Let's go over the different test categories:
Sounds like a lot? The Honeywell PrepPack has guides and practice tests for any test you might need to take during the assessment process - no need to worry!
Honeywell SHL G+ Test
For some positions (such as VP, Senior Director, Finance Director, and Tax Accountant), the company employs SHL's G+ General Ability test to measure candidate potential. 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.
All SHL Tests are taken online, typically via the Talent Central testing platform. You should receive a link to the assessment via email from your recruiters.
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.
Note: After this stage is the point of no return! You will be able to go back from the sample questions/practice, but if you click the "Take the Assessment" button, you will not be able to go back anymore.
As mentioned, Our PrepPack covers both versions of the test - either way, you're covered!
Both test versions include these three topics:
1. Numerical Reasoning (8-10 questions)
This part of the assessment focuses on your ability to extract, calculate, and come to conclusions based on numerical data.
Honeywell G+ Numerical Sample question
What proportion of both sites' April and May traffic was for Cuisine.net?
2. Inductive Reasoning (8-10 questions)
SHL Inductive questions revolve around finding the logical rules represented in shapes’ color, position, etc.
Honeywell G+ Inductive Sample question
Which diagram would appear next in the series?
3. Deductive Reasoning (8-10 questions)
The SHL Deductive questions examine your ability to draw logical conclusions out of given information. This will usually be measured by scheduling tasks or ranking items based on constraints.
Honeywell G+ Deductive Sample question
In a restaurant's storage room there are seven kinds of fruits: Figs, Guavas, Honeydews, Kiwis, Mangos, Nectarines and Papayas. The restaurant's chef must 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?
Honeywell OPQ32 Personality Test
As part of the SHL test, you may also be subjected to a personality test based on the job you are applying for.
Questions in the section are deceptively simple and open-ended- you will be to choose which of three sentences describes you the most and least accurately.
You could be prompted to choose from 3 options such as:
-I tend to share my expertise with others
-I take full responsibility for my mistakes
-I am always looking for ways to improve myself
None of these statements are negative descriptors. It would seem that there is no wrong answer, right?
Not exactly. Honeywell, like all prestigious companies, looks for specific characteristics in candidates for certain jobs. A candidate for a managerial position with impressive leadership skills is more suited than one who excels at working on his own, for example.
Consistency is also an important factor, and so is decisiveness- even though the test is untimed, if you take too much time thinking about a question, you may be penalized since test checkers want your natural, automatic response.

But fear not; the PrepPack for Honeywell assessment includes a full section on personality tests to help you understand how they work and how to pass them successfully, including specific practice for single personality traits and how to convey them during the test!
DDI Leadership SJT Test
This section is most relevant to managerial/team lead positions.
Situational judgment tests (SJTs) are a popular psychological tool used by many assessment companies, employers, and organizations to evaluate applicants' behavioral and cognitive abilities when faced with daily work-related situations and conflicts.
These tests can be tricky and challenging as the right or wrong answer for each question is not always clear. That is why preparation for these tests is crucial. The Honeywell Preparation Pack comes together with a full DDI SJT pack that will help you get familiar with the most common question types, teach you how to answer them correctly and ensure you pass the test with great success.
