ABSTRACT REASONING

Abstract reasoning is the ability to solve logical problems,

foreseeing and planning is a thought that works by imagining or solving
problems in the mind like math without the need to write it down (without
the need to do it with something tangible, like a notebook). That is the essential part.

Psychotechnical tests of abstract reasoning assess the ability or

aptitude for solving logical problems, deducing certain consequences from the
proposed situation. That is, they try to discover the reasoning ability and
analysis, mental factors both closely linked to general intelligence. The
reasoning is one of the primary mental abilities, that is, one of the
components of general intelligence. Abstract reasoning, along with the
verbal reasoning, are the ingredients of cognitive skills.
In recent years, these abstract reasoning tests are becoming increasingly
more used, both in personnel selection and in school psychology.
Abstract reasoning tests are heavily saturated with 'g factor'. They belong
to the group of graphic series tests, whose items are arranged in such a way that
the reader must discover an internal law that relates to the graphic elements
(inductive phase) to then find the corresponding correlates (phase
deductive).
The abstract reasoning tests presented by Psychometric Tests
They rely on making substitutions of the given signs or letters for their numerical value.

Psychometric tests are measurements of our behavior, based on

objective terms, which have diagnostic and predictive value about a
broadens behavior from some partial elements. Therefore, through the
tests measure the individual's behavior. For the measurement to be
The objective must be to create a situation of uniformity of procedure both in the
application as in the scoring of the tests.

abstract reasoning evaluates how subjects can reason with figures or

geometric drawings. Appreciate the ability to continue a geometric series in
the one where each element changes according to a specific rule. The skill
demonstrated in this test is relevant to the areas of mathematics,
programación informática, diseño…

Abstract thinking is the ability to deduce, synthesize, interpret, analyze the

phenomena that affect us. A characteristic of highly abstract thinking
evolved is the ability to navigate, observing many details at once and
valuing a multitude of functions; processing many problems at once, defining priorities
and respond (correctly or not) to various tasks.

TYPES OF SELECTION TESTS:

In the process of selecting the best and most suitable candidates,

selectors often rely on Psychometric, Personality and/or tests
Projective, aimed at being able to measure the candidate in terms of
aspects of the candidate's personality, abilities, and knowledge.

This type of test allows the selector and the company to predict the
future performance of the candidate, in a specific position.
The tests that a candidate may go through during the selection process are
very varied, and it will depend on the type of company that carries out the process of
selection.

Below, we will list some tests mentioned above:

1.- PERSONALITY TEST:

1.1.- THE CLASSIC PERSONALITY TYPES:

Personality Tests have a value that gives an idea about character and the
personality traits.

The most well-known questionnaires are: The Guilford Temperament Inventory and
Zimmerman and the 16 PF of Cattell. However, they are getting better and better each time.
various tests that measure aspects of Personality.

SOME RECOMMENDATIONS:

Try to answer them as honestly as possible and without stopping to think.

response more than necessary.

Show yourself as you are and don't try to modify your own 'personality'.

Don't stop to reflect on the choice of the answer. In most of them

they introduce questions that aim to indirectly measure bias of
to give more socially desirable answers or to present oneself under a certain aspect
too favorable and not corresponding to your character traits.

Control the time taken to complete the Test, as normally the duration of
the time to complete these tests is usually limited.

It's not advisable for you to prepare for personality tests. To do so, you would need to be a
genuine expert in analysis and passing tests of this type. We do not recommend it.

Although it is interesting for you to become familiar with the type of questions being asked.
they carry out and the way to fill out the forms, so that when the
realize, do not make mistakes and stay as calm as possible.
EXAMPLE OF QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:

Does the weather have a lot of influence on my behavior?

a.-Truth
b.-More or less
c.- False

1.2.- PERSONALITY TESTS: PROJECTIVE

Projective techniques are those that allow for easy access to the psychic.
unconscious, because the subject, unaware of what aspect of their production
they are evaluating, he is unable to control it consciously.

