Talogy is the publisher formerly known as PSI Talent Management, and it owns Cubiks and Caliper. Its best-known test is Logiks, a short reasoning test, but employers can also send personality questionnaires, situational judgment tests and a gamified test called Mindgage. This page covers what the Talogy assessment is, its format and timings, how it is scored, the rules to know before you start, how to prepare and a practice plan.
What the Talogy assessment is
PSI bought Cubiks and Caliper in 2019 and renamed its talent business Talogy in March 2022. Your invitation may say Talogy, Cubiks, PSI or Logiks; it is the same family of tests, and prep sites report that test content did not change with the rebrand.
Format and timings
| Part | What it involves | Time and questions |
|---|---|---|
| Logiks General (Intermediate) | Verbal, numerical and abstract reasoning, each separately timed | Commonly reported: 50 questions in 12 minutes (24 verbal, 16 numerical, 10 abstract) |
| Logiks General (Advanced) | Harder version of the same areas | Within Talogy's official range of 20 to 50 items and 12 to 25 minutes |
| Single-area Logiks tests | Verbal, numerical or abstract only | Shorter, by version |
| Personality questionnaires (for example PAPI) | Work style and preferences | Untimed or loosely timed |
| Situational judgment and Mindgage | Scenarios and a gamified test | Set by the employer |
Total: 12 to 25 minutes for Logiks, according to Talogy; a full battery varies by employer.
How it is scored
- Scores are compared with a norm group; employers set cut-offs, which are not published.
- On sectioned Logiks versions, each section has its own short clock, so unanswered questions in one section cannot be made up later.
- Personality questionnaires describe preferences rather than right answers.
Rules to know before you start
- Talogy runs a free practice-tests site, linked from its candidate support page.
- Calculator rules are not stated on the official pages checked; follow the on-screen instructions.
- Logiks is offered in more than 15 languages.
- Retakes are up to the employer.
How to prepare
- Use Talogy's free practice site to learn the interface.
- Pace section by section on Logiks Intermediate: about four minutes each.
- Cubiks Logiks practice material applies, because it is the same test.
- Practice quick mental arithmetic for the numerical section.
A practice plan
- Day 1: read the employer's invitation for which tests you will take, then do the publisher's official practice questions untimed.
- Days 2 and 3: timed practice on your weakest test type, reviewing every mistake.
- Days 4 and 5: full timed runs in the same browser and device you will use.
- Day 6: rest, check your setup, and plan a quiet time slot.
- Day 7: take the test in one sitting, early in the deadline window.

On the day, and the mistakes to avoid
- Open the invitation early and note the deadline, the tests included and the time each takes.
- Use a laptop or desktop with a current browser, on a stable connection, with notifications silenced.
- Have paper, a pen and, if the instructions allow it, a calculator ready before you start.
- Read every instruction and example screen; formats differ more than people expect.
- Take the tests in a quiet room in one sitting, at a time of day when you are sharp.
- If something breaks, take a screenshot, note the time and contact the employer straight away.
Mistakes that cost candidates:
- Treating untimed or 'as many as you can' tests casually: speed and accuracy are usually both recorded.
- Bringing outside knowledge into reasoning items that must be judged only on the information given.
- Answering personality questions as the 'ideal' candidate instead of honestly, which shows up as inconsistency.
- Starting on a phone when the publisher recommends a computer.
- Leaving the test until the deadline, when any technical problem becomes fatal.
What happens after the Talogy assessment
Results usually go to the employer, who compares them with the profile for the role. Shortlisted candidates move on to a video interview, an assessment centre or a first interview, so start preparing for those while you wait. For the next stage, see our guide to online assessments.
Where CoPilot Interview fits
Online assessments are tests you take on your own: outside help is not allowed, and proctoring settings can flag other apps, tab switches or a second voice. Practice beforehand instead. CoPilot Interview is an AI interview assistant; its free AI mock interview prepares you for the interviews that follow the assessment, with questions built from your résumé and the job description and each spoken answer scored out of ten. The free plan gives 15 minutes a day of live help in sessions of up to 15 minutes, with AI mock interviews included. Read the invitation carefully and follow your employer's rules.
Disclosure: CoPilot Interview is our product, so weigh what we say about it accordingly.
Frequently asked questions
Is Talogy the same as Cubiks?
Yes. Talogy is the 2022 name for PSI Talent Management, which owns Cubiks and Caliper. Cubiks tests such as Logiks are now sold under the Talogy name.
How long is the Logiks test?
Talogy says 12 to 25 minutes and 20 to 50 items depending on the version. The commonly reported Intermediate general version has 50 questions in 12 minutes.
Can I go back in the Logiks test?
Sections are timed separately, so time left in one section does not carry over. Work steadily and keep moving.
Is there practice material from Talogy?
Yes. Talogy runs a free practice-tests site linked from its candidate support page.
Can I use AI tools during the Talogy assessment?
No, unless the instructions explicitly allow it. Assessments are meant to be taken on your own, and proctoring settings can flag other apps, tab switches or pasted code. Use AI tools to practice beforehand, and follow your employer's rules.
