IQ test No. 5 (the simplest)
Spatial perception
Spatial awareness refers to the perceptual and cognitive ability that enables activities involving three-dimensional space. People who score high on the spatial awareness test often excel in professional fields such as architecture, photography, technical design and decoration; In addition, such people can be good artists, carpenters, landscape designers, animators, tour guides, fashion designers and engineers.
Number Sequencing Test
Numerical ability is a significant indicator of general intelligence because many daily tasks require arithmetic or mental processing, even though numbers may not be involved.
Test for solving numerical problems
Mathematical intelligence tests are often designed to test logical thinking and the ability to use a sequential and analytical approach to solving a problem. Such tests allow employers to test the mathematical ability of potential employees and determine the professional aptitude and knowledge required to work with numbers, as well as their ability to apply their knowledge to solve problems requiring mathematical analysis.
Eysenck test No. 2
Dr. Eysenck developed an intelligence quotient (IQ) test in the mid-20th century. His tests provide the most accurate IQ measurement. When tested on a typical modern intelligence test, about 50% of the population has an IQ between 90 and 110, 25% below 90. (A score of 100 is the sample average). And only 14.5% of people have an IQ from 110 to 120, 7% - from 120 to 130, 3% - from 130 to 140. And no more than 0.5% of the population have an IQ of more than 140.
IQ test No. 2 (use your brains)
An IQ test assesses the level of mental development. The tasks are distributed according to difficulty level, each of which is standardized. Tests not only show your IQ, but also reveal your preferred way of thinking (logical, imaginative, mathematical, verbal). The lower the score you get for one of the strategies, the greater the reserves hidden in you. By identifying gaps in your strategies, you can then train them and raise your IQ.
IQ test No. 3 (Get those brains up)
An IQ test (intelligence quotient test) is a standardized test designed to evaluate human intelligence, separate from acquired knowledge. The IQ test consists of three sections, each of which is designed to test different abilities (verbal reasoning, mathematical and graphic ability, spatial reasoning, logic).
Perhaps most young people already know about testing for employment, especially those who are planning to “storm” corporate bastions. For middle-aged and older specialists, such a system is most likely a novelty, because they still saw the socialist “distribution” of future jobs, and even now the Western personnel evaluation system is used by many companies, but not yet everywhere. One of the most common tests is , the result of this test will give the employer an idea of your analytical skills.
The selection used in companies and corporations, even if it has some shortcomings, is still the most objective assessment system, because all candidates solve the same questions. Subjectivism can arise at the interview stage, where personal impressions decide a lot, but testing is absolutely objective. In this case, it may turn out that you will be passing through, and not remotely.
Using Math Tests
When applying for a job, a mathematical test is used by all branches of Western companies, as well as by most domestic corporations. Employers are satisfied with the tests because they reduce the time spent on assessing each applicant, especially since the competition at Gazprom or Lukoil can include hundreds of applicants per position. Tests, especially their online versions, allow you to instantly process the results, compare them with any target group, and analyze them in any way you like.
For the candidates themselves, employment tests are a chance to apply for a high position. For example, Talent Q's dynamic scoring system reviews each candidate's answer and gives the next one based on accuracy and time spent. It is quite possible, by giving quickly correct answers, to reach a maximum level of complexity comparable to the results of managers and top managers.
Auditing, consulting companies, banks, representatives of the FMCG, IT, fuel and energy sectors use testing, and these are such well-known brands as: BAT, Google, L'Oreal, Raiffeisen Bank, Johnson&Johnson, Nestle, Danone, Lukoil, Mars, inBev, JTI, Apple, Cisco, JP Morgan, Rosneft, Unilever, Deutsche Bank, McKinsey&Company, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, KPMG, Ernst&Young. The list could take a long time, because these are only the most well-known companies, and there are hundreds and thousands of companies with lower financial indicators. It is possible to get a job in one of these corporations, but you need to pass a math test well when applying for a job, and go through several more selection stages.
Composition of a math test
Mathematical (numerical) tests are created by two leading companies: SHL and Talent Q. SHL was the first to create such tests, Talent Q was the first to introduce an online system for intelligent selection of tasks for each applicant.
The standard composition of a math test is approximately 15 tasks, which must be solved in 15-20 minutes. There is enough time; every educated person can solve an example of a mathematical test when applying for a job, but the presentation of the material is somewhat unusual. The data is presented in the format of graphs, charts, tables, below are the answer options, and there may be 4-5 of them, or maybe several dozen with small steps so that it is impossible to choose the correct option.
