Cappfinity tests: strengths, numbers and critical reasoning, employer by employer

Cappfinity is known for situational strengths tests: workplace scenarios where you rank or rate possible responses. Prep sites describe a newer format with sliders and rankings, and an older one where you cannot give two answers the same rating. The employer decides which strengths count, so the "best" answer differs between firms.

The useful preparation is reading the employer's own values page and asking what each scenario is really testing, such as client focus or ownership. Answer as the person the firm describes, which works best when it is also an honest version of you.

Prep sites describe Cappfinity numerical tests as adaptive, with a varying number of questions and with time taken counting toward the result. Calculators are generally allowed. Law firms such as Ashurst and Macfarlanes add critical reasoning, judging arguments and conclusions in short passages.

Train the numbers with our numerical reasoning test, and for law firm critical reasoning read our law firm guide for how each firm uses it.

Zurich UK and Macfarlanes point candidates to the Cappfinity Preparation Hub. When an employer links a hub, use it first: it shows the real interface, which removes surprise on the day. Then use general practice for the underlying skills.

Linklaters' Hong Kong page says no preparation is required for its Capp Online assessment while also linking a preparation hub. That mix is common, and our no-preparation guide explains how to read it.

Capp assessments usually arrive with a completion window of several days. Ashurst, for example, gives seven days that include weekends. Start early in the window, so a technical problem does not become a missed deadline.

Find a quiet hour, use a laptop, and complete the untimed strengths parts with the same care as the timed ones. They are often scored as heavily.