This type of test is complex to deal with, and they are very different from one another.

On many occasions, its validity has been called into question.

WHAT ARE THEY FOR?

This type of test provides information regarding the way of operating mentally.
of the subject, aspects such as personality, emotion, thoughts, perception
of the subject, intelligence, etc.

SOME EXAMPLES OF PROJECTIVES:

There are many types of projective tests: Coch test or tree test, test of the
colors or Lüscher, the drawing test, the Rorschach test, Zulliger test, Test of
Object Relations (TRO), etc.

1.2.1.- THE RORSCHACH TEST

Projective test, for individual application, that allows for assessment of

personality.

The Rorschach Test, also known as 'the inkblot test',

It consists of presenting the candidate with ten standardized white sheets, in a
immutable order, with an almost symmetrical stain in the middle, some printed on
black ink, others in black and red, and others in color.
The candidate receives specific instructions: "tell me what you see" or "what could
represent the following figure.

The answers will be evaluated using a very complex grading system.

that is poured into a data sheet designed for it.

What is it for, or when is it used?

The Rorschach Test provides a database of more than eight thousand protocols. These provide
information regarding the subject's mental operating mode, lability
emotional, the distortion in the perception of reality, the use of intelligence or
emotion in problem solving, etc.

SOME EVALUATION CRITERIA:

The interviewer will take into account the following criteria:

The time the subject takes to respond after each presentation of

the sheet (or time of assimilation).

The total time for the test pass.

The candidate's response: details, evaluations, shape, color, and movement.

interpretation.

The emotional content and behavioral reactions of the interpretation of

the stain.

The extent to which the candidate facilitates the response or refuses to do so.

1.2.2.- LÜSCHER COLOR TEST:

This type of test is complex to handle, and very different from one another even though it is not.
it is so much to interpret.

The subject is asked to choose from 8 cards of clearly defined different colors.
the placement of those colors according to their preferences.

WHAT ARE THEY FOR, OR WHEN ARE THEY USED?

Based on the colors and the order of placement, companies can know
both the personality of the candidate and their interests, desires, and
needs in order to predict future behaviors.

SOME EVALUATION CRITERIA:

The evaluation of the candidate's responses will be based on the order and
preferences in which the individual has presented the color pairs. The time
The estimate for interpreting the same to know the candidate is
approximately two hours.

The first pair of colors would indicate the subject's personality.

The second and third pair, the Desires and the Trends.

The last pair could indicate more subjective aspects of the candidate.

1.2.3.- ZULLIGER TEST:

Projective Test, for individual and collective application.

Permite evaluación de personalidad, considerando orientación al trabajo, área

emotional and interpersonal relationships.

1.2.4.-OBJECT RELATIONS TEST (ORT)

Projective Test, for individual application. It allows an analysis of the dynamic of

internalized object relation, considering relationships with oneself, dyadic
(between two), triadic (between three) and group.

1.2.5.- GRAPHIC TESTS:

A graphological analysis allows for valuable information to be obtained about the

fitness and personality conditions regarding a job position, in addition to
make an assessment of the psychological and organic health status.

Thus, there are already many professionals who rely on specialists in

graphology for conducting expert studies, personnel selection tests or
other types of studies.
SOME EVALUATION CRITERIA:

The selectors will focus on certain fundamental aspects that

they are analyzed in the writing, among which are:

1- The order of the text, margins, and distances: This aspect would allow for the evaluation of
degree of mental clarity, internal order, organizational and planning capacity
of a subject, as well as the resistance to change.

2- The size of the writing: this aspect would relate to the level of
self-esteem, and the degree of expansion of the subject.

3- The slant of the letters and paragraphs: this would allow us to see to what extent the
a person relates to others, their degree of emotional openness.

4- The direction that the lines follow: this would be linked to the different states
of mood, the degree of stability, optimism, fatigue or depression that it can
to experiment on an individual.

5- The writing pressure: its analysis would allow us to assess the energy level of
a person and their degree of health or illness.

