Hire candidates who challenge assumptions and make sound decisions — even with incomplete data.
Resumes can't show you how candidates think.
Use our 15-minute,
scenario-based test to see how candidates reason, evaluate arguments, and make decisions -
before you commit to interviews or a hire.
Why Test Critical Thinking?
Critical thinking strongly predicts performance in white-collar roles —
especially when decisions are made with incomplete or conflicting information.
The problem? CVs and interviews rarely show how someone actually thinks. Heroify helps
you see it early.
Without Testing
What you risk
- New hires who look great on paper but freeze when problems get messy
- Teams that spend weeks solving the wrong problems
- Decisions based on gut feeling instead of logic
- Recurring issues because no one digs into root causes
With 
What you gain
- Faster, more accurate decision-making across the organization
- Employees who learn fast and adapt to new information
- People who solve problems instead of escalating them
- Fewer project failures thanks to better problem scoping
When test for Critical Thinking?
Use this test when the role requires:
- Making decisions without full information
- Prioritising when everything feels urgent
- Analysing data, processes, or business trade-offs
- Solving problems that don't have obvious answers
- Working independently without step-by-step instructions
- Learning quickly and connecting new concepts
Rule of thumb: If "problem-solving," "analytical skills," or "good judgment" appears in your job description, use this test.

What Does The Critical Thinking Test Measures?
The Critical Thinking test shows how candidates:
Draw logical conclusions from complex or limited information
Recognize patterns, inconsistencies, and cause–effect relationships
Resist impulsive "gut-feeling" answers in favor of logic
Adapt their reasoning when new information appears
Our methodology is validated by I/O psychologists and based on decades of research into cognitive assessment. Each question is designed to reveal how candidates think, not just what they know.
How It Works
We don't use abstract puzzles or irrelevant brain teasers.
Our test
presents realistic scenarios requiring candidates to analyze information, identify
patterns, and draw logical conclusions - just like they would on the job.
-
Takes 10-15 minutes, not half an hour
-
Realistic work-like scenarios
-
Balanced difficulty that actually differentiates candidates
-
Scientifically validated
-
Mobile-friendly, candidates can take it anywhere
-
Benchmarking results against real candidates in similar roles
-
Cheat-resistant signals based on behaviour patterns, e.g. unusual speed or tab-switching
-
Candidates don't feel "examined". They feel challenged — in a good way
The number of tasks in your project doubles every day. If it takes 12 days for the project to reach its maximum capacity, how long would it take for the project to reach half of its capacity?
