Spatial reasoning aptitude test
Context
Aptitude tests are one of the most common ways for employers to assess an applicant’s ability to carry out specific tasks. They are
also used to ascertain how potential employees react in certain situations, and their overall suitability for a role.
There are a number of different aptitude tests.
Employers use aptitude tests from a range of sources and may focus more heavily on certain tests, such as numerical or mechanical
reasoning.
Following the tests, employers will compare the results and use them to help decide which candidates to progress to the next stage
of the application process.
