Example questions in the style of this publisher's assessments.
GIA Reasoning: If all Bloops are Razzies and all Razzies are Lazzies, are all Bloops definitely Lazzies? (A) Yes (B) No (C) Cannot determine
If Bloops ⊆ Razzies and Razzies ⊆ Lazzies, then Bloops ⊆ Lazzies. Answer: Yes. GIA reasoning tests syllogistic logic. Practice these patterns.
GIA Number Speed: 47 + 38 = ? (A) 75 (B) 85 (C) 95 (D) 105
Answer: 85. GIA number speed tests basic arithmetic at high speed. Practice mental addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
GIA is extremely fast, 20 minutes for 5 sub-tests. The perceptual speed sub-test is particularly challenging.
DISC has no right or wrong answers. Answer based on your natural work style, not your ideal self.
The GIA perceptual speed test involves identifying matching symbols quickly. Practice visual scanning exercises.
Thomas International tests are common in UK SMEs and mid-market companies.
The General Intelligence Assessment (GIA) measures mental processing speed across 5 sub-tests: Reasoning (syllogisms), Perceptual Speed (symbol matching), Number Speed (arithmetic), Spatial Visualisation (3D rotation), and Word Meaning (vocabulary). Each sub-test is 4 minutes.
DISC measures work style preferences across 4 dimensions: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Compliance. Thomas's version is called the Personal Profile Analysis (PPA). There are no right or wrong DISC profiles.
