Multitasking Test

Two tasks at once: scan number grids for duplicate pairs while answering spoken questions from your phonebook, agenda, mental math and word categories — some of which must be answered at an exact moment on the clock.

6 minIntellectual

Non-Verbal Reasoning

Spot the rule in a set of abstract figures — pick the odd one out, the option that completes the pattern, or the true rotation of a figure. Tests non-verbal, fluid reasoning under time pressure.

Syllogisms

Read three statements and pick the conclusion that logically follows. Tests your deductive reasoning under time pressure.

Verbal Reasoning

Read a short passage, then judge statements as True, False or Cannot Say — reasoning strictly from the text. Tests critical reading and verbal deduction under time pressure.

Data Interpretation

Read data from a chart or table — bar, line, pie or table — and answer a numerical question or judge a statement True, False or Cannot Say, one item at a time against the clock. Play with a single chart per question, or the cut-e-realistic tabbed workbook where finding the right dataset is part of the task.

Matrix Transformations

Grid Classification

Six example tables, two hidden classes — deduce the rule that separates them and assign new tables to the right class. Adapted from the cut-e (Aon) scales cls format, including an Assessment Format mode that mirrors the real screen: four unmarked tables per item, 12 items in 12 minutes.

Big Five Personality Test

A scientifically grounded personality inventory based on the IPIP-NEO-120. Rate 120 statements to map your profile across the five major personality domains — Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism — each broken down into six facets.

Forced-Choice Personality Questionnaire

Practice the forced-choice personality format used in airline selection (Aon/cut-e shapes, SHL OPQ32r). Each block shows three equally positive statements — pick the one most like you and the one least like you, then see the relative trade-off profile your choices produce.

Situational Judgement Test

Read realistic cockpit and crew-room scenarios and judge how a professional flight crew would respond. A practice and reflection tool: after you commit, you compare your judgement with an expert reference and read the reasoning behind it. Play the classic format, or a chat presentation modelled on Aon's chatAssess.

Hand-Eye-Foot Coordination Test

A real-time three-axis coordination test. Keep the aircraft centred on the target runway while periodic disturbances push it left/right, forward/backward, and roll it from side to side. Best practised with a game controller or rudder pedals mapped to the three control axes.

Path Following Test

A hand-eye coordination test of fine-motor precision, built on the continuous path-tracking format used across pilot aptitude screening. Steer a dot along a winding track from the green start to the red end without drifting off the path. The same route repeats each round so your improvement is measurable.
