Harver's Cognitive Assessment Review
Harver’s Cognitive Ability Assessment is made of 8 subtests which are used to measure a broad spectrum of cognitive abilities and to produce a holistic understanding of your general intelligence and potential.
The subtests can take anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. Since some skills are more important than others for different jobs, you will not be asked to take all 8 subtests.
Logical Reasoning
This subtest measures your ability to recognize and interpret patterns and details in figures and shapes. You will be presented with five images and you will have to find which image is the odd one out.
Number Patterns
This subtest measures your ability to recognize and interpret patterns in number series. You will have to figure what is the next/missing item in the series.
Speed & Accuracy
Questions in this section require you to quickly learn, memorize, and process information. It also measures how well you can work under pressure. You will be presented with sequences of letters and numbers and you’ll have to quickly identify whether the sequences are identical or not.

Answering Frequently Asked Questions
On the Harver website, we found this:
“Scores are calculated based on norm references where 50% is an average score and most people score between 30% and 70%.”

From this we can infer that any score above 70% is considered above average.
