Cubiks assessments are designed to evaluate candidates’ cognitive abilities, personality traits, and behavioral preferences. These tests are used by employers worldwide to screen, select, and develop talent, ensuring the best fit for various roles within their organizations.
Key Types of Tests
Ability Tests (Logiks)
- Logiks General Intermediate and Advanced: These tests assess verbal, numerical, and abstract reasoning skills. The Intermediate test consists of 50 questions divided into three sections (verbal, numerical, and abstract) to be completed within 12 minutes. The Advanced test has fewer questions but with increased complexity and more time allocated for each section.
- Standalone Sections: These include Logiks Verbal, Numerical, and Abstract tests, each focusing on a specific cognitive ability. For example, the Logiks Verbal test involves 25 questions to be answered within 36 minutes, while the Logiks Numerical and Abstract tests have varying time limits and question counts.
Personality Tests
- PAPI (Personality and Preference Inventory): This includes two types, PAPI N (normative) and PAPI I (ipsative). PAPI N involves 126 statements to be rated on a scale from 1 to 7, while PAPI I requires candidates to choose the statements that are most and least like them. These tests evaluate work-based preferences and behaviors in areas such as Ideas and Change, Impact and Drive, and more.
