Description

Inductive Reasoning Tests often form part of a job selection process. From administrators to managers, inductive reasoning can form a crucial part of your job selection process. The reason for their popularity in job screening processes is due to the tests allowing employers to determine the way in which you think and react to new rules and scenarios. This is a skill required in nearly all jobs. Inductive reasoning is sometimes mixed up with diagrammatic reasoning or abstract reasoning. Example inductive reasoning tests include: Identifying a pattern between objects or verbal data and determining the next step in the pattern. Put more simply, the aim is to look at images (or text) and work out the pattern. It is important to practise these pre-employment selection tests as without an understanding of the principles involved or the practise under strict timed conditions you are limiting your chances of success. This workbook provides a complete guide to taking inductive reasoning tests and consists of 100s of sample test questions and answers. Each question is also accompanied with a detailed explanation so that you understand exactly how to answer each question.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION TO YOUR NEW GUIDE
Welcome to your new guide, Inductive Reasoning tests. This guide is a comprehensive testing book which provides plenty of practice questions for you to work through.
This book is aimed at anyone who wishes to successfully pass their Inductive Reasoning test. If you are asked to take an Inductive Reasoning test, you need to be able to complete the test with the best marks possible, and that is why we have created this guide in order to provide an understanding of what you can expect from your Inductive Reasoning assessment.
The key to success for psychometric testing books is practice and preparation. Try your hardest to get 100% in your answers; aiming for 100% will enable you to achieve success far more likely than if you sit a test in a negative frame of mind.
We have purposely provided you with lots of questions in order for you to gain a complete understanding of what you are likely to face in an Inductive Reasoning test.
It is important that when working through this book, you check your answers at the end of each testing chapter. Knowing where you went wrong and understanding what you need to do to reach the correct answer, is just as important as getting the correct answer. If you know how to fix your mistakes, you are far more likely to get the answer correct next time.
Good luck and we wish you all the best.
STRUCTURE OF THE BOOK
This book follows a very clear and simple structure in order for you to make the most out of your Inductive Reasoning testing guide.
We have provided you with six testing sections, each with a variety of questions and levels of difficulty for you to work through. Work through each chapter and then check your answers with the explanations provided.
This comprehensive Inductive Reasoning testing guide follows the structure as formulated below: Introduction – introducing your new guide About Inductive Reasoning tests Who takes an Inductive Reasoning test

ABOUT INDUCTIVE REASONING
ABOUT INDUCTIVE REASONING TESTS
WHO TAKES AN INDUCTIVE REASONING TEST?
An Inductive Reasoning test is often used in job selection processes to determine whether or not you are suitable for the job role. Inductive Reasoning has become a popular screening process, used by many employers to provide them with valuable information in regards to the way people think or react.
This test solely measures your ability to solve problems. These tests are designed to measure logical reasoning and perpetual reasoning skills. The skills you need to demonstrate in an Inductive Reasoning test are transferable skills that are applicable to most job roles, specifically to jobs involving engineering, science, IT or software development.
You may be required to sit an Inductive Reasoning test as an early screening process to eliminate candidates. You may also be required to sit the test alongside or before an interview, or you may be asked to take the test during an assessment day at an assessment centre.
As well as the Inductive Reasoning test, many selection processes also involve a Verbal and Non-Verbal test; therefore, it is important that you know how to successfully pass this stage of the selection process. Employers like to see candidates who show acute awareness and understanding of logical thinking and reasoning ability.
WHAT ARE INDUCTIVE REASONING TESTS?
Inductive Reasoning tests are similar to ‘Diagrammatic’ or ‘Abstract’ Reasoning tests, whereby the test requires you to identify patterns or consistencies amongst sets of objects, shapes or words.
These tests are often used interchangeably. While they are slightly different, the concept behind Inductive Reasoning and Abstract Reasoning remains the same. Both tests are used to assess a person’s logical and problem solving skills.
It is common for Inductive Reasoning tests to present matrices of shapes and objects to highlight patterns and similarities, in order to illustrate what is happening as a sequence progresses. These tests are a form of aptitude assessment, which generates logical and methodical understanding.
It is often said that people who perform to a high standard in these tests, tend to have higher levels of capacity in regards to thinking conceptually and analytically; they draw upon patterns and configurations, something employers often admire.
WHAT TO EXPECT?
Inductive Reasoning tests provide a series of diagrams, of which there will be an underlying rule affecting the layout. Your job is to identify what is happening in the diagrams to determine the pattern of the sequence.
Typically, in an Inductive Reasoning test you will need to choose between 4-6 possible answers. It is important that you understand the pattern of the sequence before choosing your answer. The answers will all look very similar; and at first glance, may seem like the correct answer. However, if you have not distinguished the correct pattern or rule that is recurring, the chances are you will not choose the correct answer.
There is often a strict time limit for these tests and therefore many candidates find it difficult to complete the test within the given timeframe. We cannot stress enough that these tests are merely used to decipher whether or not you are suitable for the specific job role you’re applying for. Therefore, employers are not looking for you to complete the test; moreover, they are looking at your accurate results, as well as efficiency.
AIMS FOR INDUCTIVE REASONING
For psychometric testing, you need to aim for speed as well as accuracy. It is important to be able to undergo these tests with the utmost confidence and composure, in order to work swiftly and effectively.
The aim of this book is simple; we want to ensure that you are provided with the best preparation and guidance when it comes to your Inductive Reasoning test. We take pride in helping others successfully pass psychometric tests and are proud to help people become one step closer to their goals and ambitions.
The main objective for us at How2become is to ensure that you are 100% comfortable with completing an Inductive Reasoning test; and to provide valuable and insightful knowledge and guidance in terms of Inductive Reasoning.
HOW CAN I PREPARE FOR AN INDUCTIVE REASONING TEST?
The only way to prepare for an Inductive Reasoning test, or any other form of psychometric testing, is simply through practising.
Practice is the best form of preparation. Most psychometric tests require you to be familiar with the concept and layout of the test in order to stand a chance of successfully passing. Practising will no doubt maximise your potential and performance and thus, increase your chances of success.
In order to succeed, you need to have a clear understanding of the principles and purpose of the test. You need to know what to expect and how to complete the questions, so it doesn’t startle you on the day of your real test.
Practising beforehand will also give you some indication of how well you will perform these tests under severe time constraints. As mentioned earlier, the tests can be set under strict time limits; thus practising will not only enable you to determine how well you perform under these time limits, but also will help to improve your logical ability and timing skills.
Although we have provided you with lots of practice que
