Types of Verbal Reasoning

Verbal reasoning is the comprehension of concepts expressed in words. Verbal reasoning is not concerned with fluency or vocabulary, but rather with assessing one’s capacity for productive thought. Verbal reasoning exams provide an accurate evaluation of a person’s capacity to think, reason, and solve issues in a variety of ways.

Verbal Reasoning Question Types

Classification

Classification is the process of grouping items based on their shared characteristics, such as shape, size, category, colour, and trait, and then identifying the outlier. The questions comprise a collection of unique things, and applicants are required to identify the outlier.

Logical Sequence of words

As its name suggests, a logical sequence of words is a sort of reasoning that consists of words, for which we must determine a logical order. Typically, the words in these questions are listed in the order 1, 2, 3, etc.

Analogy

In general, an analogy is a similarity between two distinct but sufficiently comparable occurrences, situations, or conditions. A linguistic analogy compares one pair of words to another pair of words by highlighting their similarities.

Cause and Effect

The primary objective of cause and effect questions is to determine the connection between two provided assertions. The relationship that must be examined is if the assertions have a causal connection.

Truth verification (True/False questions)

This sort of reasoning questions consists of a query followed by four potential responses. The choices except the correct response appear to have a connection to the thing specified in the sentence.

Puzzles

Puzzles are raw information supplied for a series or order of items that must be assembled methodically in order to appropriately display the sequence or order.
