Ravens Advanced Progressive Matrices lll Report
TalentLens · 40 mins · Psychometric Testing
Raven's APM-III is a timed, non-verbal reasoning test where the questions get harder as you go. It uses patterns rather than words, so language skills have less effect on the score, and the report compares the candidate with a chosen norm group.
What it measures
Non-verbal abstract reasoning (fluid intelligence): forming new concepts from unfamiliar information, making sense of confusion or ambiguity, and thinking clearly about complex situations.
Who it is for
Selection for graduate, supervisory, managerial and executive roles that call for clear thinking about complex, unfamiliar problems.
What you get
- Short Profile Report (3 pages in the sample)
- Percentile score against the selected norm group
- Interpretation of what the score means for likely behavior at work

What it changes
