Total Score Scale

The Total score describes overall strength in using reasoning to form reflective judgments about what to believe or what to do. To score well overall, the test taker must excel in the sustained, focused and integrated application of core reasoning skills including analysis, interpretation, inference, evaluation, explanation, induction and deduction. The Total score predicts the capacity for success in educational or workplace setting which demand reasoned decision making and thoughtful problem solving.
