Deductive Reasoning or Syllogism:
Deductive reasoning originates from the philosophy and mathematics and is the most obvious form of reasoning. Deduction is a method for applying a general rule (major premise) in specific situations (minor premise) of which conclusions can be drawn.
Example:
Major premise: All humans are mortal
Minor premise: Socrates is human
Conclusion: Socrates is mortal
Immediately the obviousness and straightforwardness of the conclusion can be drawn from the premises above of the example of deductive reasoning. Notice that deductive reasoning no new information provides, it only rearranges information what is already known into a new statement or conclusion.
Prepare in Advance:
Deductive reasoning tests measure your ability to make logical arguments and come up with sound conclusions based on given data as well as identifying flaws in a given piece of information. These abilities are extremely important at work and employers will be keeping a close eye on the results of these tests. In order to perform well, practice is essential. Becoming familiar with the structure of the test brings confidence, which in turn brings about improved test performance. We made sure to include popular deductive reasoning tests in our verbal reasoning practice packs.
