  • Emphasize the need for critical thinking in the workplace for high-stakes roles like police officers and airplane pilots.
  • Measure deductive reasoning skills of lawyers, insurance analysts, and IT professionals.
  • Professional development for current and future leaders.
  • Measure student potential and work readiness.
  • Scores are based on our “RED” critical thinking model: Recognize Assumptions, Evaluate Arguments, Draw Conclusions.

Features

The new edition of the Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal includes the following features:

  • Item-banked format enables unsupervised (unproctored) screening of job applicants, increases item security, and protects test validity.
  • Randomly-selected questions, making it unlikely that two individuals receive the same test.
  • New timed version promotes a consistent candidate experience.
  • Improved profile report shows standardized scores and more detailed description of subtest performance.
  • New bank of business-relevant questions suitable for international use; and new platform functionality to add a custom norm, delay test administration, or combine Watson-Glaser with other ability tests.
  • Scores are available in a profile report (see overall and subtest performance, can-do statements, and standardized scores) and development report (build a custom learning and development plan to enhance an individual's skills).
