Logical reasoning tests (in the sense of employers' online assessments) usually consist of abstract, diagrammatic or inductive reasoning tests. Employers often use these tests as part of their online selection process.
Logical reasoning tests measures your Analytical ability to attend to detail, evaluate information, and make judgements or decisions. These tests are usually described as non verbal reasoning tests, since they do not present you with verbal or numerical information but instead with shape sequences and the logical patterns that they represent.
However, it's important to note that the term "logical reasoning" is also used to describe verbal logical reasoning tests, which assess the candidates' ability to read and understand complicated texts and, most importantly, to utilize critical thinking skills to draw conclusions and recognize important facts.
The Logical reasoning test can be somewhat challenging, especially if you have never taken such tests before. Our comprehensive PrepPack™ will help you familiarize yourself with the logical reasoning test format, its questions, as well as the appropriate responses in order to ace the test and surpass the other candidates.
Listed below are some of the most popular logical reasoning assessment tests used by employers today. Our Logical Reasoning PrepPack™ includes comprehensive preparation for other similar assessments and covers the most common logical reasoning topics found in the pre-employment tests' world.

Here are four examples of logical reasoning example questions. Choose the correct answer for each question:
1. Choose the image that completes the pattern.
Answer Explanation: Each square contains three shapes. The black circle is the only shape that constantly appears. It “travels” along the column, up and down, one step at a time. The other shapes appear in two consecutive squares and then do not appear in the next square. The shape that remains in the frame (in regards to the last step from the left) maintains its relative position to the other shape (not the circle).
2. If there are no dancers that aren’t slim and no singers that aren’t dancers, then which statements are always true?
Answer: The correct answer is B, "All singers are slim."
Answer Explanation: The tricky part here is that the question is phrased negatively. This means that you first need to identify the nature of each group, and then establish the relationship between the groups. If you draw a diagram (as in the example above), the relationship between the groups becomes clearer. The only true statement is that all singers are slim.
3. Dan is Joshua's son and Guy's brother. Margaret is Guy's mother and Judy's daughter. Which of the statements below is definitely true?
Answer: The correct answer is D, "None of the above."
Answer Explanation: Dan and Guy are siblings. However, you do not know if they are full siblings or half brothers. Margaret, who is Guy's mother, might not be Dan's mother, and Joshua, who is Dan's father, might not be Guy's father. Therefore, the answer is "None of the above."
4. The following is data supplied by the cabbage growers union report for 2007: 80% of cabbages collected were heavy (over 0.5 kg), 10% of cabbages were green, 60% were red, and 50% were big (having a diameter of over 10 cm). Which of the following statements must be false?
Answer: The correct answer is A, "All red cabbages weren't big."
Answer Explanation:
You must check the authenticity of each statement.
