1. Description of the test Logical Reasoning measures the capability to reach logical conclusions by means of verbally offered information. The assignments consist of so-called syllogisms: two propositions and one conclusion. Our goal is to judge the validity of the conclusion on the basis of what is claimed in the two propositions. This capacity is important for functions in which it is vital to draw the correct conclusions from limited verbal information.

3. Explanation of the results In addition to the number of correctly and incorrectly answered items, the score is linked back to a number of statistical scales in which the results will be compared with a representative group with a certain level of education. This test has three levels of education as a reference group: intermediate vocational education (MBO), higher vocational education (HBO) and academic education (WO). So the scores should be interpreted as: "in comparison to a representative group of people with an intermediate vocational education level, higher vocational education level or academic education level, candidate X scores....". Sten scores The sten score is a standardized 10-point scale, with an average of 5.5 and with a standard deviation of 2. A sten score should not be confused with a school report mark. A sten score of 5 does not mean an insufficient mark, but it indicates an "average score" that often occurs in the norm group. Percentile scores The percentile score indicates the percentage of of the norm group that has gained an equal or a lower score. A percentile of 25 means that 25% of the reference group has gained an equal or a lower score. In that case (100% - 25% =) 75% has gained a higher score. A percentile of 50 indicates that exactly half of the reference group gained an equal or a lower score. T-scores The T-score is a standardized statistical scale with an average of 50 and a standard deviation of 10. A T-score of 50 indicates the median and it is the same as a percentile score of 50. A T-score of 40 means that the standardized score lies one standard deviation below average, which amounts to a percentile of about approximately 17. A score of 70 means that the standardized score lies two standard deviations above average. This can be compared to a percentile score of 98. Estimation interval Every test score entails a certain amount of inaccuracy. Therefore it is possible that a test score turns out to be either too high or too low in comparison to the real level of the candidate. This inaccuracy is represented in the graph by a red bar situated both to the left and the right of the score. This red bar indicates the area in which the real level of the candidate lies with an probability of 80%. The following rule applies: the shorter the bar, the more accurate the score can be determined. Percentile scores, T-scores and sten scores have the following connection: Sten
