Hire SMART!
 
The Business Reasoning Test supports smart hiring, job placement, and performance evaluation. Using case-based questions, the BRT measures the critical thinking skills required in business and professional settings. Whether used with applicants for entry level part time or temporary jobs, or with candidates for full time long term employment, the BRT provides the potential employer with valuable information about core reasoning and problem solving skills. Whatever the job, employers use this highly efficient and cost-effective means to improve the quality of the pool of finalists and to make the best selections from among those who have applied.

The BRT is a standardized test that can be administered conveniently online. The BRT scales report a total critical thinking skills score, and sub-scores on analysis, inference, evaluation, inductive reasoning and deductive reasoning. The test can be given as a diagnostic test of reasoning potential of high school or community college graduates or new staff. The difficulty range of the items also makes this instrument appropriate for testing the critical thinking skills of undergraduate students and mid-level business professionals. In the workplace, the Business Reasoning Test is used to assess an individual's reasoning skills, to secure a thinking skills score as an element in a comprehensive employment application process. In educational settings, the BRT is used for learning outcomes assessment, to gather program evaluation, accreditation and research data.

The companion measure to the BRT is the Business Attribute Inventory (BAI).
