What is an Analogies Test?

Verbal analogies tests are standardized psychometric assessment tests (also used on SAT, GRE,
and other professional exams) that provide the employing organization with information about a
candidate’s general verbal acuity and insight. Verbal analogy tests are designed to assess a
candidate’s ability to recognize relationships between ideas, think methodically and fluency in
the English language. The questions in the test are designed to assess a candidate’s logical and
analytical reasoning through the use of partial analogies.

Several relationships between pairs of words are possible. For instance, expect relations such as:

 Antonyms: words that have opposite meanings.

 Synonyms: words that have similar meanings, such as Buy – Purchase.
 Descriptive: in which one word describes the other word, such as Blue – Ocean.
 Part to Whole: in which one word is a part or piece of the other, such as Head – Body.
 Steps in a Process: such as Cooking – Serving.
 Cause and Effect: such as Fire – Scorch and Blizzard – Freeze
 Things and Their Functions: such as Scissors – Cut.
 Item to Category: in which one word names something that falls into the group named by
the other, such as Lemonade – Beverage.
 Implied Relationships: such as Clouds – Sun.
 Symbol and What it Represents: such as Heart – Love.
