Analytical Reasoning

How well can you scrutinize a situation in order to break it down and solve the associated problems? Are you able to take
a complicated issue and identify what is important and what information should be ignored? Analytical reasoning skills are
important in both our personal and professional lives, as they are an essential part of solving the problems we encounter in
our everyday life.
Analytical reasoning refers to the ability to look at information, be it qualitative or quantitative in nature, and discern
patterns within the information. Analytical reasoning involves deductive reasoning with no specialized knowledge, such as:
comprehending the basic structure of a set of relationships; recognizing logically equivalent statements; and inferring what
could be true or must be true from given facts and rules.

Analytical reasoning comes from the ability of an individual to analyze a situation, think in a step by step method to
evaluate the alternatives, eliminating the ones that don’t fit the case, and finding a solution that best matches the problem
at hand. A person gifted in analytical reasoning would be able to look through the problem, break it down to smaller
problems and think in a multi-dimensional way. Another fundamental component of analytical reasoning is the ability to
break down information at hand and find a pattern or trait in such information. Analytical reasoning capabilities of an
individual are considered for the purpose of job interviews to select the right candidate for a position, in admission tests
to educational programs and as well as for testing the general aptitude of a person in a wide variety of situations.

There is a misconception that analytical reasoning is something that one is born with. It is incorrect. Analytical reasoning
can be taught and it needs to be practiced on a continuing basis for one to get better at it. Analytical reasoning is best
practiced outside the classroom in real life situations but classroom tests revolving around set problems can give an
individual a theoretical inception.

Visual Reasoning

Visual reasoning is the process of analyzing visual information and being able to solve problems based upon it. A person's
visual reasoning abilities are related to overall intelligence. It is a component of nonverbal intelligence, meaning that a
person does not have to use language in order to solve visual problems.
Tests that measure Intelligence Quotient (IQ) nearly always contain questions that require this type of reasoning. These
questions may require the test taker to identify and manipulate visual patterns. They may show a set of shapes and ask the
test taker to identify what shapes should come next in the pattern. Another type of question might show a two-dimensional
representation of a three-dimensional object and ask the person to identify what the object might look like from another
angle. Answering this question requires both visual and spacial reasoning skills.

Visual reasoning skills are key in many real-life contexts as well. For instance, interpreting information found in charts and
graphs usually requires a combination of verbal, mathematical and visual analysis. The person looking at the chart must
identify what type of information is being shown — usually by reading the title and labels — and then analyze the
information using mathematical and visual skills.

Reading a map requires understanding the relationship of visual information to its real-world context. Visual reasoning
abilities also help students learn new concepts in math, physics and other skills.

A number of career paths require a high level of visual reasoning. Many jobs in architecture, engineering and design involve
working with computer models of three-dimensional objects, which the user must be able to manipulate in his or
her mind as well as on the computer screen. Having a good visual memory as well as reasoning abilities helps professionals
in these fields recall and process various types of design models.

A person can improve his or her visual reasoning skills through various means. Simply paying attention to visual
information and making a conscious effort to interpret it can help a person learn to reason more easily. People who have
very strong verbal abilities may also find it helpful to talk through visual pattern problems, such as those found in IQ tests.

Critical Reasoning

The ability to reason logically is a fundamental skill of rational agents; hence the study of the form of correct
argumentation is relevant to the study of critical thinking.

"First wave" logical thinking consisted of understanding the connections between two concepts or points in
thought. It followed a philosophy where the thinker was removed from the train of thought and the connections
and the analysis of the connect was devoid of any bias of the thinker. Kerry Walters describes this ideology in
his essay Beyond Logicism in Critical Thinking, "A logistic approach to critical thinking conveys the message to
students that thinking is legitimate only when it conforms to the procedures of informal (and, to a lesser extent,
formal) logic and that the good thinker necessarily aims for styles of examination and appraisal that are
analytical, abstract, universal, and objective. This model of thinking has become so entrenched in conventional
academic wisdom that many educators accept it as canon". The adoption of these principals parallels
themselves with the increasing reliance on a quantitative understanding of the world.

A logistic approach to critical thinking conveys the message to students that thinking is legitimate only when it
conforms to the procedures of informal (and, to a lesser extent, formal) logic and that the good thinker necessarily
aims for styles of examination and appraisal that are analytical, abstract, universal, and objective. As the ‘second
wave’ took hold, scholars began to take a more inclusive view of what constituted as critical thinking. Rationality
and logic are still widely accepted in many circles as the primary examples of critical thinking.

