Ability/Intellectual Capability Tests for Management or Leadership roles


Ability/capability tests measure an individual’s intellectual horsepower and are most commonly used in recruitment and selection. There are two types of ability tests – those which measure verbal reasoning and those which measure numerical reasoning.

Research has shown very strong links between the ability to make strategic decisions in business and the ability to deal with abstract concepts, logic and to reason verbally. In addition extensive research has also shown strong correlations between capability and management effectiveness.


If you would like to measure verbal reasoning and the individual will be taking the test unsupervised then Getfeedback recommends you use the below ability test.
