Spatial Ability questions measure your ability to form mental
images, and visualize movement or change in those images.
Spatial
ability tests often involve the visual assembly and the
disassembly of objects that have been rotated or which are viewed
from different angles.
Spatial ability is required in production, technical and design
jobs where plans and drawings are used, for example; engineering,
architecture, surveying and design. However, it is also important
in some branches of science where the ability to envisage the
interactions of 3 dimensional components is essential.
At first sight some of these questions look very similar to
abstract reasoning questions – they are not. Spatial ability
questions are concerned only with your ability to mentally
manipulate shapes, not to identify patterns and make logical
deductions. They are not routinely used in graduate and management
level tests unless the job specifically requires good spatial
skills.
This sample question paper contains 45 questions and has a
suggested time limit of 20 minutes. The questions are presented in
Letter/A4 format for easy printing and self-marking.

Spatial Ability - Practice Test1
All spatial ability tests rely on you being able to imagine what
would happen in your mind's eye. Unfortunately, about 5% of the
adult population find it impossible to imagine two-dimensional
shapes being moved through a third dimension. This is thought to
be because there is a genetic factor involved in spatial reasoning
ability.
Over 95% of the candidates who fail these tests did not do enough practice - Don't be one of them!
