Advanced Numerical Reasoning Appraisal

The Advanced Numerical Reasoning Appraisal is a measure of high-level numerical reasoning skills and assesses the ability to deduct, interpret and evaluate complex information for a variety of positions requiring numerical and reasoning competence.

See the NEW Numerical Data Interpretation Test as an alternative to the ANRA

The Advanced Numerical Reasoning Appraisal (ANRA) measures the ability to use mathematical and statistical reasoning. It is comprised of 36 multiple-choice items and can be completed in 35 minutes. The key attribute of the ANRA is its ability to assess an individual’s ability to apply numerical reasoning to everyday problem solving in professional and business settings by measuring higher-level numerical reasoning skills that involve deduction, interpretation, and evaluation and is designed to identify professionals and leaders who can work efficiently and effectively with business information.

The Advanced Numerical Reasoning Appraisal will identify Professionals and Leaders Who Effectively Manage Complex Business Information

It allows you to easily measure higher-level numerical reasoning skills that are important to anyone involved with financial statements, business metrics, and key performance indicators. Involving more than just math and computation skills, ANRA assesses the ability to deduct, interpret and evaluate complex information.

What It’s Best Used For

This test is best used during early-stage recruitment or internal talent audits to verify advanced analytical competency and data-driven problem-solving for professional, managerial, and executive-level candidates before investing time and money into employee training.

• Evaluating Strategic Decision-Making: It measures a candidate’s comfort level with selecting and isolating vital numerical details needed to make sound corporate choices.
• Vetting Quantitative Comparison Skills: The test checks an applicant’s ability to cross-reference multiple data sources, financial metrics, and company baselines accurately.
• Verifying Complex Information Breakdowns: It evaluates critical reasoning habits, specifically an individual’s capacity to break complex financial data into its core components or underlying principles.
• Assessing Data Sufficiency Logic: The modules track a candidate’s baseline capacity to judge whether the available quantitative info is sufficient to reach an accurate business conclusion.

Built for a proctored online environment, the platform delivers an immediate online report detailing raw scores, interpretive comments, and targeted benchmarking against specified norm groups, uses English formatting, and is fully legal for use in Canada.

The Advanced Numerical Reasoning Appraisal predicts a candidate’s ability to:

• Select important numerical information for decision making
• Compare quantitative information
• Effectively break down information into essential parts or underlying principles
• Evaluate the sufficiency of quantitative information available to reach accurate conclusions
