Free Korn Ferry Assessment Practice Tests: Sample Questions & Full Answers
Updated: 17th Nov, 2025 | Trusted by over 12,400 Candidates
Korn Ferry is an executive search firm and one of the world's leading publishers of pre-employment tests. Korn Ferry assessments, such as the KF4D and Talent Q, are utilised by various prominent employers for screening and vetting candidates.
Often, a company will use more than one Korn Ferry assessment in its recruitment process.
That's why we've put together this Korn Ferry Practice Test, combining questions from four of KF's most ubiquitous exams: KFALP, KF4D, Talent Q Elements, and Talent Q Aspects.

Korn Ferry Leadership Assessments (KFALP/KF4D)
Despite having both personality and cognitive ability tests in its catalogue, Korn Ferry's reputation as a testing company is strongly tied to its leadership exams.
We'll start by sampling the Korn Ferry leadership tests. First, let's understand how they differ from one another.
- KF4D - the Korn Ferry 4 Dimensions is given to candidates with a specific role in mind. The test aims to evaluate their fit for that role. It is present-focused.
- KFALP - the Korn Ferry Assessment of Leadership Potential is more future-facing. It is designed to identify employees who have the potential to advance beyond their current role in the future.

KF4D - Job Profile Section
Tip: Understanding Forced Choice
The purpose of the Job Profile question is to compare your idea of the ideal profile for the role with the employer's idea.
So why not just ask: "What qualities are important for the role"?
Korn Ferry tends to use forced-choice questions for many of its personality and leadership assessments. A forced-choice format is one that compels you to choose between two equally desirable or equally undesirable choices. This effectively neutralises your ability to list off positive traits - every trait you select comes with a tradeoff. You must reveal your true priorities.
You can find forced choice in the Individual Exercises section further down this test, as well as other personality tests like the OPQ.
KFALP - Raven's Progressive Matrices
The KFALP is not a cognitive assessment, but it does feature one cognitive task:
Raven's Progressive Matrices is a long-standing task designed to measure inductive reasoning and pattern recognition. Korn Ferry believes capacity for logical reasoning is a predictor of leadership potential.
This section of the KFALP features 23 questions and is timed at 40 minutes (approx. 2 minutes per question)

Question #4
Observe the following matrix:
Which figure completes the matrix?
Answer
The correct answer is:
The entire image consists of thin black horizontal stripes separated by thicker white horizontal stripes. This leaves two choices. Since we can see that there are three horizontal black stripes on each side of the missing piece, the correct answer should also have only three horizontal black stripes.
Question #5
Observe the following matrix:
Which figure completes the matrix?
Answer
The correct answer is:
Each image in the first two rows is a combination of a circle, a big X, and four corner dots combined with a square, a cross made of ovals, and a cross made of triangles. Thus, the third image in the bottom row must be the combination of the shape missing from the first group and the shape missing from the second group.
KF4D and KFALP - Job Analysis Questions
This section examines your work experience and the character traits, values, and behaviours you have encountered during your current and past roles. To answer each question, you will have to rate, on a 1-9 scale, the extent to which your current job involves each one of the characteristics.
KF4D – Individual Exercises
What Drives You Sample Question
Rank the following motivators from most important to you to least important to you:
Taking on high-visibility roles that maximise my impact and influence
Working primarily in a collaborative way, sharing responsibility and relying on social behaviour for success
The freedom to pursue an entrepreneurial approach and establish my own professional rules and methods
Seeking work-related projects that require depth and specialised knowledge/skill.
Where Do You Excel Sample Question
Rank the following motivators from most important to you to least important to you:
I rarely take the time to reflect on my own strengths and weaknesses.
I am skilled at managing highly emotional disagreements between team members.
I enjoy seeking out radically different ways to approach complex problems.
I find it easy to stick to organisational rules and standardised processes.
Question #10
Who Are You?
In each of the following eight questions, 4 tabs will appear when you must rank them in the following order:
1 = Most like me
2 = Somewhat like me
3 = Slightly like me
4 = Nothing like me
Try to answer honestly and openly, thinking about the qualities that most characterize you and standing out to others and to yourself. Staying consistent and ranking similar questions following the same values is important.
