa tests since 2022, under the same name.

  • Talent Q Elements

    Questions
    12 questions
    Time
    About 15 min

    A time limit on each question, and no way back to it. A right answer brings a harder question.

  • Cubiks Logiks

    Questions
    10 questions
    Time
    4 min

    The abstract part of a 12-minute test that also has verbal and numerical parts. Cubiks is now Talogy.

These are the usual formats: an adaptive test may stop before its last question. Your invitation states the time allowed. SHL, Kenexa, Talent Q and Cubiks are trademarks of their owners, who are not connected with this site.

What types of question are in a logical reasoning test?

Three types cover most of them. A series asks which figure comes next, a grid asks which figure fills the empty square, and a pair of blocks asks which group a picture belongs to.

In each one, look for what stays the same and what changes: position, direction, number, shape or shade. The hardest questions change two of them at once.

Series
Which figure comes next?
An arrow makes a quarter turn each step while its bead changes colour. Work out both, and the next figure follows.
Grids
Which figure fills the gap?
Every row follows one rule: here the third figure is the first two put together. The last row gives the answer.
Blocks
Which block is it part of?
Each block has a rule of its own: every arrow in one points at the circle. Where a shape sits does not matter.

How are logical reasoning tests scored?

A fixed test counts your right answers. An adaptive one, such as SHL's, also takes into account how hard the questions you reached were.

Either way the result is a percentile: at the 80th, you did better than 80 in every 100 people who took the same test. Employers set their own pass marks, and our report shows your score, accuracy and percentile after every practice test.

How do you prepare for a logical reasoning test?

Begin without the timer, and explain each answer to yourself before you open the solution. Where your reason and ours differ, read ours twice.

Then switch the timer on. If you are stuck after a minute, choose your best answer and move on: the next question may take ten seconds.

    Revolut

    Revolut ops role had a logical test. Did the inductive and diagrammatic ones here for a week. Passed first go. Decent price too.

  • Ravi Chandran, Coventry

    Logical Tests

    Philips graduate programme. Inductive reasoning section is what I came for. Six inductive and six diagrammatic tests here, did each twice. Real test was the same flavour of pattern questions. Through to the next round.

    Logical

    Good inductive and diagrammatic practice. The diagrammatic operators are explained well. Site is English only, fine for me but my friend struggled a bit with the explanations.

    Logical pack

    The logical pack has three kinds, inductive, diagrammatic and logical reasoning. I did not know the difference before. Now I do, and I passed.

  • Sunita Rao, Leicester

    Logical Tests

    Inductive reasoning

    The inductive tests are good, the diagrammatic ones with the operators took me a while to get the hang of but that is the point I suppose. Would give 5 if there were a few more of the harder ones.

    Gut für Siemens

    Habe die logischen Tests für den Siemens Online Test genutzt. Die induktiven Aufgaben mit den Mustern waren fast identisch zum echten Test. Erklärungen sind auf Englisch, war für mich aber kein Problem. Klare Empfehlung.

No. A deductive test gives you arguments and scenarios in words and asks what follows from them. The tests on this page are about shapes, and you work the rule out yourself.
