Talegent PATH Cognitive Assessments

Talegent lists seven cognitive tests, including numerical, verbal and logical reasoning. Here is what its public pages say and how to prepare.

The short answer

Talegent's PATH suite includes numerical, verbal and logical reasoning tests of about 15 to 20 minutes each, plus fault finding, mechanical, spatial and visual short-term memory tests. Free official practice versions exist but have only 3 questions each. Pass marks are not publicly confirmed.

Seven tests under one name

Talegent's PATH cognitive ability page lists seven tests. Three are core reasoning tests, and four are more specialised. Employers and publishers change their processes, and what you receive can vary by role, country and year, so treat your own invitation as the final word.

Numerical reasoning
Understanding and making decisions from numerical information. A 3-question practice version is public.
Verbal reasoning
Understanding and making decisions from written information. A 3-question practice version is public.
Logical reasoning
Spotting trends and patterns and using them to solve problems. A 3-question practice version is public.
Fault finding
Listed on the PATH page. Format details are not publicly confirmed.
Mechanical reasoning

Spatial reasoning

Visual short-term memory

What the official practice page tells you

Talegent's practice page offers a trial of each of the three core cognitive tests, each with just 3 questions that, according to Talegent, reflect the full experience. The practice launches on Talegent's own assessment site. The page says the full cognitive assessments take approximately 15 to 20 minutes each. Scoring method, adaptivity, and the number of questions in a live test are not stated on the pages checked, so they are not publicly confirmed.

Talegent also lists a PATH personality questionnaire that takes around 30 minutes. It is a separate part of the process, and ReasonEra does not cover it.

The three core tests, shown with examples

The examples below are original and are not Talegent items. They show the type of thinking each test name suggests, and the answers were checked by calculation or by listing cases.

Numerical reasoning

Warehouse A packs 18 orders per hour for 12 hours. Warehouse B packs 14 orders per hour for 8 hours. What percentage of the combined orders did A pack?
  • 58.9 percent
  • 62.5 percent
  • 65.9 percent
  • 70.1 percent
Answer: 65.9 percent
A packed 18 x 12 = 216 orders and B packed 14 x 8 = 112, so the combined total is 328. 216 / 328 = 0.6585, which is 65.9 percent.

Verbal reasoning

Passage: The depot opens at 06:00 on weekdays. Deliveries for the north region leave before 09:00, and no delivery leaves the depot on Sundays. Statement: The depot dispatches north-region deliveries on Saturdays.
  • True
  • False
  • Cannot say
Answer: Cannot say
The passage says the depot opens on weekdays and that nothing leaves on Sundays. Saturday is neither confirmed nor ruled out, so the statement cannot be judged from the text.

Logical reasoning

A logical item might show a row of shapes where each step changes colour and position by a fixed rule, and ask which option fills the gap. The method is to list the changes one at a time (shape, colour, number, position), find which change repeats, and test it on every step. Our guides on abstract reasoning and inductive reasoning walk through this process.

A short plan for the three core tests

1
Start with Talegent's own practice
Do the three short practice versions on Talegent's site once, to see the interface and question layout before invitation day.
2
Add volume elsewhere
Three questions is a taste, not training. Use the free practice tests on this site for timed sets of 10 original questions.
3
Review by error type
Sort mistakes into misreading, arithmetic slips and method gaps. Each has a different fix.
4
Plan for 15 to 20 minutes of focus
Each cognitive assessment is described as roughly that long, so practise in a single sitting with no interruptions.

The specialised tests

Fault finding, mechanical reasoning, spatial reasoning and visual short-term memory are named on the page, but Talegent does not publish sample items for them in the pages reviewed. Your employer decides which of them, if any, to include. If your invitation lists spatial reasoning, the spatial and diagrammatic practice test is a reasonable warm-up. Do not assume mechanical or fault-finding content from the name alone.

Practising with ReasonEra

ReasonEra can help with the numerical, verbal, logical and spatial question types. Screenshot a practice question, choose Quick Verify to compare your answer, or Tutor Explanation for the reasoning, then attempt a fresh item on your own. ReasonEra is not affiliated with Talegent. A free account includes 3 free trials, and a 14-Day Pass costs 49 € for unlimited use for 14 days.

Publishers update their tests and employers swap providers, so check your own invitation for the final word.

A note on fair use

ReasonEra exists to teach the method behind each answer, but some assessments are proctored and many forbid any assistance, so ask the recruiter if anything is unclear.
