Measure a candidate’s ability to make decisions, solve problems and learn

SMART is especially useful for high volume recruitment, as it minimises the risk of cheating, and ensures that each candidate receives varied items appropriate for their ability level.The reasoning skills measured are linked to the general factor of intelligence, and have been widely demonstrated as the most reliable predictors of performance in the workplace.Employees with higher intellectual ability are better prepared to learn job-related skills quickly and adapt to the environment, thereby improving their potential to succeed in a particular role.

SMART helps identify students who have the ability to succeed in an industry or institution by giving a clearer picture of their aptitude and learning ability.Individuals with a higher intellectual ability tend to respond better in academic training and work environments, and are able to find the necessary resources to succeed.

An employee's ability to develop new skills, face new challenges, and learn from training is a strong predictor of their future performance.Identifying an employee’s reasoning abilities allows employers to predict which areas they will most likely excel in, thereby providing valuable information on which future tasks and projects they should be allocated.