6- The speed: it gives us an account of the degree of speed or slowness in reactions.

an individual facing the different situations presented to him

7- Continuity: it relates to the degree of connection or separation of the letters.

in the words. they allow us to understand the degree of consistency and regularity
of an individual in their activity, emotional life, and thoughts.

8- The general form or structure of the writing: it informs us about behavior

cultural, ethical, moral.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GRAPHIC TESTS:

Although the best recommendation of all is to show yourself as you are, to

The following will detail some tips that can help to the
make your handwriting assessment more positive:
Make sure the lines are straight.

Try to be free of worries on the day you write, or in a state

the most positive mood, for that sleep well.

Write, if you can, with a blue-black fountain pen, instead of

pen. This will prevent them from studying the type of pressure on the paper when
write.

Leave wide and regular margins.

Write in large and clear letters.

The lettering should appear neat, but without over-decorating it.

The signature should be the one you normally use, trying not to press too hard.
about the paper.

Avoid delivering the document, letter with crossed out parts.

1.2.6.- GROUP DYNAMICS

This technique is based on the analysis of certain competencies and skills

through the meeting of a group of people debating a specific topic.
This technique is one of the most used in selection tests.
Personal (Link with Tec OPEA)

When conducting selection dynamics, the recruiter usually forms groups.

from 4 to 6 candidates and offers a topic on which the group has to, in a
limited time, reaching a final agreement. Each candidate can have a role
assigned to the group work or not.

EVALUATION CRITERIA:

In the same room, there will be two or three people from the company who will take notes on what
they will analyze the behavior of each group member and will ask you
that you present your agreed solution.

These people will usually be more interested in how they interact.

GROUP DYNAMICS EXERCISES:

They could consist of deciding whom the company should hire to fill a
vacant, for which they can give you several CVs, one of which could be the one
of some candidate present.

A problem or case that they have to solve could also be presented to the group.
for example, a case that raises a decision to fire an employee, that

2.1.- INTELLIGENCE TEST:

Intelligence, according to the definition of the dictionary of the Royal Academy of

language can be understood as the ability to understand, comprehend, and solve
problems.

An example of the multiple intelligence tests that exist is the coefficient of

intelligence of the W.A.I.S.

When measuring intelligence quotient, this scale measures through three types
of coefficients: verbal, results, and general. These three types of coefficients,
are evaluated with 11 tests intended for this purpose, among which are
they find the following:

General information test

Verbal comprehension test
Digit span test
Arithmetic test
Similarity Test
Vocabulary test
Cube test
Code test
Object assembly test
Image classification test
 Image add-ons test

2.2.- VERBAL REASONING TEST

It allows measuring an individual's ability to express themselves or reason using

its language ability.

What are they used for, or when are they used?

It is usually used when one wants to evaluate all those candidates who
they have to make great verbal use in their profession, either to persuade, as
it would be in sales professionals or to assist the public, deal with
work teams, leading teams, etc.

Generally, the categories of questions that they usually ask are

candidates, are usually tests about:

Synonyms
Antonyms
Excess word
Number series
Small problems
Explanation
- Preguntas y Proverbios.

Riddles, etc.

2.3.- NON-VERBAL REASONING TEST

They are tests that have been created with figures or symbols to measure intelligence.
general or abstract reasoning. They consist of finding the law that allows
complete the logical series.

Generally, the questions are classified by order and increasing difficulty.

What are they used for, or when are they used?

Its function is to measure the ability to reason about logical problems.
among those who stand out are those who use geometric shapes and the
logical progression of certain figures.

Of all of them, the d48 test or domino test is the most used, however,
Despite its name, it does not make any reference to the game of dominoes at all.

EXAMPLE OF NON-VERBAL REASONING ITEMS:

[pic][pic]

Response of the Example: 0/0

The upper halves constitute a series of numbers that increase in one

unit: 1-2-3.

On the other hand, the lower halves form a series of even numbers that go
in decreasing order of two units: 6-4-2.

