Practice alle tests including explanations and solutions. Get one step closer to your dream job.
Eligo differs from traditional recruitment tests in that it does not exist in a pure form. Depending on the company and position, your Eligo test will include different modules from the areas of verbal comprehension, numerical and logical skills, as well as technology and spatial understanding. The test is taken on the Perls Testing Platform and lasts 30 – 120 minutes, depending on the level.
How is the Eligo Test Structured?
Depending on the company and position, your test will be structured differently. Your skills will be tested in different areas, called ‘modules’ in this test.
In the verbal area, the modules include tasks on abstraction, reasoning, analogies, spelling, text analysis and language.
Numerical modules test your skills in tasks such as diagram analysis, number series, text tasks, arithmetic with symbols and matrices.
There may also be modules in your Eligo test that include tasks on problem solving, spatial orientation and technical skills.
Some modules are time-limited, others are not. The number of questions also differs depending on the module.

Abstraction Ability
This test measures your ability to recognize abstract patterns and relationships. You need to identify rules governing how figures change in shape, color, or position and apply these rules to find the correct continuation.
Example: Triangles alternate between pointing up and down, and their shading changes every second step. You must choose which figure logically comes next in the sequence.
Applied Reasoning (Verbal Word Cohesion)
This task assesses how well you can understand the relationships between words and meanings. You’ll identify which words logically or semantically belong together.
Example: “Apple is to fruit as carrot is to …?” → Vegetable. This measures how quickly and accurately you see verbal relationships.
Deductive Thinking (Verbal Test)
The verbal reasoning test evaluates your ability to draw logical conclusions from written statements. You’ll read short arguments or statements and decide whether given conclusions are true, false, or cannot be determined.
Example: “All architects are creative. Some creative people are musicians. Therefore, some architects are musicians.” – The correct answer: Cannot be determined.
Diagram Analysis (Numerical Test)
This test measures your ability to interpret data presented in charts, tables, and graphs. You must identify trends, perform calculations, and draw logical conclusions.
Example: A bar chart shows quarterly revenue for three departments. You may need to find which department grew the fastest or calculate the total yearly sales.
Identifying Rules (Numerical – Number Sequence)
Number sequence tasks test your ability to detect logical patterns in numerical progressions. You must find the rule that connects the numbers and apply it to determine the next value.
Example: In the series 3, 6, 12, 24, ?, the rule is doubling each time — so the next number is 48.
Mechanical-Technical Comprehension (Mechanical Test)
This test evaluates your understanding of physical and mechanical principles such as motion, pressure, levers, and gears. It’s common for technical or engineering-related roles.
Example: Two gears interlock — if the first gear turns clockwise, in which direction does the second turn? The correct answer: Counterclockwise.
Problem-Solving Capacity (Logical Matrices)
Logical matrix questions measure your ability to recognize logical rules in patterns or symbol arrangements. You must determine which figure completes the matrix based on consistent relationships across rows and columns.
Example: Each row shows a change in color and shape following a rule — you must select the missing figure that fits both horizontally and vertically.
Text Analysis
Text analysis tasks test your reading comprehension and your ability to interpret written information. You’ll decide whether statements are supported, contradicted, or not mentioned in the text.
Example: After reading a paragraph, you might be asked: “According to the text, did the company increase profits last year?” – Options: True, False, Cannot be determined.
Number Skills
This test measures your numerical accuracy and confidence with everyday mathematical problems. It includes arithmetic, percentages, ratios, and basic calculations.
Example: “A jacket costs €60 after a 25% discount. What was the original price?”
Processing Speed (Eligo Processing Speed)
This test evaluates how quickly and accurately you can recognize and process simple information under time pressure. Accuracy is just as important as speed.
Example: You see pairs like “BD93” and “BD93” or “XK42” and “XK24.” You must quickly mark which pairs are identical.
Team Orientation (Big Five Personality Test)
This is a personality-based assessment designed to measure traits such as cooperation, communication, and emotional stability. The results provide insight into how you typically behave and interact in a team.
Example: You might rate your agreement with statements like “I enjoy supporting others in achieving their goals.” Your responses are compared to established norms to reveal your individual personality profile.
