What is a Cubiks test?
A Cubiks test is an online assessment from the test range now published by Talogy, which absorbed Cubiks in 2022. The best known are the Logiks ability tests, covering verbal, numerical and abstract reasoning, and the PAPI personality questionnaire. Logiks tests are strictly timed and quick fire: the Intermediate version gives you 50 questions in 12 minutes, around 14 seconds per question, while the Advanced version allows 30 questions in 20 minutes.
Which Cubiks test you sit depends on the employer and the role: an entry-level position will not be given the same assessment as a graduate or managerial one.
How a Cubiks test works
Four things to know before you sit one. Timings and difficulty vary with the level of the role.
- FormatQuick-fire multiple choice
- Logiks questions are multiple choice and come fast. The Intermediate test mixes verbal, numerical and abstract questions in one 12-minute sitting; the Advanced tests are longer and can be set per section.
- Pace14 seconds a question, or 50
- Logiks General Intermediate gives you 50 questions in 12 minutes. The Advanced version gives you 30 in 20 minutes, and its single-section verbal and numerical tests 25 minutes each.
- DifficultySet by version
- Intermediate is used for graduate and entry-level hiring, Advanced for professional and managerial roles with harder questions. Confirm which version you face before you practise.
- ScoringA percentile from correct answers and speed
- Logiks becomes a percentile against a comparison group, built from total correct answers, speed and accuracy. PAPI N is compared with other candidates; PAPI I builds a development plan.
Cubiks tests by name, with question counts and timings
Your invitation email will name the assessment rather than describe it. This is what each name means, how many questions it carries and how long you get.
| Assessment | What it measures | Questions | Time limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Logiks General Intermediate | Verbal, numerical and abstract reasoning in one sitting; graduate and entry level | 50 | 12 min |
| Logiks General Advanced | The same three areas at professional and managerial level | 30 | 20 min |
| Logiks Verbal Advanced | Questions on a passage of text, answered from the text alone | Timed set | 25 min |
| Logiks Numerical Advanced | Reading and using numerical data | Timed set | 25 min |
| Logiks Abstract Advanced | Continuing a pattern from multiple-choice options | Timed set | 15 min |
| PAPI N | Work personality and preferences, rated statements, compared with other candidates | Rated statements | Untimed, about 25 to 30 min |
| PAPI I | Most and least like you from sets of three statements, for development | Statement sets | Untimed, about 30 to 35 min |
| Situational judgement | The most effective next steps in a short workplace scenario | Scenarios | Varies |
Counts and timings vary by role level and by the version an employer licences. Check the instructions on the screen before you start. Facts checked August 2026.

Logiks tests
Cubiks tests fall into three types, Logiks (verbal, numerical and abstract reasoning), PAPI (personality) and the SJT, and an employer may use one or a combination. Logiks is the most common, in two versions: Logiks General Intermediate, 50 questions in 12 minutes for graduate and entry-level roles, and Logiks General Advanced, 30 harder questions in 20 minutes for professional and managerial roles. Both cover the three sections below; confirm which version you face before you practise.
Logiks verbal tests
As in other verbal reasoning tests, each question gives you a passage to read and asks about its content, answered from the passage alone.
From www.talogy.com
Answer: “A growing awareness of the importance of using energy sources that are less harmful to the environment.” All other reasons were mentioned in the given text.
Logiks numerical tests
Numerical reasoning questions ask you to read numerical data and use it to answer the question.
From www.talogy.com
Answer: Spain. Although it might have the smallest total, the amount of public sector investment is proportionately higher than the total investment.
Logiks abstract tests
An abstract reasoning question shows a pattern and asks which of the multiple-choice options continues it.
Source: www.talogy.com
Answer: B. It is the same block as the second one in the pattern, so would be the logical one to complete the pattern.
PAPI personality assessments
The PAPI (Personality and Preferences Index) is a personality questionnaire about how you behave and perform at work, used either to compare candidates or as a baseline for development.
PAPI N test
The PAPI N (Normative) is usually part of pre-employment screening. Statements are presented and you rate how far you agree or disagree. There are no right or wrong answers, so answer as you believe you behave at work.
Source: www.talogy.com
Answer: As this is a personality test, there is no correct answer.
PAPI I test
The PAPI I (Ipsative) presents three statements about behaviour at a time and asks which is most and least like you at work.
Source: www.talogy.com
Answer: As this is a personality test, there is no correct answer.
Situational judgement tests
The Cubiks situational judgement test gives a brief workplace scenario with possible actions, and you select the next steps by how effectively they deal with the situation.
Source: www.talogy.com
Answer: In the same way as the PAPI tests, the Cubiks SJT does not have a right or a wrong answer - it depends very much on your own problem-solving methods.
Frequently asked questions
What candidates ask us most often
How long is a Cubiks test?
The Logiks General (Intermediate) test is just 12 minutes long, while the Advanced is 20 minutes long.
The Logiks Verbal (Advanced) and Numerical (Advanced) are 25 minutes long, while the Abstract (Advanced) is 15 minutes long.
The PAPI tests are untimed; however the PAPI N usually takes 25–30 minutes to complete and the PAPI I takes about 30–35 minutes.
What is a good Logiks General score?
There is no standard score, because each employer sets its own target. On the Intermediate test a score of 6 or above is usually read as above average, with 7 or higher sought for top-tier roles; on the Advanced test the 70th to 80th percentile is generally a strong, safe result.
Is Cubiks the same as Talogy?
Yes. Cubiks was acquired by PSI Services, and in 2022 PSI brought its assessment tools together under the Talogy name. An invitation to a Talogy Logiks or PAPI test means the Cubiks format described here; the question logic and timings are unchanged.
How will I take my Cubiks test?
Most Cubiks tests are taken online, so they can be completed almost anywhere. For some employers, online assessments might happen at an assessment centre. A link to the test will be sent to you, for you to open and complete.

Conversion
A lot of percentages and a lot of conversion of currencies to make. Small amount of time. But overall a good and interesting test to measure your average level.
Challenging
The time doesn't give you time to think so you have to be good with estimation at points in the test which is good in my opinion, it really helps you think on your feet.