Answer
Since "'who are you" is an individual question, the rating in the explanation is just a recommendation based on the values of Korn Ferry and the leading values associated with leadership.
Therefore, even if your rating differs, you should read the explanation of the question to determine what are the important values that should be considered.
Our recommended rating:
- Considering my strengths and weaknesses from others is valuable to me: Having self-awareness and being open to feedback and insights is what makes effective leaders. Taking this statement as the highest ranking reflects a willingness to evaluate one's strengths and weaknesses from others' perspectives, aligning with leadership values.
- Other people are not more important or better than me: Collaborative leadership, teamwork, and acknowledging the value of others are among the values of leadership. Despite the importance of self-confidence, this statement suggests a lack of appreciation for others, which is less aligned with leadership values, placing it in the second position.
- Working alone allows me to accomplish more than working with others: As a leader, oftentimes, effective delegation, teamwork, and the use of others' strengths are important. However, this statement implies a preference for individual work, which may be less aligned with collaborative leadership values.
- It is more comfortable for me to be alone than with other people: While solitude can benefit introspection, effective leaders often thrive in social interactions and building relationships. It suggests a preference for isolation, which is less aligned with leadership values emphasizing effective communication and interpersonal skills, making it the least aligned of the statements provided.
What makes the Korn Ferry Leadership Assessment Unique?
The Korn Ferry Leadership Assessment is a test like no other in terms of format and content. Unlike most personality tests, which place questions on a classic questionnaire, the KFLAP and KF4D ask you to answer various questions in an interactive environment, making them much harder to complete. Having a good understanding of the test format, how the answers are reflected, and what qualities should be emphasized are all important factors when preparing for the exam.
Furthermore, the final part of the Korn Ferry Leadership Assessment is the Ravens Questions. These questions are cognitive– which assess Logical Inductive Reasoning abilities. Despite not necessarily being part of the personality portion of the test, the questions are a crucial part of the KFALP and KF4D tests – and you should prepare for them as much as for the personality questions. In these types of questions, you will be presented with a patterned background with a portion cut out. Your task is to identify the missing cutout from a series of six possible options. Let's continue to the next section.
Congratulations! You have completed our first Korn Ferry Test - the Korn Ferry Leadership Assessment. However, the personality (and some inductive) preparation is as much as half of the Korn Ferry exam. We will now cover the Korn Ferry Talent-Q Elements and Aspects questions – which are the central cognitive portion of the exam. We will begin with the Numerical questions – as we will cover both Elements and Aspects questions, how they differ, and the required skills to succeed in the test.
Let's begin the Talent Q Free Test.
Korn Ferry Numerical Test (Talent Q)
Elements Numerical:
Table: Reports Given to 18-Years Old Drivers
Type A - £300 Type B - £200 Type C - £100
Question # 1
What was the average fine amount for the month of April across all traffic offenses? (in £)
| A. 200 | F. 207 | M.214 |
| B. 201 | G. 208 | N. 215 |
| C. 202 | H. 209 | O. 216 |
| D. 203 | I. 210 | P. 217 |
| E. 204 | J. 211 | Q. 218 |
| F. 205 | K. 212 | R. 219 |
| G. 206 | I. 213 | S.220 |
Answer
The correct answer is F. £207.
This question requires calculating a weighted average. This can be done in a few steps:
1. Sum up the percentage of offences (for the month of April) for each type of offence:
Type A: 15% + 9% + 7% = 31%
Type B: 13% + 13% + 19% = 45%
Type C: 2% + 22% = 24%
2. Multiply each percentage by the amount of the fine:
Type A: 31% x 300 = £93
Type B: 45% x 200 = £90
Type C: 24% x 100 = £24
3. Sum up the amounts of each fine to arrive at the weighted average amount of fines:
£93 + £90 + £24 = £207
Alternatively, after the first step, you can multiply the percentages of each type by 25 million (the number of tickets in April) to get the number of tickets received in this month for this type of offence.
Type A: 0.31 x 25 = 7.75 million
Type B: 0.45 x 25 = 11.25 million
Type C: 0.24 X 25 = 6 million
Then, multiply the number of tickets, which was calculated before, by the fine for each type:
Type A: 7.75 x 300 = 2,325 million
Type B: 11.25 x 200 = 2,250 million
Type C: 6 x 100 = 600 million
To find the average fine, sum up the number of tickets (25) and divide by the total amount of tickets.
