CORE at a Glance
Hiring the Right People
CORE measures General Mental Ability (GMA) – the ability to think logically, analyze, learn, and solve complex problems.
Over many decades, GMA has proven to be a strong predictor of:
✓ Job performance
✓ Ability to learn new things
✓ Adaptability and problem-solving skills in complex situations
CORE's test tasks consist of logical patterns and figures – completely free of linguistic and cultural content. This ensures a fair assessment regardless of the candidate's language, gender, or cultural background.
