The Use of Aptitude Tests (SHL & Others) in Consultancies
Consulting firms such as Accenture are one of the groups of companies most likely (after financial firms and investment banks) to be using aptitude tests in their candidate assessment processes. Because of the need for good numerical & verbal skills among employees in most positions at consultancies, most firms will put applicants through a minimum of a numerical reasoning test and verbal reasoning test, with some also making use of diagrammatic reasoning and logical / abstract / inductive reasoning tests too.
