The EY numerical test

EY is reported to use Cappfinity immersive assessment for numerical screening.

EY's 'One assessment' is designed by Cappfinity and measures strengths, cognitive ability and situational judgement together. The numerical content is data interpretation woven into scenarios — about 12 numerical items in the cognitive portion, some multiple choice and some type-the-answer.
