How the inductive test works
Each question shows a logical sequence of five figures with one missing, and you choose the answer that best matches the missing figure. Test Partnership’s example test gives 15 questions with 60 seconds each, in line with the 15 minutes and 15 questions on its product page.
The material is abstract shapes, sequences and rules that change from question to question, and Test Partnership says the test measures learning agility and general reasoning rather than prior knowledge or experience.
A minute per question
Because each question has its own 60 seconds, time you save on an easy item does not carry over to a hard one. When the minute is nearly up, choose your best candidate rather than leaving the question blank.
- Track one property at a time across the figures you can see: position, rotation, count, shading.
- Predict the missing figure before you look at the options, then find the match.
- If two options fit, check a property you have not yet tested.
How it is scored
The test adapts as you progress and questions are weighted by difficulty, so harder questions contribute more to your final score than easier ones. Test Partnership does not publish a pass mark.
How our practice version works
Our version gives 15 figure sequences, 60 seconds each, with no time carried between questions. Difficulty follows an adaptive ladder of our own over a fixed pool of items, and the wrong options are built as near misses.
Nothing is deducted for a wrong answer. Our figures are our own designs, so treat them as practice in the format rather than copies of Test Partnership items.
