Spatial Reasoning
There are people who may not be so hot with words or numbers, but are good with space. They can see an object in their mind, and manipulate it, turn it round, upside down, or pull it in and out of shape. These people are said to have good spatial awareness, and they often find success in the field of design, illustration, architecture, publishing, technology, electronic engineering and IT. Therefore it is hardly surprising to find employers in these industries using spatial reasoning tests to select applicants for jobs which require 3- dimensional perception.
The interesting thing about these test questions is that people with extremely good spatial awareness 'see' the solution immediately, without having to even think about it. But for most of us, the answers are not so obvious and you might need to make more of an effort to manipulate the shapes in your mind (or even do as I do - physically turn the page round).
In common with other psychometric tests, spatial reasoning tests are strictly timed, and every single question has one, and only one correct answer.