SOME RECOMMENDATIONS:

Don't stay stuck for too long; if you don't know an answer because you've hit a wall,
jump to it and come back to it later.

Buy yourself a book on Psychotechnical tests and practice. The more times you do it,
your later executions will be better, both in accuracy and in time
execution.

Control your execution time. This type of tests are limited to

determined durations.

Don't get discouraged, if you don't make it to the end, this type of test is designed for
that almost nobody reaches the end.
2.4.- TEST OF REASONING AND SPATIAL STRUCTURING

Spatial reasoning is the ability to correctly perceive space.

and act effectively.

What are they for, or when are they used?

Measuring spatial structuring ability allows the selector to appreciate

to what extent is a candidate able to reason clearly without the need for
offer successive instructions.

The objective of the test is to appreciate the way in which thinking is organized.
in front of a task that requires a good representation and spatial structuring.

It is used to navigate using maps and plans, to express oneself through drawing and
build different structures in three dimensions like buildings, sculptures or
parts. Sailors, engineers, surgeons, sculptors, and painters should have
this ability is very developed.

2.5.- MEMORY TEST:

The observation of memory allows for the appreciation of a certain way of functioning.
of thought: reasoned, organized, or on the contrary, without order or structure.
Memory is directly related to attention.

Memory can be evaluated from different points of reference:

The concentration

The observation

Understanding

Accuracy of work

Working method
This skill is frequently explored and sought after for positions that require
a great surveillance and security responsibilities, or in certain types of
professions that require responsibility and precision.

EXAMPLE OF MEMORY TEST ITEMS:

Cross out the numbers 4 and 2 as quickly as possible.

4 5 2 8 10

145695

678343

321413

2.6.- MOTOR SKILLS TEST

Motor skills, dexterity, and ability are forms of aptitude, as they allow for a
professional success in all those jobs that consist of carrying out tasks
manuals.
These three factors are not as evident to measure as one might think.

What are they used for, or when are they used?

The goal is to appreciate manual dexterity.

It is frequently used to predict the professional success of learners,

mechanics or any type of industry that involves manipulative tasks.

2.7.- PSYCHOMOTOR REACTION TEST:

Its main objective is to be able to measure the level of attention of the

individuals. This can be achieved through simple motor reactions

EXAMPLE OF ITEMS FOR PSYCHOMOTOR REACTION TESTS:

On a screen, the candidate must view about 50 lines that

they reproduce the letters of the alphabet. When the candidate recognizes an S or a Z,
you must press a button. A counter connected to the latter records the responses
good and bad.

2.8.- SENSORY ABILITY TEST:

It is a test to measure vision and hearing or any other type of sense.

They do not directly enter classical selection situations.

What are they for, or when are they used?

This type of test is used for the selection of candidates for very
specific, for which a deficiency, both visual and auditory, can
put the safety of people at risk.

2.9.- CREATIVITY TEST:

There are several definitions of creativity: 'Creativity is a process that is

develops over time and is characterized by originality, by adaptability
and by its possibilities for concrete realization." "Creativity is the ability to
to produce new and valuable things.

Creativity today finds its applications in the most diverse fields. It is

used both in improvement techniques and in methods of
research to arrive at solutions or discoveries, or in multiples
professions.

What are they for, or when are they used?

This test is designed to measure divergent thinking.

It is characterized by questions that evaluate the individual through the

categorization of words belonging to a certain class.
In this type of tests, a series of factors are measured:

Fluency: verbal, of ideas, of association, of expression

Spontaneous flexibility

Originality

Sensitivity to problems.

1. Solution: We can observe that the sequence is formed with the multiples of 3,
then it can be generated by the rule:

Sn = for n = 1, 2, 3...

45=3n, then n=45/3=15

The position of 45 is 15 and, therefore, there are 14 numbers before it, so the
the answer is option b).
2. Solution: The average points in the three matches is calculated directly.
What is the sum of the points divided by the number of matches.
x=(15+24+18)/3=19 Thus, the correct answer is option d).
