What type of questions are included in the numerical section of the Wonderlic?

The numerical section of the Wonderlic primarily includes basic math and numerical reasoning questions. This is designed to assess a person's ability to handle everyday mathematical tasks and to interpret basic numeric information. The questions typically involve arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as simple problem-solving scenarios that require the application of these basic mathematical skills.

This focus ensures that the test evaluates practical numeracy skills relevant to real-world situations, which are important for various job roles in the healthcare field and beyond. By concentrating on foundational math concepts, the test can effectively gauge how well individuals can work with numbers in everyday contexts, making option B the clear, appropriate choice. Other types of questions, like advanced calculus, statistical analysis, or geometry, would involve higher levels of complexity and abstraction that are not aligned with the purpose of the Wonderlic's numerical section.
