Advanced Numerical Reasoning Appraisal

Identify individuals and management talent who are "good with numbers"


At a Glance:

  • ADMINISTRATION: 30-35 minutes, Online
  • COMPETENCY AREAS: Comparison of Quantities, Sufficiency of Information

The Advanced Numerical Reasoning Appraisal (ANRA) measures higher-level numerical reasoning and is the equivalent of Watson-Glaser "with numbers." Numerical reasoning ability is vital for employees who need to make decisions using financial statements, trends and statistics, sales data, performance metrics and other information. ANRA can accurately predict a candidate's ability to identify the most important information from a set of data, compare complex quantitative information, and break down information into essential parts.

Who is it for?

ANRA is a great tool for evaluating professionals who interpret and analyze numerical information, including:

  • Management
  • Sales and Marketing
  • Accounting, Finance and Insurance
  • Professionals in virtually every position and industry

Validity Studies

  • ANRA is proven to predict the ability to use quantitative reasoning to solve problems, learn numerical concepts quickly, recognize similarities and differences, and accurately assess the value of assets
  • Across financial occupations, ANRA predicted analysis and problem solving (r = .32), judgment and decision making (r = .36), quantitative/professional knowledge and expertise (r = .36), total job performance (r = .44), and overall potential (r = .31)
