Who is the CRTB2 for?
The VCR2 and NCR2 have been developed for potential high calibre staff of
graduate ability or above. Appropriate for graduate recruitment and senior
management assessment, these tests can be used to identify management potential
and for further training and development needs. In addition, they are ideal
for assessing those of graduate ability or equivalent to ensure that they
have the required level of verbal and numerical ability.
New self-scoring answer-sheets
The VCR2 and NCR2 are now supplied with self-scoring answer-sheets and therefore
unlike the VCR1 and NCR1 do not require any additional software for scoring
or interpretation. The scoring mechanism has been carefully designed to ensure
ease of use and minimise scoring errors. In addition, the VCR2 now incorportates
an innovative correction for guessing. This obviates the problem that, due
to the three-point response scale that is used in most verbal critical reasoning
tests, it is possible for respondents to get 33% of the items correct simply
by guessing. Simple to apply, the correction takes into account the number
of items that the respondent is likely to have guessed, and adjusts the raw
score accordingly.
Advantages
Quicker than most other critical reasoning tests to complete, the Critical
Test Battery can be administered on-screen, on-line or in pencil-and-paper
format in 40 minutes plus administration time. Providing the ultimate flexibility
of manual or computerised scoring and norming, the GeneSys system offers the
option of immediate reporting against published or in-house norms. Consisting
of tasks which are much closer to typical management functions than most traditional
reasoning test items, the VCR2 and NCR2 are ideal for selecting and developing
high calibre managerial and technical staff.
Verbal Critical Reasoning (VCR2) This test directly assesses
the ability to understand semi-technical reports and accurately draw logical
conclusions and inferences from such written information. Consequently, it
forms a key assessment device for all managerial and professional jobs which
require quick and reliable interpretation of written reports and appropriate
decision making.
Numerical Critical Reasoning (NCR2) This test directly measures the
ability to understand and critically evaluate a wide range of numerical information
presented in tabular form, and accurately use this information in a logical
way. Consequently, it forms a key assessment device for all managerial and
technical positions which require a detailed understanding of financial, numerical
and statistical data.
Reports for CRTB2
Decision-maker and candidate feedback reports are provided for CRTB2.
Profiles in decision-maker reports present raw score, number of items attempted,
sten and percentile ranks against a choice of normative samples.