The problems themselves involve the use of simple arithmetic operations; to solve them you will need to calculate percentages, work with tables, histograms, charts, perform currency conversions, and calculate shares and dividends. Interview tests are often transformed for a specific company or industry, that is, for accountants it will be necessary to solve postings, for financiers - to calculate dividends, etc.
Sometimes, at complex levels, a large amount of information is given, and you need to find the data that is needed for calculations, while ignoring the rest. A large table, several graphs, or a histogram combined with a graph may be given. The options are different, but they make working with numbers much more difficult. and should not be very easy, especially when it comes to employment in a top company, because their employees will need to make complex decisions in the workplace, and for this they need to be able to count, make logical conclusions, and generally work with large amounts of information.
Many experienced job applicants pass the math test easily and score in the 80-90 percentile, but they trained for this or took so many attempts that the tests themselves turned into a training process. It must be admitted that it is easier to talk about success than failure, although on specialized forums visitors who are quite truthful often report failed tests.
Forums
The first step is to find such a forum and leave it in your “favorites”, because first-hand information is posted there, such “insights” are difficult to overestimate. Some forum participants sometimes give examples of mathematical tests, analyze complex tasks, but there is no point in memorizing them, but post them in order to understand, figure out with the help of colleagues how to solve complex problems. “Online math test for job applications” is a highly sought-after search query, but many applicants rely on some cheat sheets when looking for an opportunity to practice.
Preparation online
Also, applicants need to focus on online training, because many companies have switched to remote testing, and the rest are in the process. You can take a mathematical test when applying for a job, or rather a trial test, on the websites of some companies, but such tasks are easier than the original ones. Available examples from the Internet will also not correspond to the real level of complexity, and the best option for preparation is to use materials prepared by reputable developers. Such collections contain tasks, answers, explanations for solutions, and recently it became possible to complete them online with a sufficient level of complexity.
Diagnostics of mathematical intelligence Test of mathematical analogies (V. N. Druzhinin)
The tasks included in the mathematical analogies test must meet the requirements for any ability tests: be standard, homogeneous in structure, equivalent, or ordered by difficulty. In addition, they must satisfy the requirements of theoretical validity: to diagnose mathematical ability as such. To this is added the requirement for the ecological validity of the test: its compliance with the scientific and practical task.
Since the most important requirement we placed on the tasks was their applicability in school practice, as test material we used tasks developed by A. G. Gaishtut, aimed at developing in students such mental operations as analysis, synthesis, analogy, and generalization.
From the author’s point of view, “mathematics, as is known, is a demonstrative or deductive science... But the proof is revealed with the help of plausible reasoning, with the help of a guess. The two types of reasoning – demonstrative and plausible – complement each other.” The problems proposed by Gaishtut are formulated on the basis of material from a mathematics course from 4th to 10th grade and consist of 5 series: 4th grade, 5th grade, 6-7th grades, 8th grade, 9th -10th grade. Solving problems of each type requires knowledge of the educational material, but, in addition, the ability to mentally detect relationships between spatial and symbolic elements of the problem conditions and the ability to perform mathematical operations with mathematical structures. Thus, the tasks proposed by Gaishtut can be used to diagnose the level of development of thinking, the mental ability to operate with abstract structures using mathematical material.
Let's look at a sample task:
1. Find Electricity XIII
Unknown mathematician?
These tasks include 4 elements, one of which is unknown. You need to find an unknown element. A solution can be found only when the auxiliary problem is solved: the relationships between the elements of the initial conditions of the problem are identified. Between the elements “electricity” and XIII there is a relation of identity: the number of letters in the word “electricity” is 13, between the elements “electricity” and “mathematician” there is a relation of difference: a different number of letters. Consequently, it is required that the unknown be in the same relation of identity with the element “mathematician” and in the same relation of quantitative difference with element XIII as the elements “mathematician” and “electricity”. The unknown element is the number IX. Consequently, the subject must perform operations of comparison of elements, identify the type of relationship - quantitative differences, and make a conclusion by analogy. As you can see, the relationships between the elements of the problem are arithmetic; the test subject is required to have knowledge of digital notations and the ability to read and count, as well as mastery of arithmetic operations. Therefore, this task corresponds to the level of preparation of a 4th grade student. Thus, despite the fact that the problem contains specific material and its solution requires standard knowledge and skills, this problem can be successfully solved only by having a certain level of development of thinking ability, operating with symbolic (spatial-sign) structures. Consequently, the tasks satisfy the requirement we put forward: to simultaneously diagnose the level of development of productive mathematical thinking (discovering new relationships) and reproductive mathematical thinking (finding a solution through the application of knowledge). Since the test material must correspond to the high school curriculum, the test was divided into 5 subtests: 1) subtest for 4th grade, 2) subtest for 5th grade, 3) subtest for 6th grade, 4) subtest for 7th grade. 8th grade and 5) subtest for 9-10th grade.
