Cognify is Criteria Corp's game-based alternative to its CCAT. Instead of multiple-choice questions you play short games after a tutorial for each. Criteria's current product page describes three games in about ten minutes plus tutorials; older material for the Asia-Pacific market describes a six-game battery of about twenty minutes. Which one you get depends on the employer and the region.
Because the score comes from how you play — speed, accuracy and the sequence of moves — a static question cannot represent Cognify honestly. That is why this page has no free practice test. What it has is what each game asks of you.

| Clock | Current main product page: approximately 10 minutes plus tutorials, across three games. Older APAC material: approximately 20 minutes plus tutorials, across six games. Individual game durations not established from publisher material. |
Current three-game battery. Grid Lock: fit pieces into a grid (problem solving, spatial reasoning). Numbubbles: pop bubbles whose equations equal a target number (numerical reasoning, speeded). Proof It: find spelling and punctuation errors in text against the clock (verbal knowledge).
Older six-game battery adds Short Cuts (move a marble to a target efficiently), Resemble (rotate and reconstruct a target image) and Tally Up (pick the token group with the highest value, quickly). Individual game durations are not published.
Sitting it soon? TestSolve reads each question off your screen and shows the worked answer, over 90% correct on our own practice tests.
Criteria reports an overall percentile plus subscores for problem solving, numerical reasoning and verbal knowledge. The gameplay-to-score conversion and any error penalties are unpublished. Criteria's report guide labels the 80th percentile and above as above average; it is not a pass mark.
No free test on this page. Our spatial reasoning and abstract reasoning free tests practise the underlying reasoning behind Grid Lock and Resemble; nothing we can build practises Numbubbles, Proof It or the games' timing.
About ten minutes plus tutorials on the current three-game version; about twenty on the older six-game battery.
You can practise the reasoning and the arithmetic. The game interaction itself only exists inside the test; be suspicious of anything sold as a Cognify simulator.
Criteria's own guide calls the 80th percentile and above above average. Employers set their own thresholds.
Where a value above is marked as reported or inferred, the publisher has not confirmed it. Nothing on this page reproduces a test item.
