Basic, such as clerical, or jobs with occasional requirements for this ability, but mostly at a simple or basic level.

Intermediate, such as supervisory or junior management jobs which require more frequent or complex use of this ability.

Higher, such as professional, middle and senior management, or specialist types of work which require frequent use of this ability in high-level problem solving situations.

Frequency of use: Whether the test is in common use or is used less often. We have focussed on those types of tests that are in common use.

Remember that this information is only a guide. The actual tests you may face are likely to vary in how closely they match those given in this book.

At the end of each test, or each set of similar tests, you will find hints and tips that provide suggestions for how to prepare for and approach that particular type of test.

In Chapter 8, there is more detailed information on exactly what to do to prepare yourself for the testing session and what happens afterwards.

The answers to all of the tests, plus an explanation where appropriate, are in Appendix I at the end of this book.

Finally, in Chapter 7 we go through an example of a Personality Test. Full scoring instructions are given with the test, but remember – with personality tests there are no right or wrong answers. Only you will know what is right!