The list of core critical thinking skills includes observation, interpretation, analysis, inference, evaluation,
explanation, and metacognition.

Financial Intelligence

Financial intelligence is a type of business intelligence constituted of the knowledge and skills gained from
understanding finance and accounting principles in the business world. Although a fairly new term, financial intelligence
has its roots in organizational development research, mostly in the field of employee participation. Financial intelligence
has emerged as a best practice and core competency in many organizations leading to improved financial results, increased
employee morale, and reduced employee turnover. Many organizations include financial intelligence programs in their
leadership development curriculum. Financial intelligence is not an innate skill; rather it is a learned set of skills that can
be developed at all levels.

Areas of understanding
The four areas of understanding that make up financial intelligence are:
Understanding the foundation. Financial intelligence requires an understanding of the basics of financial measurement
including the income statement, the balance sheet, and the cash flow statement. It also requires knowing the difference
between cash and profit and why a balance sheet balances.
Understanding the art. Finance and accounting are an art as well as a science. The two disciplines must try to quantify what
can't always be quantified, and so must rely on rules, estimates, and assumptions. Financial intelligence ensures people are
able
to identify where the artful aspects of finance have been applied to the numbers, and know how applying them differently
might lead to different conclusions.
Understanding analysis. Financial intelligence includes the ability to analyze the numbers in greater depth. This includes
being able to calculate profitability, leverage, liquidity and efficiency ratios and understanding the meaning of the results.
Conducting ROI analysis and interpreting the results are also part of financial intelligence.
Understanding the big picture. Financial intelligence also means being able to understand a business's financial results in
context - that is, within the framework of the big picture. Factors such as the economy, the competitive environment,
regulations and changing customer needs and expectations as well as new technologies all affect how the numbers are
interpreted.

Service Orientation

Service orientation is the ability and desire to anticipate, recognize and meet others’ needs, sometimes even before those
needs are articulated. Service oriented people focus on providing satisfaction and making themselves available to others.

Developing Service Orientation

1. Think of your current customers. This could be your company’s direct customers, partners, or ‘internal’ customers,
such as other groups within the company (for example, if you are in a support function in Finance or IT functions)
2. Focus on improving the level of service you provide. Identify your customers’ pain points (have they had a
complaint to you in the past?), their needs and concerns. Find out what makes them successful and find ways to
help them achieve that. Set a clear and measureable set of goals, which will help you benchmark yourself against
on a regular basis
3. Revisit the list you have created and modify it as your get more feedback or as your customers’ need evolve

People who work in these careers are good at service orientation which means actively looking for ways to help
People:

 Educational, Guidance, School and Vocational Counselors

 Hospitalists
 Reservation and Transportation Ticket Agents and Travel Clerks
 Sales Managers
 Family and General Practitioners
 Travel Agents
 Child, Family and Social Workers
 Mental Health Counselors
 Physician Assistants
 Executive Secretaries and Executive Administrative Assistants etc.

Data Analysis

Data Analysis is a process of inspecting, cleansing, transforming, and modeling data with the goal of discovering useful
information, informing conclusions, and supporting decision-making. Data analysis has multiple facets and approaches,
encompassing diverse techniques under a variety of names, while being used in different business, science, and social
science domains. In today's business, data analysis is playing a role in making decisions more scientific and helping the
business achieve effective operation.
Data mining is a particular data analysis technique that focuses on modeling and knowledge discovery for predictive rather
than purely descriptive purposes, while business intelligence covers data analysis that relies heavily on aggregation,
focusing mainly on business information. In statistical applications, data analysis can be divided into descriptive
statistics, exploratory data analysis (EDA), and confirmatory data analysis (CDA). EDA focuses on discovering new
features in the data while CDA focuses on confirming or falsifying existing hypotheses. Predictive analytics focuses on
application of statistical models for predictive forecasting or classification, while text analytics applies statistical, linguistic,
and structural techniques to extract and classify information from textual sources, a species of unstructured data. All of the
above are varieties of data analysis.
Data integration is a precursor to data analysis, and data analysis is closely linked to data visualization and data
dissemination. The term data analysis is sometimes used as a synonym for data modeling.
The Process of Data Analysis
Analysis refers to breaking a whole into its separate components for individual examination. Data analysis is a process for
obtaining raw data and converting it into information useful for decision-making by users. Data are collected and analyzed
to answer questions, test hypotheses or disprove theories.
Statistician John Tukey defined data analysis in 1961 as: "Procedures for analyzing data, techniques for interpreting the
results of such procedures, ways of planning the gathering of data to make its analysis easier, more precise or more accurate,
and all the machinery and results of (mathematical) statistics which apply to analyzing data."
There are several phases that can be distinguished, described below. The phases are iterative, in that feedback from later
phases may result in additional work in earlier phases.

Lateral Thinking

What Is Lateral Thinking?

With logic you start out with certain ingredients just as in playing chess you start out with given pieces. But what are those
pieces? In most real life situations the pieces are not given, we just assume they are there. We assume certain perceptions,
certain concepts and certain boundaries. Lateral thinking is concerned not with playing with the existing pieces but with
seeking to change those very pieces. Lateral thinking is concerned with the perception part of thinking. This is where we
organize the external world into the pieces we can then 'process'.

A healthy human brain does not want to always be creative; it is designed to figure out how to do things or how to think
about things and then 'locks' that automatic response or behavior into a subconscious process so that your conscious brain
can focus on other matters.

If you haven't heard of Edward de Bono or of Lateral Thinking, perhaps you have been too busy thinking in conventional
ways.

This is why Dr. de Bono developed the Lateral thinking techniques to help overcome our natural proclivity to get 'locked'
into patterns and allow you to be creative on demand. These techniques can be used by individuals and groups are used in
most Fortune 500 companies as a way to develop creative and innovative ideas.

What Are Lateral Thinking Techniques?

Lateral Thinking is a set of processes that provides a deliberate, systematic way of thinking creatively those results in
innovative thinking in a repeatable manner. While critical thinking is primarily concerned with judging the true value of
statements and seeking errors. Lateral thinking is more concerned with the "movement value" of statements and ideas.

Situational Judgment

What is a situational Judgment test?

A situational judgment test, also known as an SJT, includes a series of scenarios that you might encounter in the workplace
and asks you questions to gage how you’ll respond.

Each company will value different competencies which they’ll be explicating looking to tests.

What is the situational judgment test format?

Whilst Situational Judgment Tests vary in form, usually, you will be presented with a number of descriptions to which you
are obliged to provide an appropriate response from a multiple choice list. So, try to be as sensible as you can and use the
full capacity of your emotional intelligence.

The good news is that in some of the industries, employers are relying on relatively stable competencies that have been
sought after for years. Communication skills, commercial awareness, building relationships and team working are just a
few of them.

How to pass situational judgment tests?

First and foremost do your research. There are many competencies you can expect to be tested, but they’ll likely be specific
to the employer and the role so do your research beforehand. Find out what they’re looking for as their SJT’s should reflect
this.

While choosing your answers, it’s good to make use of your sensibility and emotional intelligence, however, this not always
might be enough. This quite straightforward and simplistic formula of these tests can be misleading. Candidates usually
complain that they stumble upon really similar answers or tricky questions. In order to know how to successfully navigate
through those traps, practice some SJT’s first.

Diagnostic Reasoning

What Is Diagnostic Reasoning?

Imagine being a teacher in a new classroom. You begin teaching a lesson only to be met with stares of confusion from your
students. When you ask the students if they understand what you are teaching, they reply that they have no idea what you're
talking about. Now imagine teaching that same class after conducting a pretest to determine what the students already know
about the topic. Which scenario sounds preferable? Which would result in a better experience for both the teacher and the
students?
Diagnostic assessment is a form of pre-assessment that allows a teacher to determine students' individual strengths,
weaknesses, knowledge, and skills prior to instruction. It is primarily used to diagnose student difficulties and to guide
lesson and curriculum planning.
In classrooms where assessment for learning is practiced, students are encouraged to be more active in their learning and
associated assessment. The ultimate purpose of assessment for learning is to create self-regulated learners who can leave
school able and confident to continue learning throughout their lives. Teachers need to know at the outset of a unit of study
where their students are in terms of their learning and then continually check on how they are progressing through
strengthening the feedback they get from their learners. Students are guided on what they are expected to learn and what
quality work looks like. The teacher will work with the student to understand and identify any gaps or misconceptions
(initial/diagnostic assessment). As the unit progresses, the teacher and student work together to assess the student's
knowledge, what she or he needs to learn to improve and extend this knowledge, and how the student can best get to that
point (formative assessment).

3-D Reasoning

or spatial reasoning is a category of reasoning skills that refers to the capacity to think about objects in three dimensions
and to draw conclusions about those objects from limited information. Someone with good spatial abilities might also
be good at thinking about how an object will look when rotated. These skills are valuable in many real-world situations
and can be improved with practice.
Visual-spatial abilities are used for everyday use from navigation, understanding or fixing equipment, understanding or
estimating distance and measurement, and performing on a job. Spatial abilities are also important for success in fields
such as sports, technical aptitude, mathematics, natural sciences, engineering, economic
forecasting, meteorology, chemistry and physics. Not only do spatial abilities involve understanding the outside world,
but they also involve processing outside information and reasoning with it through visual representation in the mind.

Vocational applications
Researchers have found that 3D or spatial ability plays an important role in advanced educational credentials in the science,
technology, engineering or math (STEM). From studies, it has been indicated that the probability of getting an advanced
degree in STEM increases in positive relation to the level of one's spatial ability. For example, a 2009 study published in
the Journal of Educational Psychology found that 45% of those with STEM PhDs were within top percentage of high spatial
ability in a group of 400,000 participants who were analyzed for 11 years since they were in the 12th grade. Only less than
10% of those with STEM PhDs were below the top quarter in spatial ability during adolescence. The researchers then
concluded how important spatial ability is for STEM and as a factor in achieving advanced educational success in that field.

Inferential Reasoning

The process by which a conclusion is inferred from multiple observations is called inductive reasoning. The conclusion
may be correct or incorrect, or correct to within a certain degree of accuracy, or correct in certain situations. Conclusions
inferred from multiple observations may be tested by additional observations.
Two possible definitions of "inference" are:

1. A conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning.

2. The process of reaching such a conclusion.
According to Statistical Reasoning, Thinking and Literacy forum, three essential principles to informal inference are:

1. Generalizations (including predictions, parameter estimates, and conclusions) that go beyond describing the given data.
2. The use of data as evidence for those generalizations; and
3. Conclusions that express a degree of uncertainty, whether or not quantified, accounting for the variability or
uncertainty that is unavoidable when generalizing beyond the immediate data to a population or a process.

12| P a g e
Quantitative Ability

Quantitative ability is the ability to solve mathematical and numerical calculations. Quantitative ability includes graph
analysis, arithmetic reasoning, and table and percentage analysis.

What is Quantitative aptitude?

The quantitative aptitude test measures the numerical ability and accuracy in mathematical calculations. The questions
range from purely numeric calculations to problems of arithmetic reasoning, graph and table reading, percentage analysis,
categorization and quantitative analysis. The quantitative aptitude test measures the numerical ability and accuracy in
mathematical calculations. The questions range from purely numeric calculations to problems of arithmetic reasoning, graph
and table reading, percentage analysis, categorization and quantitative analysis.

People with strong Quantitative skills generally excel in the field of Finance, Statistics, Economics etc.

of components:
 Language proficiency
 Oral communication
 Verbal communication
 Verbal memory
 Verbal reasoning
 Writing skills
 Written communication
These aspects are assessed using a variety of verbal tests.

PRACTICE QUESTIONS IN READING COMPREHENSION (15)

PASSAGE 1

In the mid-fifties when GE was expanding its operations across the globe, the president of GE, Ralph
Cordiner decided to set up a corporate university an hour away from New York spread over 59 acres.
In 1956 GE offered its first course that spread over 13 weeks. Today no executive can imagine
spending a full quarter of the year sitting in a classroom. While the courses that are offered at
Crotonville have become shorter, the efficacy of the investment remains unquestionable. The
headhunters refer to GE as a leadership factory.

GE is not alone. McDonalds set up its Hamburger University in 1961. When Steve Jobs hired Joe
Podolny, the then dean of Yale to start Apple University in 2008 it made a big splash. Apple
University drew faculty members including professors from universities like Yale, Harvard, Berkeley,
Stanford and MIT.

The trend of corporate universities is on the rise. The companies have a large employee base that
ranges from 8,000 to 300,000 employees or more. They cut across sectors and businesses from
automobiles to pharma and everything else in between. General Motors Institute, Caterpillar,
Unilever, GDF Suez, Veolia, Axa, Sanofi, Novartis, Petronas, and many more.

In 1993, corporate universities existed in only 400 companies. By 2001, this number had increased to
2,000, including Walt Disney, Boeing, and Motorola. According to BCG, there are estimated to be
more than 4,000 companies with formal corporate universities.

Scale: McDonalds serves 68 million customers daily in 119 countries across 35,000 outlets. This
complexity requires training. That ensures that McDonalds burgers taste the same from Mumbai to
Moscow.

Complexity: When surgeons move to the operating theater they rely on checklists. These lists
reduce human error, and help the surgeon to operate with speed without having to stop and double
check if they are missing any step. In performing complex tasks through collaborating teams, speed
comes through training in standard processes and procedures. Apple University teaches employees
that they’re at the company to be the very best at one specific task.

Corporate Governance: Governance needs the ability to manage reporting relationships, finances,
and facilities. Compliance and risk management demand investments in training. On any given day
two billion people use Unilever products across countries that have different rules and regulations.
This scale and complexity demands constant investment to ensure standards are not compromised.

Education: Entry-level hires are drawn from a wide variety of educational backgrounds. There is a
need to bring people to a common minimum level of knowledge and skills. From technical skills or
domain knowledge or personal competencies, people need to keep upgrading.

Values and Culture: The leaders need to be role models of the values the company proclaims. When
the majority of employee responses to everyday situations become uniform, it forms the culture of the
organization. Tying the professional development to strategic challenges is a strong reason to invest
in training.
The culture of the organization has to support its vision and strategy. This needs a place when people
can come together and connect with others and learn. Technical training can be delivered through e-
learning modules. It is the intangibles like culture that people need to learn from role models.

56. What does Apple University teach the employees of Apple?

a. That they need to have superior communication skills.

b. That since they work at one of the biggest brands of the world, they cannot afford to make an error.
c. That they need to master every skill.
d. That they need to be the very best in the work they do.

57. What, according to the author, do you think is the main challenge of increasing scale?

a. The main challenge is to engage an increasing number of employees for handling the scaled up
operations.
b. The main challenge is to break down the complex operation into simple steps.
c. The main challenge is to train the employees involved in the large scale operations.
d. The main challenge is to maintain a consistency of output quality.

PASSAGE 2

Emanating from the Indian kitchens every morning are the appetizing aromas of crushed spices,
lentils, curry leaves and vegetables and working with her deft fingers and loving heart is the woman of
the house creating ‘the great Indian home cooked meal’.

This is where the ‘dabbawallas’ sensed a business opportunity way back in 1980 – the idea of
delivering home cooked meals to office-goers and their workplace and returning empty meal boxes to
their homes before their return in the evening.

Today ‘dabbawallas’ have become integral part of Mumbai’s cultural mosaic. About 5000 of these
delivery men crisscross the streets, lanes and by lanes of Mumbai, on foot, bicycle and local train,
every morning to deliver about 2,00,000 home cooked meal boxes to office goers at their workplaces.
What amazes business strategists across the world is the unique process of near faultless delivery,
which even convinced Forbes magazine to give them the highly-prized Sigma Six Rating for quality
assurance, a feat achieved by companies such as Motorola and General Electrics.

“The success of the system depends on teamwork and time management that would be the envy of
every modern manager. Such is the dedication and commitment of the barely literate and barefoot
delivery men who form links in the extensive delivery chain, that there is no system of documentation
at all.”

They do not rely on any high technology data bases or computers for communication. Instead they
use colours and code markings for identification. “Each container carries an indelible ink
alphanumeric coding of some ten characters signifying the various transfer and delivery stages, as
well as the individuals who are to be involved in the process.”

One of the major reason for the success of this delivery service is the high-level of personal
involvement, relationship orientation and continuous communication with their clients and amongst
themselves.
Memorizing about 35 addresses from where they must pick up the boxes it becomes critical for the
dabbawalla to keep the flow of information continuous as any miscommunication might result in the
unpardonable error of serving a non-vegetarian meal to a pure vegetarian, an act blasphemous
enough to wash away all the good deeds of the person in a single stroke.

66. According to the passage, which qualities of the dabbawallas of Mumbai would make even a
modern manager envy?

a. Teamwork and time management

b. Dedication and commitment
c. Six sigma rating
d. Faultless delivery system
67. According to the passage, what is the major reason for success of dabbawallas in Mumbai?

a. Six sigma rating by Forbes

b. High level of personal involvement and communication with the clients
c. Ability to memorize 3 addresses
d. Taste of the home-cooked food

68. Choose the word which is most nearly the same in meaning as the word “indelible” as used in the
passage.

a. Memorable
b. Stirring
c. Inerasable
d. Lasting

69. Which of the following is false according to the passage.

a. Dabbawallas are integral part of Mumbai’s culture.

b. Dabbawallas rely on high technology data bases and codes for communication.
c. Most of the 5000 workers are illiterate.
d. None of these

70. Which of the following is possibly the most appropriate title for the passage?
