Answer.
Technical reasoning.
Step-by-step explanation:
Logical reasoning tests (also known as critical reasoning tests) are designed to assess a candidate's ability at skills such as how to interpret patterns, number sequences or the relationships between shapes.
As such they have much in common with diagrammatic tests, as well as abstract reasoning tests and inductive reasoning tests. There are also verbal versions of logical tests, examples of which we'll cover in more detail below.
Logical reasoning tests assess a candidate's ability to use structured thinking to deduce from a short passage which of a number of statements is the most accurate response to a posed question. This involves the ability to isolate and identify the various components of any given argument.
Logical reasoning tests are frequently used during the application process at investment banks, accountancy & professional services firms and consulting firms, among others.
The tests are usually provided by an external supplier, such as SHL or Kenexa.
The Different Types of Logical Reasoning Test
The most common form of logical reasoning test you'll come across is the diagrammatic version, which we'll cover first. As some employers also like to use verbal logic tests, we cover how to tackle those, with example questions, in the second section.
