Updated over 2 weeks ago

Overview

The Core Logical Reasoning Assessment (CLRA) is an innovative cognitive ability assessment designed for organizational use. It supports evidence-based talent decisions by measuring critical thinking, problem-solving, and logical reasoning. The CLRA uses a concise, adaptive testing format that typically takes less than 15 minutes to complete.


Key Features

  • Adaptive Design: Uses advanced psychometric techniques, including the 2-Parameter Logistic model and computer adaptive testing, to ensure precision, fairness, and efficiency.

  • Validity and Reliability: Built on a robust psychometric foundation, validated with a global sample of 4,410 individuals. Results show strong reliability, unidimensional structure, and substantial construct validity, including high correlations with established cognitive ability measures.

  • Fairness: Ongoing analyses confirm no adverse impact or bias across demographic groups.


Continuous Improvement

The CLRA is actively evolving through expanded item pools, comprehensive norming, fairness testing, and validation research. Deeper Signals remains committed to advancing the CLRA’s predictive validity, accuracy, and applicability across diverse organizational contexts. We welcome collaboration with research institutions and enterprises to further strengthen the assessment.
