Cognitive Ability Testing
Ability Testing for Your Team
MEASURE WHAT REALLY MATTERSWhat Is a Cognitive Ability Test?
Cognitive ability testing measures how well an individual can reason, problem-solve, and adapt to new information. Unlike resumes or interviews, which can sometimes mask a candidate’s true potential, these assessments offer objective insight into future job performance.
At DMC, we rely on some of the most respected and scientifically validated tools available. The Wonderlic Personnel Test gauges general intelligence and learning agility, making it particularly useful for roles that demand quick decision-making.
Raven’s Progressive Matrices focuses on abstract reasoning and pattern recognition, providing a culture- and language-independent measure of problem-solving ability. The Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal evaluates how effectively someone can analyze information, draw logical conclusions, and make sound judgments. Each of these tools provides a distinct lens into a candidate’s capabilities, and when combined, they create a reliable picture of who will thrive in your organization.
