About the Problem Solving test

The Problem Solving test is designed to assess a candidate’s ability to effectively tackle challenges across various scenarios using both analytical and creative thinking. The test evaluates how well candidates can break down complex problems, identify root causes, and apply appropriate solutions, combining both theoretical knowledge and practical problem-solving skills.

The test begins with logical reasoning, where candidates solve puzzles and situations that require deductive and inductive thinking to reach the correct solutions. This portion evaluates the candidate’s ability to approach problems methodically and develop solutions step by step.

Another significant aspect of the test focuses on decision-making. Candidates will demonstrate their ability to make sound choices in ambiguous or high-pressure environments, weighing options, anticipating outcomes, and justifying their decisions.

Creativity is also a key focus. Candidates are challenged to think outside the box, coming up with original solutions when conventional methods fall short. The test evaluates how well candidates can devise innovative approaches to overcome obstacles.

Troubleshooting is another critical component, where candidates identify issues in a process or system and propose effective resolutions. The test also measures how well candidates prioritize tasks, break down complex problems into manageable steps, and apply solutions with attention to detail.

Lastly, candidates will be evaluated on their ability to collaborate and solve problems within a team. As many work environments require collaboration, this section assesses how well candidates communicate and work with others to find and implement solutions.
