What is the Deductive Reasoning Test?
Deductive reasoning is working out what must be true when the given statements are true, with no room for what is merely likely. The JobCannon Deductive Reasoning Test gives you 25 original questions on syllogisms, if-then rules, ordering puzzles and conclusions from a set of statements, each with four options and exactly one certain answer.

Each question sets out a few statements and asks you to accept them as true, even when they sound odd. You then pick the option that has to follow. The four question types are syllogisms (all, some and none), conditional reasoning (if-then rules, including what a failed condition does and does not tell you), ordering and ranking (who is first, last or in between) and conclusions from statements. Your percent correct places you in one of five bands, with a score for each type.
How is this different from the JobCannon Logical Reasoning Test? That one is the wider first read, mixing syllogisms, conditional logic and analytical puzzles. This test is narrower and stricter: every question asks only what must be true, so an answer that could be true but is not forced is always wrong, and there are no pattern puzzles. No question is shared between the two. There are no published norms, so your score is a practice reading, not an IQ score, not a percentile, and not a prediction of an employer's test.
