Caliper Assessment Caliper Assessment Abstract Reasoning and Numerical Skills Questions and Answers 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Which best describes the purpose of numerical reasoning sections on the Caliper Assessment?
- To assess spelling and grammar accuracy
- To evaluate how well a candidate analyzes numerical data to make decisions (Correct answer)
- To measure physical coordination
- To test knowledge of accounting standards
Correct answer: To evaluate how well a candidate analyzes numerical data to make decisions
Numerical reasoning on the Caliper evaluates a candidate's ability to interpret data and draw conclusions relevant to workplace decisions.
Question 2: If a Caliper sequence shows shapes increasing by one side per step (triangle → square → pentagon), what comes after a hexagon?
- Heptagon (Correct answer)
- Octagon
- Nonagon
- Circle
Correct answer: Heptagon
Each step adds one side, so after a hexagon (6 sides) comes a heptagon (7 sides).
Question 3: A table shows quarterly sales of $12,000, $15,000, $9,000, and $18,000. What is the average quarterly sales figure?
- $13,000
- $13,500 (Correct answer)
- $14,000
- $12,500
Correct answer: $13,500
Total = $54,000; divided by 4 quarters = $13,500.
Question 4: In an abstract pattern, every odd-numbered item is shaded and every even-numbered item is hollow. What is item 9?
- Hollow
- Shaded (Correct answer)
- Striped
- Cannot be determined
Correct answer: Shaded
9 is odd, so item 9 is shaded according to the given rule.
Question 5: A Caliper abstract reasoning matrix shows rows where each column's shape rotates 90° clockwise. The bottom-right cell is missing. The bottom-left shows an upward-pointing arrow. What belongs in the missing cell?
- An upward-pointing arrow
- A left-pointing arrow
- A downward-pointing arrow
- A right-pointing arrow (Correct answer)
Correct answer: A right-pointing arrow
Rotating the upward arrow 90° clockwise gives a right-pointing arrow.
Question 6: If 8 workers complete a task in 15 days, how many days will 12 workers take to complete the same task?
- 10 days (Correct answer)
- 12 days
- 8 days
- 9 days
Correct answer: 10 days
Total work = 8 × 15 = 120 worker-days; 120 ÷ 12 = 10 days.
