For most positions dealing with engineering and coding duties, the company employs 2024 updated G+ SHL tests to measure your abilities. This test has two versions: Mobile-Enabled Interactive and Standard Multiple-Choice.
Version | Interactive | Multiple-Choice |
No. of Questions | 24 | Varies (approx. 30) |
Time Limit | 36 minutes | 36 minutes |
Interactive* | Yes | No |
Adaptive** | Yes | No |
Question Types | Numerical - Tables and Graphs, Numerical Calculation, Number Ranges Inductive - Next in Series, Rules Combination, Alphanumeric Sequences Deductive - Scheduling (Schedule, Calendar), Ranking | Numerical - Tables and Graphs Inductive - Next in Series Deductive - Seating Arrangements |
* Interactive – you will be able to interact with the test (drag-and-drop, connect the dots, etc.)
** Adaptive - questions become harder when you answer right and easier when you answer wrong.
Both versions of the test are taken online via SHL's testing platform: Talent Central.
Once you have been selected to take an SHL test, you will receive a test invitation (or announcement).
The announcement will show the assessment details, including the assessment name, time limit, and things you will need for the test.
Once you have written down the name of the assessment/s and their time limit, go ahead and click the link in the email to start the assessment.
Don't worry, you will NOT need to take the assessment right away.
In the intro screen of the assessment, you will be able to see the assessment's name.
If the name contains the words "activity-based test", it is interactive. Otherwise, it is non-interactive.
Just before you start the test, you will be able to take several practice questions or a short sample test.
In the non-interactive test, you will be presented with some sample questions after the initial instructions
In the interactive test, you will be able to take an online practice before the actual assessment.
The PrepPack covers both versions of the SHL G+ test, so don't worry!
Either way, the test includes three topics:
This part of the assessment focuses on your ability to extract, calculate, and come to conclusions based on numerical data.
What proportion of both sites' April and May traffic was for Cuisine.net?
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong
Correct!
The correct answer is (E) - 38.1%
To calculate this, we add up the total page views of cuisine.net for April and May and divide this amount by the total hits of both sites for the same period.
Therefore, the calculation would be:
(35+45)/(35+45+70+60), which is 80/210 -> 38.1%
SHL Inductive questions revolve around finding the logical rules represented in shapes’ color, position, etc.
Which diagram would appear next in this series?
Correct!
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong
The correct answer is (A).
The inner shape in one frame becomes the middle shape in the next frame; the middle shape becomes the outer shape in the next frame; and the outer shape becomes the inner shape two frames later.
Thus, the outer shape in the missing frame should be a square (just like the middle shape in the 5th frame), the middle shape should be a triangle (like the inner shape in the 5th frame), and the inner shape should be a diamond (like the outer shape in the 4th frame).
In a restaurant's storage room there are seven kinds of fruits: Figs, Guavas, Honeydews, Kiwis, Mangos, Nectarines and Papayas. The restaurant's chef has to pick exactly four different kinds of fruits out of the seven to make a fruit salad. The selected fruits must meet the following conditions:
Papaya can be selected only if Kiwi is selected.
Fig can be selected only if Nectarine is selected.
Either Mango or Nectarine must be selected but not both.
Either Papaya or Honeydew must be selected but not both.
Which one of the following could be a complete and accurate list of the fruits from which the salad is made up?
Wrong
Correct!
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong
The Correct answer is (B) - Kiwi, Nectarine, Honeydew, Guava.
In questions asking for a possible complete arrangement according to the rules, go over the answer options and eliminate every response that violates any of the rules presented.
The correct answer is the one that does not violate any of the rules.
Answer (A) - According to the derivatives, Fig can only be selected if Nectarine is selected (~N → ~F). In addition, Mango and Nectarine cannot both be used (M or N). So, a salad containing Mango and Fig is impossible (M → ~F).
Answer (B) - This setting does not violate any of the rules, and therefore this is the correct answer.
Answer (C) - According to the rules, Mango and Nectarine cannot both be selected (M or N).
Answer (D) - According to the rules, Papaya and Honeydew cannot both be selected (P or H).
Answer (E) - According to the rules, Fig can only be selected if Nectarine is selected, so a salad containing Fig but not Nectarine is impossible (~N → ~F).
The Watson Glaser test is considered one of the trickiest and most challenging tests out there among psychometric testing experts. Developed by Pearson, The Watson Glaser test is divided into five sections:
You will be presented with a single statement of facts. then, you will be given an inference - a possible conclusion you might draw from the statement.
Your task is to examine the inference and decide how true or false it is on a scale of:
Note: Sometimes, in deciding whether an inference is probably true or false, you will have to use common knowledge or information.
Statement: James is a human rights activist who was fined £60 on three different days during the past month for smoking in public at his workplace. On each of the occasions, he admitted to the act peacefully, telling policemen that he is unwilling to conform with such a breach of his freedoms. James paid the three fines shortly after receiving them.
Inference: James has spent at least several hundred pounds in his struggle to oppose the violation of civil liberties this year.
Wrong
Correct!
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong
The correct answer is 'Probably True.'
You know that James had paid 180 pounds in the past month alone. You also know he is a human rights activist who is willing to spend money for his cause, based on his actions and testimony.
As such, even though it is not explicitly mentioned in the text, it is safe to assume that sometime in the year James had spent at least 20 more pounds on his activism, smoking-related or otherwise.
You will be presented with different statements. Then, you will be given an assumption. Your job is to decide whether the statement being made demands the assumption to be true.
Note: These assumptions do not have to concur with reality or reason – you are not judging their common sense, but plainly whether they are made or not.
