Problem Solving
Abstract reasoning represents the highest level of cognitive problem-solving—the ability to work with novel information and patterns you've never encountered before. Unlike pattern recognition, which involves identifying known patterns, abstract reasoning requires creating new mental models to solve unfamiliar problems.
What Abstract Reasoning Tests Measure
- Identify non-obvious relationships
- Create mental models
- Apply logic to unfamiliar scenarios
- Synthesize information
- Extrapolate patterns
