Talent Q

Who are Talent Q

Talent Q is another well-known assessment provider that sits as part of Korn Ferry. Their range of Talent Q ability tests are used for talent selection and acquisition by many employers and it is likely that you may be presented with one at an assessment day.

What sets Talent Q apart from other assessment providers, is that their test are responsive to your capabilities. So each time you answer a question, the system will chose a subsequent question that is either easier or more difficult depending on how you answered the previous question, until such time as it has found the appropriate level of difficulty that is right for you.

Despite this approach, you are expected to get all the questions at the relevant level of difficulty, correct. Furthermore, the tests don’t take too long (about 16 minutes) as the questions should be suitable for you to answer. As the style of these tests differ to most, we would recommend that you familiarise yourself with them by using our practice tests.

Below we have provided you with an overview of Talent Q’s test series:
