Verbal Reasoning Tests

Verbal reasoning tests measure how well a person understands, interprets, and evaluates written information. Candidates are typically given a passage of text and asked to judge whether statements are true, false, or cannot be determined from what they have read. For candidates, this category offers guidance on how these tests are structured and how to prepare for them. For employers, it explains what verbal reasoning actually predicts about job performance and how to use the results fairly in selection and development.
