About the Mechanical Reasoning Test

This assessment replicates a potential real-world job situation and evaluates how a candidate manages pressure. It is particularly useful for government roles like technologists, where mechanical reasoning is key in selection. Technical positions often require calculation skills as well. Mechanical reasoning tests are frequently used for jobs in engineering, emergency services, and the military. Topics include pulleys, gears, wheels, springs, forces, electricity, pressure, sound energy, temperature, fluid dynamics, kinetic energy, momentum, material properties, and more.
