Verbal reasoning examples

In a verbal reasoning test, you are usually provided with a passage of information and required to evaluate a set of statements by selecting one of the following possible answers:

A – True (The statement follows logically from the information or opinions contained in the passage)

B – False (The statement is logically false from the information or opinions contained in the passage)

C – Cannot Say (Cannot determine whether the statement is true or false without further information)

In the example below, give your answer to each question by clicking on either A, B or C. You will be told whether your answer is correct or not.

“Many organisations find it beneficial to employ students over the summer. Permanent staff often wish to take their own holidays over this period. Furthermore, it is not uncommon for companies to experience peak workloads in the summer and so require extra staff. Summer employment also attracts students who may return as well qualified recruits to an organisation when they have completed their education. Ensuring that the students learn as much as possible about the organisation encourages interest in working on a permanent basis. Organisations pay students on a fixed rate without the usual entitlement to paid holidays or sick leave.”

Statement 1 - It is possible that permanent staff who are on holiday can have their work carried out by students.

A B C

Statement 2 – Students in summer employment are given the same paid holiday benefit as permanent staff.

A B C

Statement 3 – Students are subject to the organisation’s standard disciplinary and grievance procedures.

A B C

Statement 4 – Some companies have more work to do in the summer when students are available for vacation work.

A B C

Personality questionnaire examples

Personality questionnaires assess personal behavioural preferences, that is, how you like to work. They are not concerned with your abilities, but how you see yourself in the way you relate to others, your approach to problems and how you deal with feelings and emotions. With this type of assessment there are no right or wrong answers.

The questions which follow are examples of the type of question you may come across in personality questionnaires.

There are essentially two formats to personality questionnaires. In one format, you are asked to rate yourself. In the second, you are asked to choose between different statements, which look at different aspects of personality.

Rating Statements

You may be asked to rate yourself on a number of phrases or statements. After reading each statement you would mark your answer according to the following rules:

Select circle 1	If you strongly disagree with the statement
Select circle 2	If you disagree with the statement
Select circle 3	If you are unsure
Select circle 4	If you agree with the statement
Select circle 5	If you strongly agree with the statement

In the example below, the first statement has been completed: The person has agreed that 'I enjoy meeting new people' is an accurate description of him/herself. Try rating yourself on the other example questions. Remember there are no right or wrong answers.

Making Choices

This is the second format widely used with personality questionnaires. You are given a block of four statements: A, B, C and D. Your task is to choose one statement which is most like your behaviour in work situations and one statement which is least like your behaviour in the same situation. You should indicate your choices by clicking the appropriate button in the columns marked ‘M’ for Most and ‘L’ for least.

In the example below, the first statement has been completed: The person has indicated that they most like organising people and least like seeking variety. Try choosing which statements are most and least like you in the following example questions. Remember that there are no right and wrong answers.

I am the sort of person who.......
