What Is the SHL Test?
The SHL test is a pre-employment screening tool that helps employers assess the competency of potential job candidates. This test measures candidates' proficiency in areas such as numerical reasoning, situational judgment, and deductive reasoning, along with other pertinent skills.
The most popular SHL tests are the Verify General Ability (G+), the SHL Numerical Reasoning, the SHL Verbal Reasoning, the SHL Deductive Reasoning, and the SHL Inductive Reasoning.
Other SHL Assessments include the SHL Calculation Test, SHL Checking Test, SHL Mechanical Comprehension Test, and SHL Aspiring Minds (AMCAT).
Other SHL tests you may be asked to take are the SHL Personality Questionnaire (OPQ32), Home Depot Assessment, and the SHL SJT.
In most cases, you would be requested to complete the test on TalentCentral, an online platform for administrating the SHL tests.
Below is a list of the most common SHL tests.
SHL General Ability (Verify G+)
The SHL General Ability Test, also called Verify G+, integrates 3 SHL assessments: the SHL numerical, deductive, and inductive reasoning tests.
The SHL General Ability test has 2 versions:
- Interactive – 24 interactive questions to address in 36 minutes.
- Non-interactive – 30 multiple-choice questions to address in 36 minutes.
SHL Numerical Reasoning
The SHL Numerical Reasoning Test features different mathematical problems, typically presented in tables and graphs. Your task is to locate the relevant data, perform calculations, and provide answers accordingly.
The SHL Numerical Reasoning test has 2 versions:
- Interactive – 10 interactive questions to address in 18 minutes
- Non-interactive – 16 multiple-choice questions to address in 20 minutes
The SHL Numerical Test is not to be confused with the SHL Calculation Test, which is an assessment of your mental arithmetic skills.
Take a look at a non-interactive SHL Numerical Reasoning practice question:
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%
SHL Verbal Reasoning
The SHL Verbal Reasoning Test features reading comprehension questions. Your task is to read a text, analyze it, and draw conclusions.
The SHL Verbal Reasoning test has only a non-interactive version, with 30 multiple-choice questions to address in 19 minutes.

Read the text below and answer the question below:
In the past few years, the government has turned to shock tactics to fight the battle against smoking and the burden smokers pose to the country's economy—manifested in sick days and health issues. The latest anti-smoking campaign showed tumors growing from a cigarette. Needless to say, this advert was contentious. On the one hand, the advert has become a viral sensation since its launch and has attracted plenty of attention to the subject. The government estimates that approximately 300,000 people will attempt to quit smoking because of the campaign. On the other hand, some argue that using a hard-hitting approach is not the best way because people become very afraid. If someone thinks they might have cancer or a symptom of cancer, they're likely to push it out of their mind. Health experts claim the new campaign is not effective in targeting all smokers and recommend using it alongside other measures.
The advertisement is not effective because it scares people.
The answer is Cannot Say.
The passage presents two opposite approaches of pros and cons to the anti-smoking campaign. The opinions presented are not addressed as absolute truths; therefore, it cannot be determined whether the advertisement is effective. The passage states: ‘Some argue that using a hard-hitting approach is not the best way because people become very afraid'. The opinion of 'some' cannot be used as a generalization. Thus, you Cannot Say whether the argument is True or False.
SHL Inductive Reasoning
The SHL Inductive Reasoning Test features a series of abstract shapes. Your task is to identify the ruling pattern.
The SHL Inductive Reasoning test has 2 versions:
- Interactive – 15 interactive questions to address in 18 minutes
- Non-interactive – 18 multiple-choice questions to address in 24 minutes
Take a look at a non-interactive SHL Inductive Reasoning practice 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 Reasoning Test
The SHL Deductive Reasoning Test features a set of conditions or rules that establish relationships between different elements. Your task is to analyze the conditions and identify the governing rule.
SHL Deductive Reasoning test has 2 versions:
- Interactive – 12 interactive questions to address in 18 minutes
- Non-interactive – 18 multiple-choice questions to address in 20 minutes
Take a look at a non-interactive SHL Deductive Reasoning practice question:
Read the following section and arrive at the right conclusion:
In a restaurant's pantry, 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:
- Papaya can be selected only if Kiwi is selected.
- Fig can be selected only if Nectarine is selected.
- Either Mango or Nectarine must be selected but not both.
- Either Papaya or Honeydew must be selected but not both.
Which one of the following could be a complete and accurate list of the fruits from which the salad is made up?
The 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).
In the preparation pack found on this page, you'll get practice tests for both the interactive and non-interactive versions of the SHL deductive reasoning test with a guide to help you answer these types of questions in the right fashion, as well as all other SHL tests. Practice with hundreds of SHL-style questions!

SHL OPQ32
The SHL Occupational Personality Questionnaire, known as the OPQ32, is one of the most popular pre-employment personality tests used by top employers such as Barclays. It is often taken together with cognitive ability SHL tests.
Unlike other SHL tests, such as Inductive and numerical reasoning, in the OPQ32 test, there aren't technically right or wrong answers. Instead, your responses are combined into a personality profile. This is why it is essential to answer these questions accurately, both from your personal perspective and the employer’s.
The test features a set of statements regarding behavioral tendencies. Your task is to indicate in each set which statement Most and Least describes you.
The SHL OPQ32 test has several versions; the most common one has 104 questions.
