AXIS360 IQ Assessment

Composite cognitive ability index across Verbal, Numerical, Abstract and Logical reasoning

This assessment produces a composite IQ score (70-140, following the standard Wechsler deviation-IQ convention of mean 100, SD 15) across four CHC-aligned domains — Verbal, Numerical, Abstract and Logical reasoning — giving you both an overall cognitive ability index and a factor-level breakdown for roles where analytical horsepower is the deciding variable.

What

What's included

✓60 items across four sections: Verbal, Numerical, Abstract and Logical Reasoning
✓Composite IQ score on the standard 70-140 deviation-IQ scale (mean 100, SD 15)
✓Separate Verbal IQ and Numerical IQ sub-scores for factor-level diagnosis
✓Percentile rank and banded interpretation (e.g. Average, Above Average, Superior)
✓9-box-ready output mapping Verbal IQ and Numerical IQ as independent axes
Why

Why this matters

!
Graduate and management-trainee hiring decisions often rest on academic credentials that vary wildly in rigour across institutions, leaving employers with no consistent way to compare raw reasoning capacity across candidates. The Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) model — built on Cattell's (1963) fluid/crystallised distinction and Carroll's (1993) three-stratum synthesis — is the most empirically comprehensive taxonomy of cognitive abilities in psychology, giving this composite score a rigorous, well-validated theoretical foundation rather than an arbitrary blend of sub-tests.
Ideal For
Graduate hiring, management trainee programmes, and analytical role selection where a single, well-normed composite cognitive ability score is the primary decision input.

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

Is this the same as a clinical IQ test like the WAIS?
No — the WAIS is a clinical instrument administered one-on-one by a trained psychologist for diagnostic purposes, and using it for employment screening raises both licensing and appropriateness concerns. This assessment uses the same deviation-IQ scaling convention (mean 100, SD 15) but is purpose-built and validated for high-volume, self-administered hiring use.
What does the 70-140 scale mean?
It follows the standard deviation-IQ convention established in Wechsler's scales, where 100 represents the population mean and each 15-point interval represents one standard deviation — a score of 130, for example, sits at roughly the 98th percentile.