Note: For simplifying reasons, it is recommended to do the calculations in the smallest units possible, as shown in this explanation. In the last step, the millions cancel down.
Question # 2
Which offence generated the second highest revenue for the month of May?
| A. Drunk-driving | E. Driving in dangerous manner |
| B. Speeding | F. Using a mobile phone |
| C. Failure to stop at a sign | G. Failing to comply with traffic light signals |
| D. Not wearing a seatbelt | H. Stopping in a prohibited area |
Answer
The correct answer is speeding.
To save time, since all fine types are percentages of the same total number of tickets (27.5 million), you can eliminate that part of the calculation to determine which fines generated more quickly the most revenue:
Type A:
Drunk-driving: 0.07 x 300 = £21
Speeding: 0.12 x 300 = £36
Driving in a dangerous manner: 0.1 x 300 = £30
Type B:
Failure to stop at a stop sign: 0.07 x 200 = £14
Not wearing a seatbelt: 0.2 x 200 = £40
Using a mobile phone: 0.16 x 200 = £32
Type C:
Failing to comply with traffic light signals: 0.08 x 100 = £8
Stopping in a prohibited area: 0.20 x 100 = £20
The offense that generated the second-highest revenue for the month of May was speeding.
Aspects Numerical
Question #3
The price of one text message in zone 3 equals what percent of the price per one-minute call in zone 3?
- 35%
- 5%
- 3%
- 30%
- 80%
- 13%
Answer
The price of a call per minute in zone 3: £1.65
The price of a text message in zone 3: £0.50.
The relative price of a text message out of the total price of a call per minute in zone 3 is: 0.50/1.65= 30%
Numerical questions in the Korn Ferry Test most often include graphs and tables, which must be analysed quickly so you can perform arithmetic operations to answer questions successfully. Because of the time pressure, trying and solving the question first is very tempting, but that can lead to misunderstanding the table and answering the question wrong. Our two most important tips for addressing Numerical questions in the Korn Ferry Test:
- Study the data: study the entire table carefully, learn the headings that tell you what the cells mean, and try to understand it before attempting to solve the question.
- Don’t use the answers: The number of possible answers ranges from a minimum of ten up to thirty or even more, all of them close to one another, so you can’t use the answers to reverse engineer the question, so refrain from attempting it and wasting your time.
Each question in both the Elements and Aspect has exactly 90 seconds to solve. Since this is a very short time – preparation, which is comprised of reading study guides, practising Numerical questions in the same format, and learning how to utilise the aforementioned tips and more, is crucial. Study guides and hundreds of Korn Ferry numerical test practice questions are found in our All-Inclusive Korn Ferry PrepPack.
You can also make use of our Talent Q Numerical PrepPack, which covers the mathematical Talent Q Tests.
The next Korn Ferry test we'll cover is the the Verbal questions. The Verbal questions are similar to the Numerical questions in format – you are presented with a short text (similar to the graphs and tables) and asked one or more questions regarding data in the text. However, the skills required (vocabulary, grammar, reasoning) are different; therefore, this section poses a new challenge. Let’s continue.

Korn Ferry Verbal Test (Talent Q)
Elements Verbal
Generation Without Frontiers
The current generation of young Europeans is the first to have grown up in a largely borderless and peaceful Europe, with all that implies in terms of mobility, multilingualism, and new cultural and economic opportunities. Whereas their parents and grandparents defined themselves along national lines, many young people today have added a European dimension to that description.
The EU’s Youth in Action program aims to inspire a sense of active European citizenship, solidarity, and tolerance, as there is still a certain measure of political disengagement among young Europeans. The program promotes non-formal learning and intercultural dialogue among European youth, as well as the inclusion of all young people, particularly those from less-privileged backgrounds. Its main goal is to bring young Europeans closer to the EU decision-shaping process by backing activities that encourage a sense of active European citizenship amongst them. Another important goal is promoting mutual understanding by giving young people from different countries the opportunity to meet and learn from one another through intercultural youth exchanges. In addition, The Youth in Action program encourages young people’s mobility within and beyond the EU borders, thus allowing them to expand their horizons and gain valuable life and work experiences.
