Our Psychologists Comments

Mechanical reasoning tests are often used for engineering or other technical roles. They rely on the test taker having a knowledge of mechanical concepts rather than looking at an underlying mechanical aptitude. However, it is reasonable to assume that an applicant for a role of this sort will have an academic background that includes Physics and Maths, which will have introduced them to the relevant concepts.
