"Mechanical Comprehension Test"

Mechanical reasoning tests measure your knowledge of mechanical and physical concepts. They do not measure your underlying mechanical aptitude in the same way that abstract reasoning questions measure your underlying intellectual ability.

For example, you could sit an abstract reasoning test without having seen one before and still get a reasonable score. The same is not true of mechanical reasoning, where your score will depend significantly on your knowledge of:

- Levers
- Pulleys
- Gears
- Springs
- Simple Electrical Circuits
- Tools
- Arithmetic

You may have come across many of these topics in elementary science and the questions will seem fairly straightforward. If elementary science classes seem like a long time ago, then you'll need to refresh your memory.

This article also covers fault diagnosis questions which are used to select personnel for technical roles where they need to be able to find and repair faults in electronic control systems.