(Adapted from Europa.eu)
Question #4
Which one of the following is an assumption made by the Youth in Action program?
- European youth are not mobile beyond the EU border.
- The perception of nationality has changed.
- European youth are privileged.
- The current generation acts much like their parents.
- European youth are narrow-minded.
- The older generation was politically disengaged.
Answer
The correct answer is B.
The question deals with an underlying assumption made by the Youth in Action program. To identify the correct assumption, we need to look at the rationale of the entire passage to see where and what is missing in its structure:
Introduction: the present generation lives in a different Europe than their parents did.
The Youth in Action program: aims to develop a new sense of European citizenship and involvement
What is missing here is a logical connection between the introduction and the detailing of Youth in Action goals. The introduction deals with a change in national identity between the former and current generations. The program focuses on creating a more multicultural Europe, working towards ‘active European citizenship’. Taking all this information together, it seems that the assumption behind Youth in Action is that the perception of nationality has changed (statement B). This is the logic behind the program, which aims to develop a new, multi-cultural, trans-European identity. Let's eliminate the remaining distracters:
A: Although the program promotes mobility within and beyond Europe’s borders, its premise is not grounded in the assumption that European youth do not leave their country’s borders. The same logic also helps eliminate distracter E -
E: Promoting mutual understanding and expanding horizons does not necessarily mean that Youth in Action assumes that European youth are narrow-minded.
C: The passage does not imply that European youth are privileged; therefore, there is no reason to assume this.
D: The introduction compares the current generation with their parent’s generation, emphasizing the differences between generations. Therefore, this is an incorrect assumption.
F: The passage states that: ’there is still a certain measure of political disengagement among young Europeans’. That is not to say that the older generation was politically disengaged. Therefore, this is not an assumption necessarily made by the Youth in Action program.
Question # 5
Which one of the following is NOT promoted by the Youth in Action program?
- Creating equal opportunities.
- Involvement in decision-making processes.
- Mutual understanding between people from different countries.
- Gaining new experiences.
- Developing a new European identity.
- Empathy towards the less privileged.
Answer
The correct answer is F.
The question deals with the Youth in Action program. Note that this is a negatively phrased question. This means that we need to identify 5 objectives promoted by the Youth in Action program and 1 that is not. Let us eliminate distracters by finding the corresponding sections in the passage:
a. Furthered - ’as well as the inclusion of all young people, particularly those from less-privileged backgrounds’.
b. Furthered - ’its main goal is to bring young Europeans closer to the EU decision-shaping process by backing activities that encourage a sense of active European citizenship’.
c. Furthered - ’another important goal is promoting mutual understanding…’
d. Furthered -’…thus giving them the opportunity to expand their horizons and gain valuable life and work experiences’.
e. Furthered - ’The EU’s Youth in Action program aims to inspire a sense of active European citizenship’ (together with the logic of the introduction)
f. Empathy towards the less privileged – not mentioned in the passage.
Empathy is the ability to experience another person's feelings, to put yourself in their place (unlike sympathy, which means caring for the troubles of others). Such an emotional experience is not something the passage mentions.
The only statement that is not an objective furthered by the Youth in Action movement is statement F.
Aspects Verbal
Question #6
Read the following passage and answer the question:
Based on the text, which of the following is definitely correct?
Answer
The correct answer is A.
To conclude which of the statements is definitely correct, we must locate them in the text and find which of them is explicitly mentioned there:
- The passage begins with the words: ”Lots of people start running in their 30s or older…” corresponding with this distracter and confirming it as correct.
- While it is true that Jack Foster received a medal for his running achievements, we don't actually know whether older runners receive more medals than younger runners. This is not necessarily a correct statement.
- The second paragraph describes two types of runners: people who like to participate in races and those who like to run without competing. It does not, however, compare the number of runners per category. Thus, this distracter is not necessarily correct.
- Again, similar to distracter b, we do not have information regarding the qualifications of younger versus older runners, and therefore this distracter is also not necessarily correct.
