What is a Cubiks test?

A Cubiks test is an online assessment from the range now published by Talogy. Logiks measures general or specific verbal, numerical and abstract ability, while PAPI explores work preferences. Talogy lists 20 to 50 items and 12 to 25 minutes across Logiks versions, so check the version in your invitation before choosing your practice.

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.

FormatLogiks and PAPI
Logiks measures general or specific cognitive abilities. PAPI explores work preferences. Match the version in your invitation before preparing.
PaceAllow for your version
Talogy publishes 12 to 25 minutes for Logiks and approximately 20 to 30 minutes for PAPI, with different item counts by version.
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.

How our test takers score

Results from our numerical reasoning test.

Average score64%
75th-percentile score90%
0%50%100%
Average75th percentile

Source: Practice Aptitude Tests

Based on 1280 completed practice sittings, all time. Checked 14 September 2026.

The 75th percentile marks the boundary of the top quarter of recorded scores; tied scores can share that boundary. These are our practice results, not employer pass marks.

How we calculate these figures

We use all-time completed, scored attempts at this practice test. Repeat attempts count separately, so the sample is sittings rather than unique people.

The average is the mean score across those sittings. The 75th percentile comes from their recorded score distribution. The “checked” date is when we retrieved the figures, not the period when the tests were taken.

Logiks tests

Cubiks is now Talogy. Logiks measures general or specific verbal, numerical and abstract ability, with Intermediate and Advanced options. Talogy publishes a range of 20 to 50 items and 12 to 25 minutes across versions; 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Answer: Situational judgement responses are evaluated for their effectiveness in the role. This differs from a personality questionnaire, where you describe your preferences.

Frequently asked questions

What candidates ask us most often

How long is a Cubiks test?

Talogy lists Logiks at 12 to 25 minutes with 20 to 50 items, depending on version. PAPI takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Check the exact version in your invitation.

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.

Reviews

Rated 4.8 out of 5 across 43 reviews. A selection:

How the test is constructed

Was a bit difficult to understand exactly what everything meant in the charts in the first questions, would have been good if there was some sort of info to just get to know exactly what one was looking at

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.
