Numerical reasoning test built on the charts and tables people read at work
Candidates read a sales table, a cost chart or a price list and answer questions about it. The test has one 20-minute timer. You see a score for percentages, ratios, rates and data reading, plus the option the candidate picked on every question.

Mistakes with numbers cost money in finance, operations and analyst roles
A wrong discount, a misread forecast or a stock count that is off by ten can cost a lot. Interviews rarely check number skills, because asking someone to do math out loud feels awkward. A short timed test checks it the same way for every applicant, before anyone books an interview.
What the questions look like and how they are scored
The standard test has 20 questions in four groups and takes 20 minutes. Use it as it is, or add questions built on your own reports.
Data questions
Questions are built on a chart or table, like a real report
Most questions show a table or a chart first. The candidate has to find the right figures and then work with them. This is closer to daily work than a sum on its own. School-level math is enough. There is no algebra.
- Percentages: discounts, margins and growth
- Ratios: staff to customers, cost to revenue
- Rates: units per hour, cost per unit, time to finish
- Charts and tables: find, compare and spot the odd figure

Scores
You get a score for each kind of number problem
Someone can be sure with percentages and still get lost in a chart. The report scores the four groups apart. You see where a candidate is ready and what a new manager might need to coach.
- Points and a score out of 10 for each group
- Hard questions can be worth more points
- Skipped questions are listed by group
- The total and each group show on the candidate list

Near misses
A close answer can earn part of the points
Some wrong answers are nearly right, like a figure rounded the wrong way. You can give each option its own weight from 0 to 100. The best answer gets full points and a near miss gets part of them. The report marks those answers as partial.
- Turn on weighted options for any question
- The best option always earns full points
- The report shows the option picked and its weight
- Leave weights off for plain right-or-wrong questions

Timing
One 20-minute timer, and the test is submitted when it ends
The standard test uses one timer for all 20 questions. When time is up, Goodfit submits the test and scores every answer given. You can switch to a timer on each question for a stricter test.
- Whole-test timers from 10 to 120 minutes
- Or a timer on each question, where the answer locks at zero
- Unanswered questions score zero
- Question order shuffled for each candidate

Pass marks
Set a different pass mark for each job
The same test can screen several jobs. An analyst role needs a higher bar than a store manager role. Set the pass mark on each job. Candidates below it are marked not a fit, and a recruiter can still move anyone forward.
- One test, many jobs, each with its own pass mark
- Candidates below the mark stay open for review
- Change the mark later without changing the test
- Combine it with a skill test for the job
