What type of question assesses logical reasoning in the CFAT?

Logical reasoning in the CFAT is primarily assessed through deductive reasoning questions where candidates must draw logical conclusions. These types of questions require individuals to evaluate premises and reach a valid conclusion based on given information. This involves understanding how various statements relate to one another and applying logical principles to arrive at a sound outcome.

In contrast, questions that focus on emotional intelligence assess interpersonal skills and emotional awareness, but do not evaluate logical reasoning capabilities. Similarly, multiple-choice questions regarding history test knowledge of past events and facts rather than the ability to think logically and deduce conclusions. Finally, questions based on personal experiences gather subjective information and insights rather than requiring a logical thought process, thus not fitting the assessment of logical reasoning. Therefore, the emphasis on deductive reasoning directly aligns with logical assessment in the CFAT.
