Number Series Test examines the ability for inductive and deductive reasoning. Reasoning has been considered a critical component of human intelligent for decades. To separate the ability to perform complex arithmetic calculations from numerical reasoning, one needs to use only the 4 basic arithmetic operations, thus, an item's level depends on the difficulty of identifying the underlining rule.
