Matrigma is a non‑verbal cognitive ability assessment designed to measure a person’s general mental ability (GMA)—one of the strongest predictors of job performance across industries and role levels. Built on decades of research, Matrigma helps organisations understand how quickly candidates can learn, solve new problems, and think logically in unfamiliar situations. Because it is entirely non‑verbal and free from cultural or educational bias, it provides a fair and universal indication of potential.

What Matrigma Measures

Matrigma is built around matrix style abstract reasoning tasks, where candidates solve visual problems by identifying patterns, relationships, and logical rules.

Learning Agility and Fluid Intelligence

Rather than relying on language or prior knowledge, Matrigma measures pure reasoning ability—how flexibly someone recognises unfamiliar patterns, adapts quickly, and draws logical conclusions under time pressure.

Logical Insight and Connection Finding‑Finding

Test takers must see subtle relationships, infer missing information, and integrate visual cues—core cognitive behaviours linked to successful performance in modern roles.

Why Organisations Use Matrigma

• Predict job performance accurately
  Cognitive ability is one of the most powerful predictors of workplace performance, learning speed, and decision quality. High scorers tend to handle complexity, adapt quickly, and work independently.
• Fair and culturally neutral
  Because Matrigma is fully non‑verbal and relies solely on abstract patterns, it reduces cultural, linguistic, and educational bias and can be administered globally.
• Useful across roles and industries
  Suitable for early career applicants through senior specialists, Matrigma helps organisations identify high potential candidates for roles requiring analytical thinking, problem-solving, and rapid learning.
• Strong test security and reliability
  Randomised items and response orders ensure high test integrity, while research shows stable, reliable scores with no training effects.

Test Format

• 35 items
• 40‑minute time limit
• Difficulty increases progressively

Build a Smarter, More Predictive Hiring Process

Matrigma gives you a scientifically robust, culturally fair, and highly predictive way to evaluate how candidates think, before they step into the role. Whether used alone or alongside personality assessments, it helps you identify individuals who can learn quickly, solve complex problems, and excel in fast changing environments.
