Korn Ferry Assessment Verbal and Logical Reasoning 5

Question 1

Choose the word most SIMILAR in meaning to 'Prolific'.

Accepted Answer

Productive

Answer

'Prolific' means producing a large amount of output; 'productive' is its closest synonym.

Question 2

A policy states: 'Employees may work remotely if they meet their performance targets.' Jess did not meet her performance targets. What can be concluded?

Accepted Answer

Jess may not work remotely under this policy.

Answer

The policy allows remote work only when targets are met; since Jess did not meet targets, she does not qualify under this policy.

Question 3

Which statement, if true, most weakens the claim: 'Our new onboarding program is responsible for the 20% drop in first-year turnover'?

Accepted Answer

Industry-wide first-year turnover dropped 22% during the same period.

Answer

If industry-wide turnover dropped even more during the same period, the new program may not be responsible — a broader trend explains the drop.

Question 4

A text reads: 'Delegation is not abdication; effective leaders remain accountable even when tasks are assigned to others.' What is the central message?

Answer
