NEWTON (UK) 2026 Online Assessment

The test is divided into two main components: Behavioural Assessment and General Ability Assessment (SHL). Unlike the Behavioral Assessment, which has no time constraints, the General Ability Assessment must be completed within a 36-minute timeframe.

1. Behavioural Assessment

The Mindset Assessment is a personality questionnaire designed to evaluate various traits and preferences. It typically requires 20 to 25 minutes to finish and includes approximately 76 questions. A unique aspect of this section is that each question must be answered twice, ensuring a thorough and consistent evaluation of the respondent's mindset.

2. General Ability Assessment

This assessment evaluates your ability to solve problems, work with numerical data, and apply logical reasoning. You will encounter various tasks that require analyzing different scenarios, making sense of the given information, recognizing patterns or sequences, performing calculations, and reaching well-supported conclusions based on the evidence. The test is designed to measure how effectively you can process information, think critically, and apply your skills to arrive at accurate solutions.

2.1. Calendar and Daily Planner Questions

This section will either give you the scheduling requirements for several people to schedule a time that is convenient for all, or it will give you the scheduling requirements for several work tasks and ask you to schedule those tasks throughout the day as required.

Calendar Questions: You need to focus on each person's work scheduling requirements, reasonably extrapolate the time available to each person, and then mark all the dates on the calendar on which each person is available.

Daily Planner Questions:You need to focus on the work task scheduling requirements (e.g., how long each task takes, the order in which they need to be scheduled, etc.), and then rationalize the available time slots for each work task in the day timeline by filling them in separately.

2.2. Labelling and Sorting

This part will give you the requirements for each person's location arrangement, allowing you to match their room or seat to the task based on known information; or it will give you some numerical (e.g., sales, scores, etc.) hints of information for each character, allowing you to deduce the sequential ranking of each person based on the information.

Labelling: For labeling (arranging the position of characters or matters), you have to focus on each person's positional arrangement requirements (e.g., adjacency issues, directional issues, etc.), and you have to start with the known information first, and then extrapolate everyone's positional arrangement through the positional relationships between characters.

2.3. Data analysis (Pie Chart\Bar Chart\Line Chart)

This test measures the ability to understand, interpret, and logically evaluate numerical information. Rather than presenting you with a set of response options from which to choose.

The questions will give relevant information, and you will need to form your answer based on this information by dragging the legend on a bar chart, pie chart, or line chart.

The calculations involved in this part are generally not very large, and you will need to pay attention to the legend and match your answer to the legend.