Now we present the results of standardization of the test of mathematical analogies (TMA).
The total number of subjects was 350. The number of subjects in each educational class was 50. The following values of means and variances were obtained, characterizing the difficulty and differentiating power of the test.
It turned out that the subtests for the 5th and 9th grades caused difficulties for students. However, it should be noted that testing of students in grades 9-10 of a regular school took place after the end of classes. A survey of students showed that they were tired and uninterested in completing assignments.
When testing in other classes, x" values were obtained close to 5 points (5 correctly solved problems), which indicates the equivalence of the tasks. The variances of the average score do not differ significantly. Consequently, all subtests have approximately equal differentiating power.
Let's consider the indicators of differentiating power and the difficulty of individual tasks using the example of a subtest for grades 7-8.
The difficulty coefficient of individual tasks is within 0.25< р <0,71.
Thus, it can be argued that the test tasks belong to the group of tasks of medium difficulty.
Let us present these task difficulties for all subtests, where the difficulty is equal to the ratio of the number of test takers who solved the test to the total number of test takers.
Corresponding results for assessing the differentiating power of tasks in standard deviation units (?).
The proposed test of mathematical analogies “Gaishtut Problems” (TMA) can be used to diagnose the level of development of general intelligence and mathematical abilities. The test has sufficient internal and external validity. The success of the test is related to the level of development of the ability to mentally solve problems, conceptual and spatial thinking. The test should be tested during tests and independent work, since it is standardized in these situations. Inclusion of the test in examination papers should be avoided. TMA should be applied after completing the relevant educational material, that is, at the end of the year (grades 4, 5, 6) or 2 years of study (grades 7-8, 9-10). The test tasks are highly homogeneous. If subjects solve more than 5 tasks, we can assume that they have a high level of development of the ability to think by analogies. If it is less, then a definite diagnosis should not be made. It is necessary to conduct a repeated examination after some time and use other similar tests as a supplement.

This is probably the only math test of its kind that does not involve any problem solving. The point is completely different.
The fact is that every person by nature, to one degree or another, has a sense of quantity. This is when, looking at several groups of objects, you can determine by eye which one is larger.
So, psychologists have found that the more developed the natural sense of quantity, the greater the mathematical potential a person has. People with high mathematical potential master the exact sciences more easily and quickly, and also achieve a higher level of understanding of mathematics.

Test name. Psychological test "Analytical mathematical abilities. Form A"
Short name. AMS.A
Purpose.
This psychological test is designed to diagnose analytical mathematical abilities. Analytical math skills are considered academic skills. That is, first of all, they allow a person to better assimilate educational material, in this case mathematics. Analytical math skills are highly correlated with IQ, which is why most IQ tests include a subtest that measures number patterns. Those with high scores in analytical mathematical abilities demonstrate analytical abilities not only in the field of mathematics, but also in other diverse problems. Those with low scores for this quality show neither the ability nor the inclination to analyze, and often commit unjustifiably frivolous acts.
The test stimulus material consists of twenty number series. Each row includes ten numbers that are in a certain relationship with each other. One of the ten numbers is missing (marked with an ellipsis). The test subject's task is to find this missing number.
The technique can be carried out either in individual work with the subject or in a group. Test time: 15 minutes. It is prohibited to use a calculator or make any supporting notes.
The methodology can be used in school psychology when analyzing the mathematical abilities of students, and in the process of professional selection for professions that require well-developed mathematical and analytical abilities: various types of analysts, economists, etc.
The technique has four different forms (A, B, C and D). This form is Form A.
Qualities assessed. Analytical math skills
Order of conduct
The subject is given stimulus material and an answer form. The duration of the procedure is 15 minutes.
Instructions
Now you will receive tasks. Each task is a series of numbers. These numbers follow a certain pattern. Find this pattern. One of the ten numbers in the series is missing. Using the pattern you found, determine what kind of number it is. Write this number on your answer sheet and proceed to the next task. If you can’t solve one task for a long time, then move on to another. Time you have: 15 minutes.
