Numerical Data Interpretation Test
Assess the ability to interpret and manipulate numerical data in the workplace
Numerical Data Interpretation Test
Formerly known as Athena, NDIT™ assesses numerical reasoning ability. It is designed to measure the ability to interpret and manipulate data, which is required in most roles. NDIT looks at candidates’ aptitude to:
- Draw appropriate inferences from data
- Calculate values using basic arithmetic operators and work with decimals and fractions
- Understand information presented in tables, charts and graphs
- Identify when additional data is required to draw particular assumptions.
"The advent of the big data era means that analysing large, messy, unstructured data is going to increasingly form part of everyone’s work."

Features of Numerical Data Interpretation Test
- Items are drawn from a large bank, ensuring no two candidates receive the same test. This allows for unsupervised testing and improved test security.
- Features both multiple choice and free response items. Free response items make guessing the correct answer highly unlikely, which improves the accuracy of the assessment.
- Items are highly relevant to the real numerical problems encountered at work, which improves applicants’ testing experience and fairness impressions.
- Easy to administer. Online test link can be sent to any number of test-takers with one click.
- Test results are presented in two ways. A convenient online dashboard for quickly viewing results and efficient hiring decisions and an easy-to-interpret profile report.

Key Benefits of NDIT
Reduce cost-of-hire and time-to-hire
88% Hiring managers surveyed indicated that “NDIT adds value to the hiring process.” With NDIT to can screen out candidates unlikely to succeed. Norms include working adults, professionals/ individual contributors, and financial roles.
Assess real world maths
NDIT permits use of a calculator and includes free response items—just like the data encountered at work. The test was developed in consultation with HR professionals, so items are business relevant and fair. A pilot study said the test is realistic (63%) and engaging (77%).
Predict job performance and managerial potential
Numerical reasoning is one of the most important skills in today’s data-driven workplace. NDIT measures candidate ability to manipulate and interpret numerical information from dashboards and reports. These skills are rated as “important” for nearly 300 jobs ranging from sales managers to executives.
