What reasoning tests are, in short

A reasoning test is a timed aptitude test that measures how well you solve unfamiliar problems using numbers, words, shapes or mechanical diagrams, with one correct answer per question.

WHAT THE RESEARCH SAYS

How well do these tests predict a job?

CORRELATION WITH JOB PERFORMANCE · 0 = NONE, 1 = PERFECT
00.250.50.751.51 · 1998.31 · 2022
Schmidt and Hunter's 1998 meta-analysis put general mental ability among the best single predictors of job performance (.51). Sackett and colleagues' 2022 re-analysis, using different statistical corrections, puts it closer to .31: still useful, but smaller than once thought.
THE PRACTICE EFFECT
First try
+0.26 SDRetest
Across 107 samples, people scored about a quarter of a standard deviation higher simply by retaking the same type of test. Format familiarity is worth real points.
