WHAT IS THE BR?

Evaluate a Participant's Ability to Solve Work-Related Problems

Designed to assess advanced skills for leaders and complex, specialized roles, the Business Reasoning skills test assesses two aspects of advanced cognitive capacity and problem solving:

  • Advanced Language Reasoning Ability – Measures communication ability to understand and solve business problems in a written or verbal format using correct logic & judgment.
  • Advanced Numerical Reasoning Ability – Measures mathematical ability to understand and solve business problems in a numerical format by making the appropriate calculations & judgments.

The assessment takes approximately 25-30 minutes. Once completed, a report is automatically generated that contains insight into a candidate’s strengths, feedback on areas for development, training tips, and suggested interview questions based on report results.
