The SHL General Ability Test (Verify G+) contains 24-30 cognitive questions (depending on the version) and takes 36 minutes to complete. It is SHL’s most popular test used to assess your thinking and problem-solving abilities.
The test contains three topics:
| Numerical Reasoning | 8-10 questions |
| Inductive Reasoning | 8-10 questions |
| Deductive Reasoning | 8-10 questions |
Within the test, the topics of the questions will be mixed.
The SHL General Ability Test has two versions – interactive and multiple choice. To make the most out of your preparation time make sure you practice the correct version, as the two versions differ greatly in their format:

SHL Numerical reasoning questions typically focus on your ability to extract, calculate, and come to conclusions based on numerical data. Here is an example of a numerical question you might see on the SHL Verify G+ test:
What proportion of both sites' April and May traffic was for Cuisine.net?
The correct answer is (E) - 38.1%
To calculate this, we add up the total page views of cuisine.net for April and May and divide this amount by the total hits of both sites for the same period.
Therefore, the calculation would be:
(35+45)/(35+45+70+60), which is 80/210 -> 38.1%
Did you know - there is also an SHL Calculation Test dedicated only to mental calculations.
SHL Inductive questions revolve around finding the logical rules represented in shapes’ color, position, etc. The following is an example of a typical SHL Verify G+ question:
Which diagram would appear next in series?
The correct answer is (A).
The inner shape in one frame becomes the middle shape in the next frame; the middle shape becomes the outer shape in the next frame; and the outer shape becomes the inner shape two frames later.
Thus, the outer shape in the missing frame should be a square (just like the middle shape in the 5th frame), the middle shape should be a triangle (like the inner shape in the 5th frame), and the inner shape should be a diamond (like the outer shape in the 4th frame).
SHL Deductive questions examine your ability to draw logical conclusions out of given information. This will usually be measured by scheduling tasks or ranking items based on constraints. Here is an example of such a question:
In a restaurant's storage room, there are seven kinds of fruits - Figs, Guavas, Honeydews, Kiwis, Mangos, Nectarines and Papayas. The restaurant's chef has to pick exactly four different kinds of fruits out of the seven to make a fruit salad. The selected fruits must meet the following conditions:
Which one of the following could be a complete and accurate list of the fruits from which the salad is made up?
Kiwi, Papaya, Fig, Mango Kiwi, Nectarine, Honeydew, Guava Mango, Nectarine, Fig, Papaya Papaya, Mango, Guava, Honeydew Guava, Papaya, Kiwi, Fig View ExplanationThe Correct answer is (B) - Kiwi, Nectarine, Honeydew, Guava.
In questions asking for a possible complete arrangement according to the rules, go over the answer options and eliminate every response that violates any of the rules presented.
The correct answer is the one that does not violate any of the rules.
Answer (A) - According to the derivatives, Fig can only be selected if Nectarine is selected (~N → ~F). In addition, Mango and Nectarine cannot both be used (M or N). So, a salad containing Mango and Fig is impossible (M → ~F).
Answer (B) - This setting does not violate any of the rules, and therefore this is the correct answer.
Answer (C) - According to the rules, Mango and Nectarine cannot both be selected (M or N).
Answer (D) - According to the rules, Papaya and Honeydew cannot both be selected (P or H).
Answer (E) - According to the rules, Fig can only be selected if Nectarine is selected, so a salad containing Fig but not Nectarine is impossible (~N → ~F).
