General Interactive Ability Test (Interactive G+)
The Verify Interactive G+ is a test of general cognitive ability that also generates accurate assessments of three specific abilities:
General Ability Test (Next Generation G+)
The Verify Next Generation G+ is a test of general cognitive ability. The test is designed to measure three types of ability:
Automated Spoken English Evaluation (SVAR)
Automated spoken English test that measures fluency, pronunciation, active listening, vocabulary, grammar and spoken English understanding.
IT (Information Technology) tests
SHL has a really wide variety of tests, more than 200 tools. We can also measure popular programming languages like JAVA, C languages, PHP, HTML, or Phyton and basic computer skills like using Microsoft Office programs. Our catalogue below contains every avalaible SHL IT tests.
Verbal Reasoning Test (VIT1)
Measures the ability to evaluate the logic of written information. The test samples a range of computer relevant material such as user manuals, technical manuals, computer text books and computer press articles. The task of the candidate is to decide for a list of statements if they are true or false in the light of the information contained in the passage. The test is not knowledge based but designed to measure whether the candidate has the ability to understand and interpret written material.
Computer Checking Test (CIT3)
This is a test of speed and accuracy in the checking of character strings made up of letters, numbers and symbols. These are important basic skills in any area of programming and especially important for computer data entry staff.
Syntax Checking Test (CIT4)
Similarly to CIT3, this test also measures speed and accuracy in the checking of strings of letters and numbers, but in this case the candidate has to decide whether a line from a computer programme complies with a set of rules. A highly relevant test for any jobs that include any form of coding, programming or software checking.
Diagramming Test (DIT5)
This test primarily requires logical reasoning. To solve the test candidates must follow a set of instructions to manipulate a series of figures. This test simulates the ability to handle multiple and interdependent commands, an important ability in most IT jobs.
Diagrammatic Reasoning Test (DIT6)
In this test candidates have to infer a set of rules from a flow-chart and apply these rules to new situations. This test is a high level measure of symbolic reasoning ability and is especially relevant in jobs that require the capacity to work through complex problems in a systematic and analytical manner, for example, in systems analysis and programme design.
Spatial Reasoning Test (SIT7)
Measures a candidate’s ability to visualize spatial relationships. Specifically, it measures the ability to visualize and manipulate shapes in three dimensions given a twodimensional drawing. The test discriminates at a high level and measures spatial ability relevant for engineers, designers, draughts people and IT staff working with graphics.
Mechanical Comprehension (MTS3)
Assesses the understandig of basic mechanical principles and their application to such devices as pulleys and gears and simple structures.
Fault Finding Test (FTS4)
Assesses the ability to identify faults in logical systems. The test requires the candidate to locate what element in an arrangement of colour coded symbols is not functioning. No specialist knowledge, but visual and reasoning ability are required. The test is appropriate in many applications including operating machinery, when quick fault finding is necessary.
Spatial Checking Test (STS5)
Measures the ability to locate differences between complex designs rotated and reversed in two or three dimensions. This ability is likely to feature in the checking and design of electronic systems, engineering components and in some applications of computer-aided design (e.g. CAD).
Diagrammic Thinking (DTS6)
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.
Visual Estimation (ET3.1)
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.
Mechanical Comprehension Test (MT4.1)
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.
Mechanical Comprehension Test (MT4.2)
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.
This test is another parallel version of the Mechanical Comprehension Test (MT4.1) of equal difficulty.
Technical Understanding (VT5.1)
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.
