About IMC Inductive Reasoning
The IMC Inductive Reasoning Test is an SHL cognitive assessment that evaluates your ability to identify patterns, recognise relationships and apply logical rules to unfamiliar problems. Unlike traditional numerical reasoning tests, questions involve interactive tasks where you must work out an underlying pattern and construct the correct solution.
The typical test contains 15 questions to complete in 18 minutes. Questions include region patterns, where you identify how shaded areas change across a sequence and construct the next figure, and node chains, where you connect numbers, letters or paired labels according to a hidden rule. The challenge is identifying increasingly complex patterns accurately under time pressure.
What questions can you expect?
| Question type | Your task |
|---|---|
| Region patterns | Use empty, solid and hatched regions to construct the next figure. |
| Node chains | Connect letters, numbers or paired labels in the correct order. |
Frequently asked questions
What does this practice assessment contain?
Fifteen interactive questions in eighteen minutes: nine region patterns and six node chains, including overlays, reflected fill cycles, mirrored codes, interleaved rules and digit reversal. The format is fixed and does not adapt to your answers.
How is the score calculated?
A completely correct state vector or node path earns one point. Incorrect and unanswered questions earn zero. Your score is out of fifteen; there is no employer pass mark or percentile.
What does Premium add?
Free practice uses the same full test each time. Premium generates fresh forms with the same timing, question families and difficulty balance.
