Diagrammatic Reasoning

Abstract logical sequences in diagram form, ideal for technical and engineering roles

This assessment presents sequences of logical diagrams — flowcharts, process maps, and symbol transformations — measuring the ability to infer and apply underlying rules. It's particularly well-suited to technical, engineering and IT roles where process-logic reasoning is closer to the actual job than either verbal or numerical reasoning alone.

What

What's included

✓20 diagram-based items measuring rule inference and logical sequence completion
✓Distinct from abstract reasoning — focuses specifically on process and flow logic
✓Strong fit for engineering, IT, technical operations and systems-analysis roles
✓Culture-fair, non-verbal format reduces language and educational-background bias
✓Combinable with the full Cognitive Ability Battery for broader technical hiring
Why

Why this matters

!
Diagrammatic reasoning isolates logical rule-following ability from both verbal and numerical confounds using flowchart-like diagram sequences — a specific format that maps closely onto process-logic skills required in engineering, IT and technical operations roles, where the ability to trace conditional logic through a system is a core job requirement.
Ideal For
Engineering, IT, technical operations, and systems-analysis roles where tracing conditional logic through a process is closer to the actual job than verbal or numerical reasoning.

Using results responsibly. Assessment results describe tendencies and preferences at the time of testing; they are one input to a decision, not a verdict. Use them alongside a structured interview, work samples and references, tell candidates how their results will be used, and avoid treating any single score as a pass or fail line unless it has been validated for that purpose in your own setting.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from Abstract Reasoning?
Abstract reasoning uses static shape-pattern sequences testing general fluid intelligence; diagrammatic reasoning uses flowchart-like, rule-based diagram sequences that map more directly onto process-logic and systems-thinking skills specific to technical roles.
Do candidates need a technical background to do well?
No prior technical training is required — the format tests logical rule-inference ability directly, though candidates with process-oriented or engineering backgrounds sometimes find the format more intuitive.
