Goodfit

A reasoning test shows how quickly someone can learn the job

Many jobs change every year, with new products, tools and rules. Years of experience on a resume do not show how fast a person picks up something new. A reasoning test does. Candidates solve problems they have not seen before, under the same time limit. Use it for graduate programs, operations and analyst roles, and any job with a long training period.

What candidates answer and what your team gets back

The cognitive ability test sits in the Goodfit skill test library. Send it as it is, or change the questions, timers and pass mark for each job.

Question groups

Questions come in four groups: numbers, words, patterns and logic

Numerical questions use tables, percentages and rates. Verbal questions use short passages. Abstract questions are shape patterns shown as pictures. Logical questions use sequences and if-then rules. Each question has four options and one best answer.

  • Numerical: price changes, ratios and simple tables
  • Verbal: what a short passage says and does not say
  • Abstract: the missing shape in a pattern
  • Logical: the next item in a sequence and if-then rules

Scores

Each part gets its own score next to the total

A total of 7 out of 10 can hide a weak spot. The report splits the result into the four groups. You can see that someone is quick with numbers but slow with written rules. Hard questions can be worth more points than easy ones.

  • Points and a score out of 10 for each group
  • Every question shows the option picked and the right one
  • Questions left blank when time ran out are marked skipped
  • Download the report as a PDF or share a private link

Timers

Every candidate gets the same time limits

Set a timer for each question, such as 45 seconds, or one timer for the whole test. When a question timer reaches zero, the answer locks and the next question opens. With one timer for the whole test, Goodfit submits the test when time is up and scores what was answered.

  • Give harder groups more seconds per question
  • Whole-test timers run from 10 to 120 minutes
  • The time spent on each answer is saved
  • A test that runs out of time is still scored

Question pools

Each candidate gets a different set of questions

Put more questions in each group than you plan to ask. Goodfit draws a set number from each group at random for every candidate. Two friends who apply for the same job see different questions, so answers shared online help much less.

  • Choose how many questions to draw from each group
  • Each question is tagged easy, medium or hard
  • Shuffle the order of questions too
  • With pools, the pass mark is a score out of 10, so everyone is judged the same way

Proctoring

Goodfit logs tab switches and looks for AI tools during the test

The test runs in fullscreen with the camera on. Each tab switch, fullscreen exit and paste is saved with the time. Goodfit also checks the browser for AI assistant extensions. A replay of the test page plays next to the camera video.

  • Every browser event is saved with its time
  • Goodfit names any AI browser assistant it finds, such as a ChatGPT extension
  • A phone can join as a second camera
  • Each result gets an integrity rating: high risk, review or clear

Shortlist

Set a pass mark and rank everyone who took the test

Choose the lowest score that moves a candidate forward. Everyone below it is marked not a fit, and you can still move anyone forward by hand. Sort the list by total or by one part, then send the top group to the AI interview in one step.

  • Sort by the total or by any of the four parts
  • Open a candidate to see each answer and the time it took
  • Move a whole group to the next step at once
  • Results post to your Slack channel as tests are scored

FAQ

Cognitive ability test: common questions

How long does the cognitive ability test take?
The standard version has 32 questions and takes 30 minutes. You can change the number of questions and the timers, from a short 10-minute check to a longer test.
Can we change the questions?
Yes. Remove questions, add your own multiple-choice questions or change how many are drawn from each group. Your copy is saved apart from the library version.
Does a high score mean we should hire the person?
No. The score shows how well someone reasoned on the day, under time pressure. Read it next to a skill test and an AI interview, and let your team make the call.
What stops candidates from looking up the answers?
Per-question timers leave little time to search. Goodfit also logs tab switches and pastes, checks for AI browser tools and records the camera. Each result gets an integrity rating of high risk, review or clear.