Verbal questions in the korn ferry Talent-Q test include a short text – which is mostly longer for Elements, a set of up to three questions relating to it with different responses. It required Reading Comprehension Skills and different verbal abilities (such as grammar, reasoning and more). We recommend following those essential tips for addressing Verbal questions in the Talent-Q test:
- Broad Examination of the text. Generally, this sort of question demands a comprehensive examination of the text. Each item may address broad parts of the passage.
- Comprehension is key. This format primarily focused on reading comprehension skills, which may reflect a more accessible difficulty level for some.
- In most cases, it is simple to eliminate at least three of the six answer choices.
Practice Under Time Pressure
Time restriction is one of the biggest challenges in the Korn Ferry Cognitive Tests (Numerical, Verbal, Logical, etc).
Most of the questions are solvable for nearly anyone with basic mathematics, grammar, and reasoning knowledge. However, to succeed in this test, you must be able to answer quickly and efficiently, as batches of questions are presented one after the other. The verbal section, for example, has 75 seconds to answer the first question of each new text and 60 seconds for the following questions.
For a price starting at £39, you can find solving tips and extensive practice of the exact format of the questions, which can guarantee improvement before the test if you wish to succeed among your peers.

Next, we will cover the Elements Logical questions. The Logical questions in the Korn Ferry tests are very similar to the Raven questions in the Korn Ferry Leadership Assessments – both being matrices, and the objective is to identify the patterns and solve them accordingly. However, the Elements Logical question is more versatile in the location of the missing piece in the matrices. Let’s look at an example.
Korn Ferry Talent-Q Elements - Logical
Question #7
Can you identify the missing shape?
Answer
The correct answer is alternative F.
What pops up: The top cell in each column is a mirror image of the bottom cell (and the left cell in each row is a mirror image of the right cell). Following this logic, the correct answer must be alternative F.
The complete Explanation: All the symbols in the left and right (i.e., outer) cells are different parts of a cross symbol (┼). In each row, the symbol in the middle cell is a combination of the symbols from the outer cells so that the middle symbol consists of a duplication of the overlapping part of the outer symbols (e.g. in the top row - the upper part of the vertical line; in the middle row - the entire vertical line).
Thus, the missing symbol must share a part with the right symbol in its row, which should be the lower vertical line.
Logical questions in the korn ferry test include matrices – and the missing figure changes in position – making the questions more challenging. To deal with these questions, here are a few useful tips:
- Always start by quickly scanning the matrix, both the rows, and columns, to see if anything draws your attention.
- A row or a column may contain more than one type of movement or pattern.
- Once you sense you recognised a pattern, ensure it applies to all the figures - row AND column patterns. Then look for an answer that presents the next step following that pattern.
You have 75 seconds to answer an Elements Logical question. Practising the Raven and Elements Logical questions will enable you to identify patterns and solve matrices questions quickly. Study guides and hundreds of Talent-Q-specific logical practice questions are found in our All-Inclusive Korn Ferry PrepPack .
Next, we will cover the Aspects Checking questions. The checking questions are tricky, requiring attention to detail and focusing on short time frames. Let’s proceed to an example.
Korn Ferry Checking Questions (Talent Q Aspects)
Question #8
Compare 'column 1' with 'column 2' on each row:
- If they are identical, mark the green box (under the √ symbol).
- If they are different, mark the red box (under the X symbol).
Answer
Row 1: W8047-07217-20925 W8047-02712-20925
Row 3: L9059-45309-13894 L9059-45309-18394
Row 5: R3831-60969-42141 R3831-60696-42141
Checking questions will test your ability to remain calm, focused and pay attention to small details that are often quite difficult to find. You have 60 seconds for each Aspect Checking questions and working methodically is the best way to address these questions. You can find additional practice with increasing difficulty levels of Aspects Checking questions in our All-Inclusive Korn Ferry PrepPack .
Finally, we will cover the Korn Ferry Situational Judgement questions. Both your values and personality are usually measured in the assessments, using different formats of questions and abilities than presented so far. Let’s look at a few examples.
Korn Ferry Talent-Q – Situational Judgement
Question #9
Your team is well behind on deadlines. Everyone is trying, working fast, and staying extra hours to close the gap. Coffee breaks are minimal as people try to stay at their desks and work. After a team meeting about the subject, Donald, the newest team member, apologizes to you and says that due to his inexperience, he isn't meeting deadlines and feels that he is keeping the team behind and is letting you down.
