Talogy Assessment Tests Guide (2026)

A Talogy assessment is a scientifically developed evaluation used by employers to measure how well a candidate's abilities, behaviors, and motivations align with a specific role.

Built on decades of industrial and organizational psychology research, Talogy tests are structured to provide objective, data-driven insights into cognitive ability (including numerical, verbal, and logical reasoning), personality traits and motivation, workplace behaviors and decision-making, and, in some cases, technical or job-specific skills. 

While there are dozens of Talogy assessments, most US tests typically fall into three main categories:

• Talogy Caliper assessments measure personality traits and motivation to predict workplace behavior
• Talogy Cubiks assessments combine cognitive ability testing (such as numerical, verbal, and logical reasoning) with personality profiling to assess both aptitude and fit
• Talogy PSI assessments focus on cognitive and technical skills, often under time constraints, to gauge problem-solving and job-specific abilities

Most Talogy tests are adaptive, role-specific, and benchmarked against job success models. Employers usually use structured scoring systems, sometimes referred to internally as assessment models or delta comparisons, to compare profiles against high-performing employees in similar roles. 

Because results are benchmark-based rather than pass/fail, preparation is less about memorizing answers and more about understanding format, improving reasoning speed, and maintaining consistency in personality-based sections. 

Let's take a look at the three main categories of US-based Talogy assessments.

The Caliper Profile is one of Talogy's most widely used personality-based hiring tools in the US, particularly for leadership, management, and sales roles.

Unlike traditional timed aptitude tests, Caliper focuses on behavioral tendencies and motivation. Employers use it to evaluate how candidates approach decision-making, handle pressure, communicate with others, and sustain performance over time. 

The assessment includes a mix of multiple-choice statements and "most like me / least like me" comparisons. There are no right or wrong answers. Instead, the test analyzes patterns and consistency across responses. 

One of Caliper's distinguishing features is its Job Match system, which compares your results against performance benchmarks developed for specific roles. This means your profile is evaluated based on what predicts success for that job, and not against other applicants directly. 

Preparation for the Talogy Caliper assessment should focus on understanding the competencies required for your target role and ensuring your responses are thoughtful and consistent. Knowing how the test works helps you answer honestly and feel more relaxed when you take the actual assessment.

Many candidates still encounter assessments branded as Cubiks, but following 2019 - 2022 company mergers and acquisitions, these tools have now been fully integrated under Talogy.

They remain widely used across corporate hiring programs and graduate recruitment since they combine personality insights with different types of ability tests in a flexible way.

Cubiks assessments often combine several components:

• P.A.P.I. (Personality and Preference Inventory): Personality questionnaires like PAPI focus on your work style and how you communicate, approach teamwork, and make decisions. There are no right or wrong answers, but self-awareness can really help with honesty and consistency.
• Logiks cognitive ability tests: These aptitude tests (divided into Logiks General Intermediate and Logiks General Advanced) are usually timed and challenging. They cover numerical reasoning (interpreting graphs, charts, percentages, and data sets), verbal reasoning (understanding written information and drawing logical conclusions), and logical/abstract reasoning (finding patterns or sequences in shapes and symbols). Practising these question types ahead of time is very helpful. 
• Situational Judgment Tests (SJTs): The Cubiks Dilemmas SJT measures workplace decision-making by presenting you with workplace scenarios and asking you to choose the most effective response. Doing well on SJTs means understanding which skills or behaviors the employer may value, like collaboration, leadership, and analytical thinking. 

Success on Cubiks-based Talogy assessments comes from balancing self-awareness with structured practice. We offer individual PrepPacks across the Cubiks portfolio, as well as an all-inclusive preparation package that covers the full Cubiks assessments.

PSI services play a major role in the Talogy testing ecosystem, particularly in the US. PSI tests tend to be the most ability-focused and technically demanding of the three Talogy assessments we're highlighting. 

These are commonly used in industries where precision, compliance, and technical accuracy are critical, including healthcare, aviation, engineering, law enforcement, and public safety.

The most common Talogy PSI assessments include:

• Cognitive ability tests (verbal, numerical, and deductive reasoning)
• Mechanical and technical reasoning tests (interpreting diagrams, understanding mechanical principles, and solving physics-style questions)
• Job knowledge assessments or situational judgment tests (choosing the best response in realistic workplace scenarios)
• Proctored online exams (tightly controlled, sometimes used for high-stakes professional certifications)

Unlike personality-based tools, PSI assessments are typically timed and objectively scored, and your performance will depend on both accuracy and speed. Because PSI assessments are used for roles where safety and precision matter, they're designed to be highly reliable and difficult to fake.

For test-takers, preparation is both essential and straightforward. Since the exams follow a structured format, practicing sample questions under timed conditions, building familiarity with the style, and working on solving problems quickly under pressure can meaningfully improve results.

Beyond Caliper, Cubiks, and PSI, Talogy LLC offers a wide portfolio of additional assessments used in hiring, leadership development, and internal talent programs. These tools are often tailored to specific industries, seniority levels, or organizational levels. 

Other notable Talogy assessments and solutions in the US include:

• Talogy I-Grade (cognitive ability testing commonly used in large-scale recruitment)
• Talogy Spotlight (behavioral and competency-based assessment tools)
• Talogy InView Leadership (focused on leadership capability and decision-making)
• Talogy 360 (multi-rater feedback for leadership development)
• Safety DNA (evaluates safety-related behaviors and risk awareness)
• MindGage (gamified cognitive ability testing)
• Capture (assessment center simulations and exercises)
• CBI Smart (competency-based interview tools)
• Talogy Perceptions (employee engagement and perception measurement)
• eip3 (emotional intelligence assessment)
• Resilience (adaptability and stress tolerance)
• 16pf (a well-established personality assessment framework)
• Factors (a shorter personality questionnaire derived from PAPI methodology)
• Virtual AC (virtual assessment center simulations)
• LCI: Leadership Competency Inventory (leadership-focused behavioral profiling)
• Hire (structured hiring and selection tools)

While these tools may be less common in early-stage hiring, they frequently appear in promotion processes, assessment centers, and structured development programs, and focus on skills such as emotional intelligence, leadership potential, and workplace resilience traits. 

Preparation becomes much more effective once you know which type of Talogy assessment you're taking.

To prepare effectively:

• Identify the exact test type (Caliper, Cubiks, PSI, or another Talogy assessment)
• Practice reasoning questions under timed conditions if your test includes ability components
• Review the competencies required for your target role
• Strengthen weaker reasoning areas such as numerical data interpretation or abstract logic
• Simulate realistic test conditions to build confidence and focus

Structured preparation helps reduce anxiety, improve speed, and ensure you perform at your true ability level.

Our Talogy practice tests are developed by assessment experts and designed to mirror real Talogy test formats and conditions. That means you’ll practice the same types of questions, under similar time constraints, so there are no surprises on test day.
