Spatial Reasoning Tests

Spatial reasoning tests are also known as logical or abstract reasoning tests.

  • What are spatial reasoning tests?

    Spatial reasoning is all about testing your ability to think about objects in both two and three dimensions, and to mentally manipulate these images into new forms.

    You won’t have very long to answer each question, so being able to focus on the task at hand and mentally visualise the images you’re being asked about is a skill you’ll need to work on.

    Employers tend to set these tests for roles where being able to visualise how things are put together is important - so it’s a test very often used in the technology industry.

    It's often said that spatial awareness is something you’re naturally good at (or not!), but we know that people who practice spatial reasoning tests before the big day perform better.

  • Why do employers use spatial reasoning tests?

    The financial industry is highly competitive and attracts incredibly competent people. As a result it can be hard to differentiate between candidates using interviews alone.

    The spatial reasoning test offers employers a chance to assess how well applicants cope under considerable time pressure, and how adept they are at inductive reasoning.

    This particular type of test is very similar to the IQ test, and will show the natural born problem solvers in a pool of people who,on paper, probably have similar levels of experience.

  • What is the spatial reasoning test format?

    You’ll have to answer a series of questions related to different shapes and objects. The questions could vary from reconfiguring a shape into a different format, to finding its mirror image amongst a series of shapes that look similar.

    You won’t have long to answer each question, so it’s important to get to grips with the question format and kinds of things you’ll be asked before taking the test.

  • What skills does spatial reasoning test?

    The spatial reasoning test examines your spatial awareness. You won’t have much information to work from when you answer each question, so being able to look for patterns and sequences, to think outside the box and to successfully visualise shapes are all skills that will be under scrutiny.

    It may seem like a challenge, but it’s worth remembering that the employer is being responsible by ensuring you have the skills needed to do the tech role you’ve applied for.
