What is Cognitive Ability Battery?
The Cognitive Ability Battery (CAB) combines six distinct reasoning tests into a single administration, giving you a broad cognitive profile in one administration. General mental ability is among the strongest single predictors of job performance in the selection research (Schmidt & Hunter, 1998).

What does Cognitive Ability Battery include?
- Numerical, Verbal, Abstract, Mechanical, Attention to Detail, Diagrammatic reasoning
- Run the full battery or select individual modules per role requirement
- Composite g-score plus individual sub-test breakdowns
- Proctoring and anti-cheating safeguards built into the timed administration
- Built on general mental ability, one of the most heavily researched areas of personnel selection
Why does it matter?
Ree & Earles (1992) found that general cognitive ability (g) accounts for most of the predictive validity even in multi-aptitude batteries, in line with Schmidt & Hunter's (1998) finding that GMA is among the strongest single predictors across occupations. Used well, a cognitive test adds a structured signal that an unstructured interview alone does not provide.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to run all 6 sub-tests?
No โ each module can be run independently or combined based on role requirements; the full battery gives the most complete picture for senior or highly analytical roles.
How long does the full battery take?
Approximately 75 minutes for all 6 modules; most roles use a 2-3 module subset taking 30-45 minutes.
