Logical reasoning is the ability to use logic, rationality, and critical thinking to analyze and solve problems. Logical reasoning tests are designed to measure your skills in identifying patterns, making deductions, drawing conclusions, and evaluating arguments. Logical reasoning tests are commonly used by employers to assess candidates for roles that require analytical ability, such as management, finance, law, and engineering.

✨Types of Logical Reasoning Tests

There are different types of logical reasoning tests, each with its own format, question style, and difficulty level. Some of the most common types are:

Deductive reasoning

You are given a set of premises or facts, and you have to find the only valid conclusion that follows from them.

Example:
Premise 1: All humans are mortal.
Premise 2: Socrates is a human.
Conclusion: Socrates is mortal.

Technique: Syllogism
Identify the major premise (All humans are mortal).
Identify the minor premise (Socrates is a human).
Deduce the conclusion (Socrates is mortal) by combining the premises logically.

Inductive Reasoning:

You are given a series of patterns, shapes, diagrams, or sequences, and you have to find the missing or next element, or the odd one out, based on the underlying rule or principle.

Example:
Sequence: 2, 4, 8, 16, ?

Technique: Pattern Recognition
Observe the sequence to find a pattern (each number is multiplied by 2).
Apply the pattern to the last number to find the next element (16 * 2 = 32).

Diagrammatic reasoning:

You are given a diagram with inputs, outputs, and processes, and you have to find the correct process or output that matches the given input, or vice versa.

Critical reasoning:

You are given a passage with an argument, evidence, or conclusion, and you have to evaluate the strength, validity, or assumption of the argument, or find the flaw, inference, or implication of the conclusion.

Example:
Passage: “Many people believe that video games contribute to violence in society. However, studies show no direct correlation between video game usage and violent behavior.”

Technique: Evaluating Evidence
Identify the argument (video games contribute to violence).
Analyze the evidence provided (studies show no direct correlation).
Evaluate the strength of the argument (the evidence weakens the argument).

Additional tips:

Stay calm and focused: Take deep breaths and remember your preparation. Don’t let anxiety affect your judgment.
Pay attention to details: Small details in the question or answer choices can be crucial. Don’t overlook anything.
Review answers: If time permits, go back and review answers, especially for uncertain ones. Sometimes, a second look reveals new insights.
