Sample Questions

Example questions in the style of this publisher's assessments.

Verbale Relaties

Verbale Relaties: ARTS is aan ZIEKENHUIS als RECHTER is aan: (A) Gevangenis (B) Rechtbank (C) Wet (D) Advocaat

Een arts werkt in een ziekenhuis. Een rechter werkt in een rechtbank. Zoek de werkplek-relatie.

Abstracte Matrix

Abstracte Matrix: [Rij 1: ▲ groot, ▲ klein, ▲ groot] [Rij 2: ■ groot, ■ klein, ■ groot] [Rij 3: ● groot, ● klein, ?]

Het patroon is groot-klein-groot. Het antwoord is ● groot. Zoek altijd naar meerdere veranderende eigenschappen tegelijk.

Syllogismen

Syllogisme: Alle managers zijn verantwoordelijk. Sommige teamleiders zijn managers. Conclusie: Sommige teamleiders zijn verantwoordelijk. (A) Waar (B) Onwaar (C) Onzeker

Correct: Waar. 'Sommige' teamleiders zijn managers, dus 'sommige' zijn ook verantwoordelijk. Let op: 'alle' vs 'sommige'.

Expert Preparation Tips

1

LTP tests use Dutch norm groups. Your score is compared to Dutch candidates at your level (MBO, HBO, WO). Practice with Dutch-language test materials.

2

LTP Syllogismen are classic logical deduction tests. The key is distinguishing 'Alle' (all), 'Sommige' (some), and 'Geen' (none) precisely.

3

LTP ChatLab is unique. An AI avatar presents work scenarios and you respond verbally or by typing. Psychologists review your responses. Be professional and structured.

4

For Rijksoverheid recruitment, the LTP tests are often at HBO/WO level. Practice with the hardest available materials.

5

LTP Verbale Relaties tests word analogies in Dutch. Practice with Dutch vocabulary and word relationship exercises.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is LTP ChatLab and how is it different from other assessments?

LTP ChatLab uses AI avatars that present realistic work scenarios. You interact with the avatar as you would with a real colleague or customer. The interaction is recorded and scored by trained psychologists (not just an algorithm), providing a more nuanced assessment of communication skills, problem-solving, and professional judgment.

Are LTP tests only in Dutch?

LTP's primary market is the Netherlands and their tests are primarily in Dutch with Dutch norm groups. Some international clients use English versions, but for Dutch government and public sector roles, tests are always in Dutch.

What level are LTP tests calibrated for?

LTP offers tests calibrated for MBO, HBO, and WO (university) levels. The difficulty and norm groups differ significantly between levels. Always check which level the employer specifies. Taking a WO-level test when you're applying for an MBO role (or vice versa) will affect your score significantly.
