Assess Cognitive Performance with Numerical Sequences

What is the WN Test?

The What’s Next (WN) Test is an advanced cognitive assessment designed to evaluate a broad range of abilities through numerical sequence reasoning tasks. Building upon Jouve's 2005 EPC Test, the WN Test introduces multiple valid solutions for each sequence, encouraging diverse problem-solving strategies. This approach offers a more comprehensive evaluation of cognitive flexibility and reasoning.

Although the sequences rely on basic arithmetic, the WN Test measures deeper inductive reasoning and cognitive adaptability, making it suitable for various educational and professional contexts.

What Does the WN Test Measure?

The WN Test evaluates several critical cognitive skills:

  • Numerical Reasoning: Ability to complete sequences using basic arithmetic.
  • Inductive Reasoning: Assesses the ability to identify patterns and infer general rules from specific examples.
  • Problem-Solving Flexibility: Evaluates the use of different strategies to approach multiple valid solutions.
  • Pattern Recognition: Measures the ability to detect and apply numerical patterns.

Psychometric Properties

The WN Test is grounded in thorough psychometric research, ensuring both reliability and validity:
