        "title": "What this test measures — and what it does not",
        "measures": "General cognitive aptitude across four domains, ramped from easy to hard within each: verbal reasoning (vocabulary, analogies, sentence logic), numerical reasoning (arithmetic, percentages, ratios, number patterns), logical/inductive reasoning (syllogisms, conditional logic, ordering and deduction puzzles), and abstract/diagrammatic reasoning (letter and number series, classification, coded rules, pattern completion).",
        "excludes": "This is not timed or proctored, and it does not produce a norm-referenced percentile against a validated reference population. It does not go as deep as our dedicated verbal-reasoning, numerical-reasoning, logical-reasoning or abstract-reasoning tests, each of which spends its full length on one domain — this battery trades depth for breadth, sampling all four at once. It does not measure job knowledge, personality, motivation or physical/spatial manipulation skill.",
        "standing": "Treat this as a self-assessment overview of your general reasoning strengths and weaknesses, not as a certified score for a specific employer's hiring process. It is not equivalent to, and makes no claim of statistical equivalence to, a licensed commercial instrument such as SHL Verify, Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test, or Wonderlic — those are validated, proctored, and normed against tracked populations in ways a self-serve web test is not."

          "desc": "You handled the straightforward items and lost ground where questions stack two steps on top of each other: a percentage that feeds into a ratio, a syllogism with a negative premise, a series that changes rule halfway. That pattern usually means the underlying reasoning is fine and the working method is not. No scratch paper, no habit of restating the question before answering, and the second step goes missing.",
          "recommendation": "Pick the single section that cost you the most and take the dedicated test for it: verbal, numerical, logical or abstract reasoning, where you get a full test in that one domain instead of seven questions. Work them with a pen and paper. Speed comes after accuracy, never before it."

This is where most working adults land, and it means your general reasoning is sound: you can read a report, sanity-check a number, follow an argument and spot an odd pattern. What separates this band from the next is not raw ability but consistency on the harder items, the ones where the first plausible answer is the wrong one.",
          "recommendation": "Look at your four section scores rather than the total. The lowest one is doing the most damage to your overall, and it is almost always the fastest to lift. Twenty minutes a day in that one domain moves the whole battery."

          "desc": "You are above the typical screening line in most sections and comfortable switching between word problems, numbers, logic and patterns without losing your footing. Switching cost is the quiet skill this battery measures, and you paid little of it. The misses that remain tend to be single-domain: a specific rule you do not yet reach for automatically, rather than a general gap.",
          "recommendation": "Your ceiling now sits in whichever section trails the others by the widest margin. Take that one dedicated test, note the exact question types you missed, and drill those rather than re-taking full batteries. Broad practice at this level mostly re-confirms what you already do well."

At this level you are not just solving problems, you are recognising which method a problem wants before you start, which is what makes timed employer tests survivable. Real graded screens add a clock and an invigilator, and both cost points, so treat this as a strong ceiling rather than a guaranteed floor.",
          "recommendation": "Practise under time pressure rather than at higher difficulty. Set a strict two-minute limit per question on the dedicated section tests and accept the accuracy drop. Closing the gap between your untimed and timed performance is the only work left that changes an employer outcome."

Scores this high usually come with an established working method: restating the question, ruling options out rather than hunting for the right one, and noticing when a series changes rule. That method transfers to any battery you sit, whatever the branding on it.",
          "recommendation": "There is little left to gain from more general aptitude practice. Aim at the specific format your target employer uses, since SHL, Criteria and Wonderlic differ in timing and question mix, and spend the effort on speed and on the sections that carry the most weight in their scoring."
