What is abstract reasoning?
Abstract reasoning refers to your lateral thinking skills or fluid intelligence. This is the ability to ‘think on your feet’, to quickly identify patterns, perceive logical rules and trends in new data, accimilate information, and apply it to solving problems.
How do abstract reasoning tests work?
Abstract reasoning tests are designed to assess your ability to identify and interpret patterns, extract rules and structures. Questions will typically display a series of shapes, patterns or objects. You are required to select the correct answer from a set of possible options.
