Item Banked

CRTBi is an Item Banked assessment of critical ability and can therefore be administered using remote unsupervised administration via Psytech GeneSys.

What CRTBi measures

Verbal Critical Reasoning measures the ability to understand and accurately draw logical conclusions and inferences from complex reports. Consequently, it forms a key assessment for managerial and professional roles which require accurate interpretation of written reports and rational decision making.

Numerical Critical Reasoning measures the ability to understand and critically evaluate a wide range of numerical data and draw logical conclusions from this. Consequently, it forms a key assessment for managerial and professional roles which require the ability to understand financial, numerical and statistical information.

Advantages

CRTBi is quicker to administer than most other critical reasoning tests. Both the verbal and numerical sub-tests can be completed in 40 minutes. Applicants find CRTBi to be more acceptable than traditional reasoning tests as it contains problems which are relevant to management and business functions. It is available in paper and pencil format, or online and offline using the GeneSys platform.

CRTBi has been completed by thousands of people worldwide from a variety of occupations and cultural backgrounds. As a result, an extensive range of norms exist enabling respondents’ results to be compared to those obtained by a wide range of professional groups.
