There are two Talent Q tests you may take. Let's go over each one of them.

Talent Q Tests: Elements Vs. Aspects

These two Talent Q test variations are nearly identical. Both have three sections and the first two, Numerical and Verbal, are the same in either version. (Although the difficulty levels may differ between them. These sections are harder in Elements than in Aspects).

The last section is what separates them. In Talent Q Elements, the third section is logical reasoning. And in the Talent Q Aspects, the third section is error checking.

The Elements tests are designed for graduate, professional, managerial and executive-level recruitment. The Aspects Tests are designed for volume recruitment for positions on the front line, customer service and in sales roles.

This PrepPack will help you prepare for your test, even if you don't know exactly which of the two tests you are going to take.

Talent Q Elements Test:

Here is a great video explains all you need to know about the Talent Q Elements Test:

Talent Q Elements Logical Reasoning - Sample Question: 

Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is alternative #2.

The pop-up: All the cells in the matrix contain three out of the four following symbols: ‘#’, ‘♥’, ‘○’ and ‘♫’. Only one of the alternatives fits this rule – #2.

The complete logic: The symbols form a sequence which “moves” one step to the right every time we go down from one cell to the cell below it (in a similar way, we can say that the sequence “moves” one step to the left every time we move from one cell to the cell to its right).

Applying this logic to the missing cell, we now know that the middle and right symbols should be ‘○’ and ‘♫’, accordingly, and the left symbol should be ‘♥’. Thus, the correct answer is #2.

Talent Q Aspects Test:

The Talent Q Aspects test is designed to test skills that you will need on the job: reading text, reading tables and charts, and paying attention to detail while under pressure (error checking).

These three skills can all be improved significantly with focused practice. Whether or not you did well in school, it’s essential to practice because the aspects tests are different from tests you took in school and time pressure is a major factor.

Talent Q Scoring

Your raw score in the Talent Q  tests is determined by all of your correct answers while taking the difficulty level of each question into account.  

Your final score then falls into one of 5 grades by comparing your score against other candidates in your comparison group:

E- Well below average D- Below average C- Average B- Above average A- Well above average 

This means that it is not enough to do well on the test, since you will need to surpass your competitors' scores as well.
