GITP developed the Connector Ability itself and mostly uses it as a pre-selection: an online intelligence test that measures your general reasoning level. The test has three sections, figure series, matrices and number series, and sometimes you also get the Connector Verbal Analogies, a separate test of 10 to 20 minutes. Count on about an hour for the Connector Ability itself, and set aside an hour and a half so you are not pressed for time. The test is available in English as well as Dutch. Below you practise every section, with an explanation for each question.
For each section you first get instructions and a few example questions, and there is no clock on those: take as long as you like. Do use that room, it is the only moment you can study the question format calmly. Then the real questions start, and you have a limited number of minutes per question. Because the test is adaptive, how many questions you get depends on your answers: the program keeps serving questions until it can estimate your level reliably. So no two candidates ever see the same test.
A blank answer counts as wrong, and a wrong answer is not penalised. When the time for a question is almost up, pick the answer that seems most likely. Waiting for the clock to run out gains you nothing.
The test only works on a laptop or tablet; on any other device it closes itself, because the items need a minimum resolution. And if you take the test at home, the organisation can have you sit a supervised follow-up test afterwards to check that your score holds up. So do not get help: in that follow-up you are on your own, and a big gap stands out immediately.
You will also meet the same test under the name PiCompany, which merged fully into GITP in 2022; an invitation from PiCompany means this test. Our practice tests mimic the question format and the time pressure; they are not copies of the real items.
There are roughly six different types of patterns that are often used for number series. By studying the explanations with example exercises of the different patterns, you will recognize the patterns more easily, work faster and make fewer mistakes.
We recommend doing at least 3 practice tests with time constraints. At the end of each exercise set, we indicate how your score relates to the norm group and whether you need to work faster or more accurately to get the highest possible score on your aptitude test to improve your score. This way you know exactly when you are optimally prepared.
Review the results of your finished aptitude tests to determine if you are optimally prepared for your assessment.
There are different types of patterns that are often used for inductive reasoning. By studying the explanations and example exercises of the different patterns, you will recognize the patterns more easily, work faster and make fewer mistakes.
We recommend doing at least 3 exercise sets with time constraints. At the end of each exercise set, we tell you how your score relates to the norm group and whether you need to work faster or more accurately to get the highest possible score on your assessment. This way you know exactly when you are optimally prepared.
