What is Cubiks?
Logiks aptitude tests
The Logiks General test is Cubiks' best-known product: a rapid mix of verbal, numerical and abstract reasoning. It is a speed test, so working quickly and accurately under pressure is the whole game.
Situational judgement
The Cubiks SJT presents realistic workplace scenarios and asks you to rate how effective each response would be, scored against an expert competency key.
PAPI personality
The Personality and Preference Inventory comes in normative (PAPI-N) and ipsative (PAPI-I) formats, producing a profile across 20 work-relevant trait dimensions.
What Each Test Measures
Logiks Verbal
Speed testWord analogies, synonyms, antonyms, odd-one-out and sentence completion. Pure language with no reading passages. The skill is fast, accurate word association under tight time pressure.
Logiks Numerical
Speed testMental arithmetic, number series, percentages and short word problems. There are no data tables, so the calculations are quick once you spot the right operation. Speed is essential.
Logiks Abstract
Speed testComplete a 3x3 matrix by working out the underlying pattern in shape, colour, size, direction or position. Modelled on Raven-style matrices, this measures fluid, non-verbal reasoning.
Situational Judgement
UntimedRealistic workplace scenarios with several possible responses. You rate how effective each response would be, and your ratings are compared with an expert competency key.
PAPI-N (Normative)
UntimedRate how strongly you agree with workplace statements on a 1-5 scale. Produces a profile across 20 trait dimensions. There are no right or wrong answers.
PAPI-I (Ipsative)
UntimedChoose which of two statements is more like you. The forced choice reveals what you prioritise, producing a relative ranking of your work-related traits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which employers use Cubiks tests?
Cubiks (now Talogy) assessments are common at mid-to-large UK employers and graduate schemes across finance, retail, engineering and the public sector. The Logiks General test is the version candidates encounter most often.
Is Logiks General the same as Logiks Advanced?
They share the same three-section structure. The Advanced version has fewer questions but each requires more multi-step reasoning, while the Intermediate version rewards fast recall. Practising the Intermediate format prepares you for both.
How is the Logiks test scored?
Your score is the number of correct answers, compared against a norm group. Because most candidates cannot finish in the time, pacing yourself to attempt as many items as possible is as important as accuracy.
Can you prepare for the PAPI personality tests?
There are no right or wrong answers, so you cannot revise for them. The value of practice is familiarity with the format so you can answer honestly and consistently without second-guessing.
How do I improve my Logiks score?
Drill the underlying skills until they are automatic: mental arithmetic and number series for numerical, word associations for verbal, and matrix pattern spotting for abstract. Then practise under time pressure so speed becomes natural.
Companies That Use Cubiks (now Talogy)
Cubiks assessments - the Logiks aptitude range and PAPI personality inventory - are used by insurers, manufacturers, banks and energy companies for graduate and professional hiring. Cubiks was acquired by PSI in 2019 and rebranded to Talogy in 2022, so the same tests now appear under both names.

Employers change assessment vendors over time, so confirm the current process for your role before preparing. The UK Civil Service online tests run on Talogy’s platform but are the Civil Service’s own tests, not Logiks; they have their own practice hub.
Guides and Tips
Read up before you practise: what the tests reward, what catches candidates out, and why shortcuts do not work.
Can You Cheat Cubiks and Logiks Tests?
When both options flatter you equally, there is nothing to fake. Cubiks and PAPI explained.
The Civil Service Fast Stream, Stage by Stage, and What Success Profiles Changes
Most Fast Stream guides describe a process that is no longer published. What gov.uk actually lists for 2026 entry, where the Judgement Test and Work Strengths tests really belong, and why the assessment centre marks 4D rather than the nine behaviours.
Assessments in Germany, France and the Wider EU: Einstellungstest, EPSO and Your Rights
A German Einstellungstest is not an aptitude battery, French law gives you rights before the test rather than after it, and EPSO lets you choose which of 24 languages you reason in. Three systems with one legal floor underneath them.
Personality Questionnaires: How to Answer Without Sabotaging Yourself
There are no right answers, and that is exactly why candidates lose ground on them. What the scales measure, what the validity checks catch, and how to answer.
Cubiks Logiks Tips: Speed Tests Where Rhythm Beats Precision
Logiks strips out the reading and the data tables and leaves raw speed: word association, mental arithmetic and matrices in four-minute bursts. The preparation is different from SHL.
The Four Situational Judgement Answer Formats, and Why They Score Differently
Most SJT advice ignores the response format entirely. Ranking all four options and picking the single best answer are not the same task, and they are not scored the same way.
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.
Logical Reasoning Test Practice
Shapes, sequences and flowcharts instead of words or numbers. Inductive, deductive, abstract, diagrammatic and spatial in one place.
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.
