An Inductive Reasoning Test checks whether candidates can identify patterns, spot connections, and draw logical conclusions from sets of information. It is less about memorising rules and more about asking, “Do they see the bigger picture hiding inside the smaller details?”
The Inductive Reasoning Test is designed to answer one direct question: can candidates look at unfamiliar information and still make sense of it? Unlike deductive reasoning, which follows a clear set of rules, inductive reasoning is about recognising trends, building hypotheses, and predicting outcomes.
Inductive reasoning is everywhere at work. A data analyst looks at monthly sales and notices demand is picking up in one region. A risk manager notices repeated small errors in reports and guesses there may be a larger systemic issue. Even a marketing associate sees a pattern in customer feedback that hints at an opportunity. If people cannot spot these patterns, they will be forever reacting instead of anticipating.
Some examples make this clearer. Imagine a graduate trainee asked to solve a sequence puzzle: four figures are in a row, and the task is to predict the fifth. Can they crack the logic? Think of operations managers who have to review delivery times across locations. Do they notice that one city is always taking longer? Or are they completely missing this pattern? These are the moments that separate those who can connect the dots from those who cannot.
Different versions of this test have their own emphasis. The Inductive Aptitude Test checks for general pattern-spotting ability. The Inductive Ability Test reinforces whether this ability to spot patterns is being consistently applied in various cases. The Inductive Thinking Test measures if they are extending these identified insights to their work-related decisions. The Advanced Inductive Test comes with more layers and multi-step problems. Missing one link breaks the entire chain. Together, these tests identify the people that can bring order amidst chaos.
For recruiters, this becomes a filter that minimises risk. They don’t have to just assume that new risks will be able to handle abstract reasoning, they can see it proven. Candidates also get the opportunity to demonstrate real-world intelligence that may not be captured in their academic grades.

The Smart Match Score acts as a link between reading performance and job functionalities:
Struggles when provided with patterns to make predictions. Problem-solving roles are not ideal for them.
Can spot basic trends and manage structured problems. Basic guidance can graduate them to complex tasks.
Can make accurate calculations needed in analytical roles by quickly connecting dots.

The Inductive Reasoning Test measures whether candidates are identifying patterns before making predictions. Do they have the capability to make use of logical insights while attending to real scenarios at work?
Practice visual puzzles, data trends, and sequence problems. Focus on working quickly without skipping accuracy.
It involves multi-layered patterns and abstract sequences that need careful step-by-step reasoning to solve.
The level depends on the role. The entry-level versions just include simple sequences. Consulting or analyst roles will however demand more complex logic.
General reasoning checks logic in structured problems. Inductive reasoning tests candidates on their ability to spot patterns even when presented with less-structured and unfamiliar data.
