Assessio Practice Examples

Assessio examples in short
In the Netherlands, Assessio's capacity tests come from HFMtalentindex, which has been part of Assessio since 2019. They cover five areas: abstract reasoning, numerical reasoning, logical reasoning, arithmetic and verbal ability. Your invitation says which tests you take.
Below is one worked example for each area, in the question type that practice for that area usually uses. Assessio also offers Matrigma, a separate non-verbal test with matrix puzzles, so there is an example for that too.

This gives you an immediate feel for the question style and the value of the practice environment.
Worked examples
Abstract reasoning: figure series
An arrow points up, then right, then down. Which direction comes next? Answer: left. The arrow turns 90° clockwise at every step.
Numerical reasoning: number series
2 – 6 – 18 – 54 – ? Answer: 162. Each number is the previous one times 3.
Logical reasoning: syllogisms
All managers are employees. Some employees work part-time. Does it follow that some managers work part-time? Answer: no. The part-timers could all be employees who are not managers.
Verbal ability: analogies
Doctor : hospital = teacher : ? Answer: school. The relationship is 'works in'.
Arithmetic
What is 15% of 80? Answer: 12. 10% of 80 is 8 and 5% is 4, so 8 + 4 = 12.
Matrigma: matrices
In a 3×3 grid, each row has a circle, a square and a triangle, and the number of dots goes up by one from left to right. The bottom row shows a triangle with one dot and a circle with two dots. What is missing? Answer: a square with three dots.
How to use examples in timed practice
Start with a few examples from each area and work against a time limit. The goal is to know each question type, so you lose no time on the instructions in the real test.
After each round, review where you lost time. Often it is not the reasoning, but hesitating at the start, rereading, or trying to solve a series before you have found the rule.
Check your invitation first. If it names the VIT or specific SIT tests, practise those areas. If it names Matrigma, practise matrices.
