What is Verbal Reasoning

Verbal reasoning is one ability that falls under the range of cognitive skills. It refers to the ability to understand concepts and work through problems and ideas. Verbal reasoning is all about English comprehension and how well a person can understand what they are reading.
Verbal reasoning tests are often used in recruitment processes. In these assessments, the participant will be given passages of text to read. Then, they will be asked questions about those passages to determine how well they understood them. This allows hiring managers to test candidates’ reasoning and understanding skills. Doing well in the test would indicate that they can clearly understand written communication, which is important in many roles.
