Big5 Assessments are cost-effective, quick intelligent recruitment reports that will help you identify and discover the best candidates more easily.

The Big5 Cognitive Ability Test measures an individual’s ability, speed of problem-solving, and learning styles. (this cognitive test is not able to be ordered by itself)

The 30 questions cognitive test is broken down into 10 items that measure verbal reasoning, 15 items that measure numerical reasoning, and 5 items that measure special reasoning. The report combines all three into an overall assessment score.

High scorers will learn new skills quickly and have the ability to solve more complex problems. Low scorers will take longer to acquire new skills, but once trained, they may be more successful than others in handling routine tasks.
