Grid Classification

Intellectual

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.

Overview

Inductive reasoning is the ability to extract a rule from a limited set of examples and apply it to new cases — the core of learning procedures, spotting regularities and making sound decisions from incomplete information. This test presents each item as six example tables: 3×3 grids of letters and numbers, three marked as Class A and three as Class B. Something systematic separates the two groups — a symbol that appears a fixed number of times, how many cells hold numbers, what sits in a particular cell, whether any symbol repeats. You deduce the classification rule and assign a new, unmarked table to the correct class before moving to the next item, each with a fresh rule. This is adapted from the cut-e (Aon) scales cls (inductive-logical thinking) test, where six colour-marked tables define two classes and unmarked tables must be assigned within a 12-minute limit; scales cls appears in Aon's pilot-selection batteries and in graduate hiring at major employers. The Assessment Format mode mirrors the official test screen: the marked examples on top, four unmarked tables side by side below, each assigned to its group before the item advances, across 12 items in 12 minutes with every table judged separately (48 judgments in a full run). The classic mode remains our one-at-a-time practice variant — the same rule engine with a single table per item, for focused drilling at your own length. In both modes every item is generated fresh and machine-checked so that any rule consistent with the six examples leads to the same correct answer.

Example: deduce the rule, assign the table

The walkthrough below uncovers the hidden rule the way you would hunt it in the test: candidate first, counter-check against Class B, then commit.

Three tables are marked Class A and three Class B. Find what every Class A table has in common that no Class B table shares — then place the unmarked table.

How to hunt the rule
Check in this order: is one symbol repeated a fixed number of times, how many cells hold numbers, what sits in a particular cell, and whether any symbol repeats at all. One check per second beats staring — commit as soon as a rule fits all six tables.

Game Phases

1

Configure

Pick a practice length — up to the full 12 minutes of the real scales cls — or the Official Format: four tables per item, 12 items in 12 minutes, exactly like the official test screen.

2

Deduce

Study the six example tables. What do all three Class A tables share that no Class B table has? Check symbol counts, number counts, fixed cells, repeats.

3

Assign

Apply the rule to the unmarked table and commit — Class A (A / ←) or Class B (B / →). The next item appears instantly with a new rule.

4

Review

See your accuracy and pace, an item-by-item map, and every mistake replayed with the example tables and the hidden rule spelled out.

ENAC Law and Anti-Law

Three numbers, words or figures obey a hidden law, and three don't. Under them are 8 propositions: tick every one that obeys the law. Numbers, words and figures are mixed through the run. The exam format is 35 boards in 30 minutes, and you're free to move between boards and change your ticks until you hand in.