Statement: Complaints were raised against the town's sole French teacher for using her monopoly to charge more than her late predecessor. However, she does not earn more money on each lesson than she would have before, because she lives out of town and her fee reflects higher transportation costs than those of her predecessor, who lived in town.
Proposed Assumption: Service providers who spend more on transportation are more expensive.
Wrong
Correct!
The assumption is not made.
The proposed assumption is a generalisation based on what happened in the town. The proposed assumption is a logical rule—it refers to all service providers in the world.
The author might think this is true, but he doesn't have to assume it in order for the passage to make sense. Therefore, it is not assumed.
You will have to read several passages, each followed by a suggested conclusion.
Your task is to determine whether the conclusion “follows” or “does not follow” the information presented in the text.
Statement: Some citizens pay taxes. Many citizens receive income support.
Conclusion: More citizens receive income support than citizens who pay taxes.
Wrong
Correct!
The conclusion does not follow.
Citizens = A, pay taxes = B, receive income support = C.
According to the premises, (A+B)some, and (A+C)many.
The conclusion states (A+C) > (A+B).
Some refer to a portion - a quantity between 1 to everything, while many others refer to multiplicity – at least 2 and up to everything.
However, you have no grounds to infer an accurate quantity of either statement; therefore, the conclusion does not necessarily follow.
In other words:
This one is tricky. Although there is a hierarchy between words that indicate a quantity, and “many” is more than “some”, that is only true when discussing the same group.
The Watson Glaser Test Interpretation section is similar to the Deduction section we just talked about.
You will be presented with a short paragraph, for which you have to assume that everything stated in it is true. Then, you will have to decide if a certain conclusion is followed beyond a reasonable doubt from the text, or not.
Note: While section 3 (Deduction) instructions ask us to decide whether a proposed conclusion “necessarily follows”, section 4 (Interpretation) offers a disjunction: The proposed conclusion can necessarily follow or probably follow (beyond a reasonable doubt).
Text: In the years 2011-12, 32% of pupils entitled to free school meals (an indicator of low socioeconomic status) achieved five GCSE passes at grade C or above. This is compared to 65% of pupils who were not entitled to free school meals.
Conclusion: Most of the pupils who were not entitled to a free school meal achieved five GCSE passes at grade C or above.
Correct!
Wrong
The conclusion follows.
The logic behind this answer is mathematical: the passage states that 65% of the pupils who were not entitled to a free school meal achieved five GCSE passes at a minimum of a C grade. Since 65% is greater than 50%, we can conclude that they are the majority.
Question: Should parents put their children in preparation courses for gifted tests, in order for them to reach their full potential?
Argument: Yes; parents are responsible for their children’s future and should do whatever they can to help them succeed in life.
Wrong
Correct!
The argument is weak.
This argument, although of great general importance, is not directly related to the question. The question specifically asked about preparation courses for gifted tests, and the arguments do not even mention them.
If, for example, the argument made the connection between preparation courses and success, the argument would have been strong. Since it does not, it is weak.
The Wonderlic Cognitive Ability test (formerly 'Wonderlic Personnel test') can be taken from a remote online location (such as at home). Dish Network uses the full version. with 50 questions and 12 minutes to complete them. The test questions focus on the cognitive aspects of the job, including problem-solving, learning, and adaptation skills.
The Wonderlic Test consists of the following four sections:
A large section of the Dish Network Wonderlic Test deals in math. Do not be alarmed- you will not need to do advanced calculations, but being able to think mathematically is required.
Choose the correct number to continue the series:
1 | 2 | 4 | 7 | 28 | ?
Wrong
Correct!
Wrong
Wrong
The answer is 33.
This series involves two arithmetic functions, addition and multiplication (+, x), which alternate and increase in intervals of 1: +1, x2, +3, x4. The final action was x4 therefore 5 should be added to the last number (28) = 28+5=33.
This part tests your mastery of the English language and is also a major component of the test. A large vocabulary and solid grasp of grammar are necessary to pass this part with a sufficient score.
Which word is the antonym of IMPERIOUS?
Wrong
Wrong
Correct!
Wrong
Wrong
Imperious means "domineering in a haughty manner; dictatorial; overbearing", so the antonym (opposite) is subservient. Arrogant is similar in meaning to imperious but is not its opposite. Quiet and stormy are not related.
This category has fewer questions than the previous two but is still important to score well on.
The question will present two sentences and a conclusion. You are asked to decide if the conclusion can be reached from the two statements.
1. All policemen carry firearms with their uniform
2. Roberto is not a policeman
Conclusion: Roberto does not carry a firearm with his uniform.
Wrong
Wrong
Correct!
The correct answer is 'uncertain'.
We know that all the policemen carry firearms, but we do
not know if uniformed individuals who are not policemen wear them as well- So the answer is not 'Yes'. On the other hand, maybe Roberto works as a security guard, and carries a firearm with his uniform- So the answer is not 'No.'
This type is similar in its weight to the logic section, but also must be prepared for. It includes questions regarding the calendar, common abbreviations, or (rarely) pattern recognition questions.
What month comes two months prior to November?
Wrong
Wrong
Wrong
Correct!
November is the 11th month, so the month two months prior to that is the 9th month- September.
Preparing for an interview can be difficult as companies devise new techniques and questions to knock you off your kilter. HR managers want to know how you are going to handle criticism in the moment by trying to use scare tactics (i.e. no smiles during the interview), using the stress interview (i.e. rapid-fire questioning) or by using the classic weakness question.
First understand that the interviewer is not out to get you, but to find the best candidate who can “take the heat”. Don’t be nervous -The Dish Network PrepPack™ also has a section for preparing and acing the interview, so you're covered!
But until you get it, here are some directions on what questions to prepare for:
