SHL Verify Technical Checking Assessment Fact Sheet

Overview The Technical Checking assessment is part of the SHL VerifyTM

suite of cognitive ability assessments. Technical Checking measures perceptual speed and accuracy. This assessment requires examinees to quickly and accurately match symbols and switches based on a given set of rules. The Technical Checking assessment is mostly non-verbal and features shapes and figures. As with all assessments included in the SHL Verify

TM suite, the Technical Checking assessment allows organizations to assess

this aspect of cognitive ability in an unproctored setting. This assessment is appropriate for all job levels and job titles, but is especially relevant for jobs that require the ability to quickly assess the accuracy of information against a set of rules. Sample relevant jobs include:

Sample Question

The answer to this question is Option C.

If the circle is in slot 1 in the question, the switch should be pointing down, so option A is out. With the

Hexagon in slot 2, the switch should be pointing up and right, so all of B, C and D remain possible.

Square in slot 3 means the switch should be down, so B is no longer possible – only C and D. With the

Circle in slot 4, the switch should be up, so D is no longer feasible. This leaves option C.
