In the numerical reasoning assessment, you are being evaluated on your ability to use basic mathematical calculations to help you reach conclusions and decisions based on numerical information.
To test this, each question will be about some form of numerical data, presented in a table or graph. You will need to answer the question by using basic math abilities (such as operations like addition and subtraction, and principles like fractions, percentages, and decimals). The answers will be given as multiple-choice options.
Flex verbal reasoning test
Verbal reasoning assessments assess your ability to understand written information quickly and to make informed decisions.
In this assessment, you will be presented with a passage of writing, the passage will be followed by a statement or a question, and you need to answer it based on the information that you are given.
Flex situational judgment test
Situational judgment questions are used to determine the way you prefer to work, and how you deal with different problems.
These questions are based on realistic scenarios, and they present several different possible courses of action that could be taken to solve the issue that is in the scenario.
You’ll have to decide which would be the best course of action to take, and that will be the one that you would take if you were in that situation in the workplace.
In some tests, you will be asked to choose the best course of action, while others might ask you to select the best and worst course of action or rate them in order of effectiveness.
