All Tests
Strengths-Based Situational Judgement
Read realistic workplace scenarios and rate how effective each response would be. Scored against an expert strengths key - and how quickly and confidently you answer contributes to your result. Mirrors the core Cappfinity strengths-based SJT used by EY, Teach First and other graduate schemes.
Strengths Profile
Rate how well a series of work-context statements reflect you on a 1-5 scale. Both your rating and how quickly you respond feed a profile across your strength dimensions - fast, confident answers signal a genuine strength. Mirrors the Cappfinity strengths preference assessment.
Numerical Reasoning
Interpret data tables and charts to answer arithmetic and trend questions within a contextualised job simulation. Select the correct answer from five options. Mirrors the numerical component included in many Cappfinity assessments.
What is Cappfinity?
Strengths-based approach
Cappfinity focuses on what you naturally do well and what energises you, rather than only what you can do. Its assessments are built around your strengths.
Response time matters
A distinctive feature is that how quickly and confidently you respond is part of the signal. Fast, genuine answers indicate an authentic strength rather than a performed one.
Job simulations
Tests are delivered as contextualised, employer-specific job simulations, often blending situational judgement, a strengths profile and aptitude questions.
What Each Test Measures
Strengths-Based Situational Judgement
~20 minutesRealistic workplace scenarios with several possible responses. You rate how effective each response would be, scored against an expert strengths key. How quickly and confidently you answer also contributes to your result.
Strengths Profile
~10 minutesRate how well a series of work-context statements reflect you on a 1-5 scale. Both your rating and your response time feed a profile across your strength themes: fast, confident answers signal a genuine strength.
Numerical Reasoning
~10 minutesInterpret data tables and charts to answer arithmetic and trend questions, choosing from five options. Included in many Cappfinity job simulations alongside the strengths components.
Verbal / Critical Thinking
~10 minutesRead a short passage and judge whether each statement is True, False, or Cannot Say based only on the text. Tests careful reading and disciplined inference.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should I approach a strengths-based SJT?
Read each scenario once, then rate the responses at a natural, confident pace. Because Cappfinity weights quick, genuine answers, over-thinking or trying to game the "ideal" answer can work against you. Focus on what genuinely reflects effective, strengths-led behaviour.
Are there right or wrong answers in the strengths profile?
No. The strengths profile maps your natural preferences and energies, not ability. The best approach is to answer honestly and instinctively so the profile is an accurate reflection of you.
Do the numerical and verbal sections always appear?
Not always. Cappfinity deployments are bespoke per employer. Some include numerical and verbal reasoning as part of the job simulation; others focus purely on the strengths components. Practising all four prepares you whichever mix you face.
Why does response time matter?
Cappfinity’s theory is that a quick, confident response to an option that fits your strengths reflects authentic preference, whereas a slow answer may be strategic or performed. Practising the format helps you answer at a natural pace without rushing or freezing.
How do I improve on the aptitude sections?
For numerical, drill percentages, ratios and reading data from tables and charts. For verbal, practise judging statements strictly against the passage without bringing in outside knowledge. Both improve with focused, timed practice.

Can You Cheat the Cappfinity Strengths Test?

Group Exercises and Role Plays: What Assessors Actually Write Down
Assessors do not form an impression of you, they run a procedure: observe, record, classify, rate. Knowing the procedure explains why dominating the discussion costs marks and which four contributions reliably earn them.
Cappfinity Tips: How a Strengths Assessment Is Scored Differently
A strengths assessment records not just what you answer but how quickly. That makes constructing the ideal response counterproductive, and it changes how you prepare.
Practice by Test Type
Compare the same format across every provider that uses it, and see what each one is really measuring.
Numerical Reasoning Test Practice
Tables, charts, percentages and ratios against the clock. The most common screening test on graduate schemes and analyst roles.
Verbal Reasoning Test Practice
Short dense passages and true, false or cannot say answers. Judged on what the text supports, never on what you already know.
Situational Judgement Test Practice
Realistic workplace scenarios scored against an employer competency framework. No maths, no time pressure, and a scoring key you can reason about.
Personality Test Practice for Job Applications
No right answers, which is exactly why they unsettle people. Learn the traits, the consistency checks and the formats before you sit one for real.
