Terman-Merril MTG

How long will your next hire take to master the role?

Success in high-responsibility roles depends on the capacity to process information, make logical decisions and adapt to new challenges.

Terman-Merril measures verbal and non-verbal intelligence through a battery of ten subtests, and delivers a diagnosis of the candidate’s learning capacity and practical judgment.

Ten series, one complete test

It is not a five-minute questionnaire: the test runs through ten different kinds of task, across verbal and non-verbal intelligence. Move along the battery to see what each one measures.

Long-term memory and the ability to take in data from the environment.

Five diagnostic levels

The report does not hand out a loose score: it places the candidate against the standard expected for the role. Most people fall in the average band, which is why it is the widest one.
