Measures basic numeracy, with an emphasis on understanding numerical relationships and operations as well as the ability to perform basic calculations. The proficient application of the four basic rules of arithmetic is essential. The use of calculators is not allowed.

Measures the ability to understand written passages containing the type of material likely to be found in a typical technical setting, such as machine manuals and operating instructions. Relevant up to good GCSE level.

Measures vocabulary and basic verbal skills using language which reflects the requirements of technical occupations. Tasks include sentence completion, analogies, finding synonyms, and finding acronyms.

Measures the understanding of basic mechanical principles and their applications to a number of devices, including pulleys, gears and levers. A core skill relevant in many technical jobs. The problems are presented to the candidates as three-dimensional drawings, hence the test measures knowledge of physics to a lesser degree than similar tests.

Assesses the ability to identify faults in logical systems. No specialised knowledge is required. The test requires an individual to locate which element in an arrangement of coded symbols is not working as specified. FT7.1. is recommended for both technicians and engineers.

Measures spatial perception and the ability to make accurate visual comparisons. It is particularly suitable for craft and operator level jobs involving basic design and assembly work.

Tests of this battery measure abilities necessary for engineers and technicians.

Assesses the ability to follow a sequence of interdependent symbols arranged in a logical order. This ability to apply checks and follow sequences is likely to be relevant in tracking process control systems, debugging software and in systems design.

Assesses the understandig of basic mechanical principles and their application to such devices as pulleys and gears and simple structures.

Measures the ability to estimate quickly the answers to numerical calculations. Knowledge of fractions and percentages is required as well as that of basic arithmetic. The task is to select the best estimate from a number of options. Calculators are not allowed in this test.
