Smarter tests, better hires.

Assess numerical, analytical, and problem-solving skills with: Mapped or Numerical Skills Test (NST).

Our ready-to-use cognitive ability tests are designed to help you identify top talent and efficiently handle high-volume roles.

Measure Candidates On Skills Needed For The Job

Mapped was built by strategy consultants and behavioural scientists to help you find candidates for analytical jobs in professional services. Numerical Skills Test can be used for analytical roles and applies to a wide range of industries.

Good for you, good for candidates
Tests are intuitive to access and navigate. Easily support reasonable adjustments and help candidates do their best with practice environments.

What skills can you test with our cognitive ability tests?

Mapped
Basic mathematical skills: percentages, calculus, orders of magnitude
Interpreting data: understanding the story in graphs and tables
Analytical thinking: using available information to creatively solve problems
Error spotting and attention to detail: identifying the extra zero or wrong calculation
Numerical Skills Test (NST)
Numerical computation: addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, percentages, ratios, fractions, decimals
Numerical estimation: accurately making estimates of the answers to straightforward numerical questions
Numerical reasoning: working out how to get an answer rather than being told what calculations to apply
Data interpretation: interpreting data in charts, graphs, scatter plots, and tables


Some cognitive ability tests can harm Diversity



Our data show that differences in scores across sociodemographic groups its not inherent to ability, but instead phenomena like responses to competitive environments, risk appetite, and stereotype threat.

That's why for our ready-to-use tests, like Mapped and the Numerical Skills Test, we use behavioural expertise to mitigate the potential for bias against traditionally under-represented groups.
Automatically score & save candidates’ answers
Manage high-volume roles efficiently
Find genuine problem-solving, analytical, and commercial skills

Our Research And Behavioural Science Design Principles

Mapped and Numerical Skills Tests are pre-built assessments to run alongside your current hiring process. Designed to minimise factors that can unconsciously impact performance, our tests offer a true depiction of a candidate's skills - without bias.