Which are the best and worst responses to begin with?

Answer
Best response: D
Worst response: C
In this scenario, you have a team which is under stress and an employee who is feeling guilty and unhelpful. Your goal is to find a response that addresses these factors, namely one that will help the employee feel more competent without hindering the team’s efforts.
Encouraging the employee (response A) could make him feel better, but it may miss the core issue if the employee indeed has trouble with some of his tasks. This response is appropriate, and it would have been even more accurate if you had chosen to do this and not taken further action because of the tight schedule.
Taking off some of Donald’s workload (response B) doesn’t help any of your goals. In fact, it’s counterproductive. You lose Donald’s help—however small—in meeting deadlines, and you make Donald feel incompetent by choosing to give up on his work. This response lacks persistence and optimism.
Assigning a team member to tutor Donald (response C) is a good idea in general. However, in the current situation, you would be putting an additional task on one of your other employees. This response shows flawed decision-making. Because eventually this response would be the most harmful to the current team effort, it is considered the worst response.
Determining the employee’s difficulties (response D) is the first step in deciding how to move forward. For example, you can correct him if you see that he has some misunderstandings about work procedures, decide to wait until the pressure is off and then tutor him, or assign him different tasks for a while. Discussing the problem shows good decision-making. It also aims to encourage the employee’s development. This response was chosen as the best.
Discussing the matter in a team meeting (response E) could be beneficial if done properly. However, this response is not the best as it doesn’t provide an immediate solution to the problem. Moreover, the discussion is meant to find a solution to the problem of working with new employees in general, but it doesn’t include an attempt to understand Donald’s specific situation.
Question #10
You notice that Ron, one of your employees, is working slower this week. He seems unfocused and is less productive than usual. When you speak to him about it, he says that he is having a hard week due to personal problems.
What are the best and worst responses in this situation?
|
Discuss ways to make work hours easier and help him focus with Ron. |
Best |
Worst |
|
Show empathy for Ron’s feelings and remind him that he still has to make sure he completes his responsibilities. |

Refer Ron to the HR department. You are responsible for work productivity; they are the people who are qualified to handle the situation and help him get back to work as usual. |
Best |
Worst |
|
Let this week slide. Everyone has bad days. Be patient, and it will probably pass. |
Best |
Worst |
Answer
Best response: A
Worst response: C
This is a question about handling employees’ personal needs. Like everyone else, your employees have personal lives that may sometimes affect their work. Employees’ personal matters should be handled with sensitivity. You want to be caring and helping as much as possible, without giving an inquisitive feeling.
Discussing ways to help the employee (response A) shows an understanding of your employee’s situation and a willingness to help. You use creative problem-solving and adapt to your employee’s needs. This also shows understanding that work affects employees’ personal lives just as much as their personal lives affect their work (responsibility for subordinates). This is the best response.
Response B shows less adaptability, yet it’s still appropriate. In some positions and situations, you don’t have the option to be as flexible as in response A. However, since you are taking a test, you are asked to consider a general situation. Response A represents important competencies which response B doesn’t.
Response C seems cold. It creates the impression that your function is only to supervise your employees’ productivity, and it neglects your responsibility for them. Notice that the action itself—referring the employee to the HR department—is not bad in and of itself, but the rationale behind it, as presented in the answer choice, doesn’t show empathy and respect for your employee and lacks any consideration of your relationship with him. Thus, this response was chosen as the worst.
Response D is another response that could be appropriate in some situations, but generally it’s not ideal. Most importantly, in the test's context, what this response is actually saying is 'do nothing'. This response doesn’t show any competency. As response C creates damage (it hurts your relationship with your employee), while response D does not seem to have any particular effect at this point, response C was chosen as the worst.
The SJT questions are quite unique – as they are answered according to the values of Korn Ferry, as well as for the position the candidate is applying for. In the given examples and in the test, you must think about the competencies that make up a great employee and answer accordingly. You will occasionally contemplate between answers which seem either as ‘good’ or as ‘bad’. Therefore, prior practice while learning the competencies and how to use them in SJT questions is crucial. You can find SJT guides and questions for both graduates and manager rules in our All-Inclusive Korn Ferry PrepPack.
