De Nederlandsche Bank analogies practice for application
Prepare for the De Nederlandsche Bank assessment analogies with clear expectations, focused practice, and support for your application process.
Prepare with clear expectations
If you are applying to De Nederlandsche Bank and have been invited to the GITP assessment, it helps to know what the analogies part is testing. This module focuses on verbal reasoning and on recognizing relationships between words or concepts in a calm, structured way.
In a hiring process, that clarity can make a difference. Practicing ahead of time helps you approach the test with more confidence and gives you a better sense of the question style you may meet on the day.
The exercises are designed to support targeted preparation for applicants who want to work through the material before the assessment starts. You can use them alongside the information in your invitation email or the GITP online platform.

What this module trains
Each item asks you to identify how two words are connected and then choose the answer option that follows the same relationship. The link may be based on meaning, function, category, or another clear verbal connection.
The format is straightforward, but the challenge lies in working accurately and keeping your pace steady. That makes focused practice useful for candidates who want to move through the assessment with less uncertainty.
The module matches the kind of reasoning used in GITP assessments, where several aptitude components may appear. For De Nederlandsche Bank, the invitation tells you which parts apply to your assessment.
A practical way to prepare
Start by reading the pairs carefully and naming the relationship in plain language before looking at the answer choices. This keeps your attention on the logic of the analogy instead of on individual words alone.
Then compare the options one by one and check whether the same relationship holds. If a choice feels close, test it against both words in the original pair to see whether the connection is truly the same.
Using the practice in this way can help you build a steadier approach. That is useful in an application setting, where you want to stay focused and complete the assessment efficiently.
How this fits the De Nederlandsche Bank assessment
The De Nederlandsche Bank assessment is administered by GITP and may include aptitude and personality components. The aptitude test is compared with a norm group, so preparation is best used to become familiar with the question types and the pace of the test.
Analogies are one of the verbal reasoning exercises you may encounter, alongside other parts such as matrices, number series, and figure series. The exact combination depends on your invitation email or the GITP online platform.
This module is meant as a practical supplement to that invitation. It helps applicants focus on the relevant material and enter the assessment with a clearer sense of what to expect.
