What information does the Ability Profiler provide?

Arithmetic Reasoning

The ability to use several math skills and logical thinking to solve problems in everyday
situations. It involves gathering and sorting through all information related to a problem,
making educated guesses about how best to solve the problem, picking a likely way to solve it,
and then explaining your decisions.
● This ability is important in such fields as engineering, construction, finance, sales, mathematics, science, and
technology.

Verbal Ability

The ability to understand the meaning of words and use them effectively for good
communication when you listen, speak, or write.
● This ability is important in such fields as communications, education, law, literary arts, and sales.

Spatial Ability

The ability to form pictures of objects in your mind. It involves easily understanding how
drawings represent real objects and correctly imagining how parts fit together.
● This ability is important in such fields as architecture, carpentry, engineering technology, the visual arts,
interior design, and clothing design.

Computation

The ability to use arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to
solve everyday problems involving numbers.
● This ability is important in such fields as engineering, finance, mathematics, science, and technology.

Clerical Perception

The ability to quickly and accurately see differences in detail in printed material. It involves
noticing if there are mistakes in the text and numbers, or if there are careless errors in
working with math problems. This ability measures "speed of perception" which is required in
many industrial jobs, even when these jobs do not have verbal or numerical content.
● This ability is important in such fields as administration, claims processing, library services, office machine
operation, packaging, and word processing.

Form Perception

The ability to quickly and accurately see details in objects, pictures, or drawings. It involves
noticing little differences in shapes of figures, shadings, and lengths and widths of lines.
● This ability is important in such fields as craft arts, craft technology, jewelry making, production technology,
production work, and quality control.

What is your Ability Profile?

Raw Score Weighted % Percentile Rank

Arithmetic Reasoning 4/18 4.4% 1st

Verbal Ability 14/19 14.8% 46th

Spatial Ability 11/20 11% 27th

Computation 14/40 7% 15th

Clerical Perception 57/90 6.3% 20th

Form Perception 24/42 5.7% 38th

OVERALL WEIGHTED AVERAGE SCORE:

49.2 which places the candidate in

the 9th Percentile Rank

Interpretation of the Result:

The candidate may experience difficulties in assimilating new and complex

information but can perform explicit routinary functions without supervision
as long as there are no moments of choice. He/She would benefit from
additional training.

Percentile Rank - a simple definition

Percentile Rank is the positional value of the candidate’s score as compared against the Norming Population.
Scores are normally distributed. It is perhaps best understood by an example. You are said to be at the 9th percentile
if your score (or results) are better than 9 percent of the population against which you are being compared.
Essentially, Percentile Rank gives the overall raw score its meaning.
