Working Memory & Instruction FollowingEvery wrong answer on this test is an instruction you skipped, reversed or rounded.

Twenty-two multiple-choice items measure Attention to Detail & Accuracy and Logical Reasoning through multi-step arithmetic chains, conditional picks from lists and positional letter operations. Eighteen minutes; the report shows exactly which kind of instruction you drop under load.

No trick knowledge — only the discipline to do what was asked

Nothing here requires a formula you might have forgotten. One item starts you at a number, tells you to add something, then multiply the running total, and asks for the result; another names a word and asks for the letter in a particular position counting from a particular side; a third asks you to pick from a list only the entries that satisfy two conditions at once. Each step is trivial. The difficulty is holding the sequence in working memory and executing it in the stated order rather than the order that feels natural.

The 22 items and their keys are machine-generated and machine-verified, so there is no ambiguity in what counts as correct and no item where two readings are defensible. Distractors are the outputs of the specific slips the format provokes: the step performed in the wrong order, the direction reversed, the total approximated instead of computed. The bank is original, follows established instruction-following and working-memory screening conventions and is not affiliated with any third-party instrument.

A raw score tells you how many you got right. The report tells you why you got the others wrong. Each of the 22 items is reviewed with its rule stated in full, so a candidate can see that the misses cluster on positional operations, say, rather than arithmetic chains. Both competencies are scored and banded separately, with a coaching interpretation for each and a growth plan built from the weaker of the two.

What you walk away with

An overall score with a band, not just a count

Your 0–100 score lands in one of four bands — Emerging, Developing, Strong or Exceptional — so a candidate knows where they sit and a hiring team can set a consistent threshold across applicants without inventing one for each vacancy.

Accuracy and reasoning separated

Attention to Detail & Accuracy and Logical Reasoning are scored on their own tagged items and shown as banded bars with a coaching interpretation each. Someone can be precise but slow to see the structure, or the reverse; the report says which.

Every rule explained in the item review

All 22 items come back with the correct answer and the rule that produces it, alongside your choice. A learner sees which kind of instruction they drop; a recruiter sees whether a low score is carelessness or a single misunderstood format.

A growth plan pointed at the weaker competency

The plan is built from your lowest-scoring competency and its interpretation, with practical steps a candidate can rehearse before an aptitude round or an operations role. It is generated from your own responses, not a generic checklist.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Working Memory & Instruction Following test measure?

It measures whether you can hold a short sequence of instructions in mind and execute them exactly as stated: multi-step arithmetic chains, conditional selection from lists and positional letter operations. Two competencies are scored — Attention to Detail & Accuracy and Logical Reasoning. It is built for operations, compliance and service roles where a skipped or reversed step is the typical failure, and for candidates preparing for those aptitude rounds.

Can you prepare for an instruction-following test, or is it pure ability?

You can improve markedly. Most errors come from executing steps in the order that feels natural rather than the order written, or from approximating a total instead of computing it. Because every one of the 22 items is reviewed with its rule stated, a candidate sees which habit costs them marks. Guessing does not help: keys are machine-verified and the distractors are the exact outputs of the common slips.

How long does it take and what is included?

Eighteen minutes for 22 multiple-choice items, taken in one sitting on any device. You receive the full report immediately: an overall 0–100 score with a band, banded bars for both competencies with a coaching interpretation each, a personalised narrative, strengths and development areas, a growth plan and the complete question-by-question review. Everything is included; there is nothing further to unlock.

How would a hiring team use the result?

Set a band threshold consistent across applicants, then use the item review in interview: a candidate whose misses cluster on positional operations is a different conversation from one who drops arithmetic steps. Because there is no pass mark, the report suits development as well as screening — a team lead can issue it to a new joiner, work through the review together and retake later to see the change.

Is the test relevant outside India, and in which currency is it priced?

Yes. The items are language-light, culture-neutral operations on numbers, letters and lists, and the format follows instruction-following screening conventions used internationally. The report is written in plain international English. The test is priced in INR and USD, so a candidate abroad or a global hiring team pays in the currency that suits them, with the live price shown on this page.
