BASF Assessment Test Questions & Answers

Cognitive Aptitude Tests 

BASF often uses verbal, abstract, and mathematical reasoning questions to assess applicants’ cognitive abilities. 

The following abstract reasoning question is an example of the type of questions you'll likely run into: 

Which of the following boxes should replace the question mark (?) to complete the pattern?

A

B

C

D

E

Correct Answer

Incorrect Answer

The correct answer is A.

Every column contains two shapes. The left column contains a triangle and a circle, the middle column contains a circle and a square, and the right column contains a square and a triangle. Down the column, one shape increases in size while another shape decreases in size. Take a look at the right column. The triangle becomes progressively smaller as the square becomes progressively bigger. Therefore, the answer-option will have a small triangle inside a large square. Eliminate answer-option D, since it is missing a large square.

Additionally, in each row, each shape of the same size is of a different color. In the bottom row, there is a small, white circle and a small, black square. Therefore, the answer-option will contain a small, gray triangle. You can eliminate answer-options B and E. Furthermore, in the bottom row, there is a large, black triangle, and a large gray, circle. Therefore, the answer-option will contain a large, white square. Eliminate answer-option C and you are left with answer-option A as the correct answer.

The Bennett Mechanical Comprehension Test (BMCT)

is used to evaluate candidates who are interested in both technical and industrial positions. The exam measures candidates' cognitive understanding of mechanical principles, as well as their spatial perception and mechanical reasoning ability. This is an example of the type of BMCT questions you might be asked:

In which way is the wagon accelerating? (if either, mark C.)

A

B

C

Correct Answer

Incorrect Answer

The pendulum is moving backward; therefore, the car is accelerating in the opposite direction.

What happens when an object is in an accelerating system, in the same way, you feel pulled back when the car is speeding up or forwards when it is braking.

Remember the physical principle: When an object is within an accelerating system (another object that accelerates or decelerates), the inner object's force will be in the direction opposite to the acceleration.

Personality and Situational Judgment Tests
