The General Cognitive Ability Test evaluates verbal, numerical, spatial, and abstract reasoning skills, combining these scores to produce a General Cognitive Ability score, referred to as “g.” This score represents an individual’s capacity to solve problems, process and apply information, acquire new skills, and navigate complex situations. Individuals with higher scores are typically quicker learners and more likely to perform effectively compared to those with lower scores.

Detailed Test Report
After a candidate completes the General Cognitive Ability Test, you can easily download or print a detailed test report.
The first page offers a clear overview of the candidate’s overall performance, including a percentile ranking to contextualize their results. This ranking compares the candidate’s score to a norm group, such as our 2013 test norming study of 5,000 individuals. For example, a score of 70 indicates the candidate performed as well as or better than 70% of the norm group.
You also have the flexibility to compare the candidate’s performance against the entire norm group or a specific segment within it.
