Lufthansa Online Assessment: Tests, Questions

What is the Lufthansa online assessment?

Lufthansa uses online tests for some vacancies, not for every application. The modules are chosen for the position and can cover numerical, linguistic, analytical, English, concentration or workplace-situation skills.

That matters because there is no sensible reason to prepare every Lufthansa test you can find. First check the invitation in the Career Cockpit. It tells you which assessment has actually been assigned.

Lufthansa also states that relevant test results can sometimes be reused across later applications, which is another reason two candidates applying at the same time may not receive the same test invitation.

Lufthansa online tests at a glance

Possible assessment area	Main skill evaluated
Numerical reasoning	Interpreting figures, percentages, ratios, tables and charts
Linguistic reasoning	Understanding written information and drawing valid conclusions
Analytical comprehension	Identifying rules, relationships and logical structures
Complex thinking	Combining several rules or pieces of information
Work situations	Choosing effective responses to realistic professional scenarios
English	Grammar, vocabulary, reading and practical communication
Concentration	Maintaining attention while processing repetitive information
Checking accuracy	Comparing codes, schedules, names or numerical details
Arithmetic	Completing calculations quickly and accurately

This table is a preparation framework.

It does not mean that every Lufthansa applicant receives every test.

Where does the online assessment fit in the recruitment process?

A typical Lufthansa recruitment sequence may include:

1. finding a suitable vacancy;
2. creating a Career Cockpit account;
3. completing the online application;
4. uploading the required documents;
5. application screening;
6. receiving an online-test invitation;
7. completing the assigned tests;
8. attending a telephone, video or personal interview;
9. attending a selection day or assessment centre;
10. receiving the recruitment decision.

The online assessment usually follows the initial application stage.

It may be used to determine whether the candidate should progress to:

• a telephone interview;
• a video interview;
• a personal interview;
• a selection day;
• an assessment centre;
• another role-specific stage.

Passing the online tests does not guarantee a job offer.

The result is normally considered together with other evidence such as:

• qualifications;
• professional experience;
• language ability;
• interview performance;
• assessment-centre behaviour;
• role-specific requirements.

The complete application sequence is explained in the Lufthansa recruitment process guide.

Does every Lufthansa applicant take an online test?

No.

Lufthansa’s general recruitment guidance states that online tests are used only when they are relevant to the position.

A candidate may not receive an online-test invitation because:

• the position does not require online testing;
• results from a previous Lufthansa application are being reused;
• the application does not satisfy the initial functional requirements;
• required application information remains incomplete;
• the recruitment process uses another assessment method.

Do not assume that the absence of a test invitation is automatically a technical error.

Check:

• the Career Cockpit;
• the application status;
• the vacancy;
• previous Lufthansa test history;
• outstanding actions.

Which Lufthansa Group companies use online tests?

Online assessments may be used across different Lufthansa Group companies and professional areas.

Possible employers include:

• Deutsche Lufthansa;
• Lufthansa Technik;
• Lufthansa Cargo;
• Lufthansa CityLine;
• Lufthansa City Airlines;
• another Lufthansa Group company.

The presence and content of testing depend on the vacancy rather than the Lufthansa name alone.

For example:

• a commercial role may include numerical and analytical reasoning;
• a customer-facing role may include English and work situations;
• an administrative role may include checking accuracy;
• a technical role may include analytical or role-specific testing;
• an apprenticeship may use a broader aptitude battery.

Do not assume that a test reported for one Lufthansa company applies to another.

How do you receive the test invitation?

When an application requires online testing, the candidate may receive access through the Career Cockpit.

The invitation can explain:

• which tests must be completed;
• the completion deadline;
• technical requirements;
• expected duration;
• whether breaks are allowed;
• how to access practice instructions;
• what to do after a technical problem.

The application status may appear as requiring completion until the tests are finished.

Monitor:

• the Career Cockpit;
• email inbox;
• spam folder.

Do not rely only on email.

Lufthansa online assessment deadline

Lufthansa’s general recruitment guidance can provide a limited period for completing the application and assigned tests.

The Career Cockpit should display the controlling deadline for your application.

Complete the assessment early enough to allow time for:

• technical checks;
• browser problems;
• internet failure;
• support requests;
• personal scheduling changes.

Do not assume that a deadline will be extended because you started the process late.

How long are Lufthansa online tests?

Lufthansa’s general guidance states that individual tests normally last no more than approximately 15 minutes.

The complete assessment may take longer because the candidate can receive:

• several tests;
• tutorials;
• practice examples;
• questionnaires;
• separate language modules.

An individual module may be short and highly timed.

The complete battery may therefore require a longer preparation window.

Reserve enough uninterrupted time even when the individual modules appear brief.

Can the assessment be completed in several sessions?

Lufthansa’s general guidance indicates that separate tests do not necessarily need to be completed in one continuous sitting.

A candidate may be able to take a break between individual modules.

However, once an individual test has started, it normally cannot be interrupted.

Before beginning a module:

• use the bathroom;
• silence notifications;
• close other applications;
• check the internet connection;
• connect the computer to power;
• make sure you will not be interrupted.

Do not launch a timed module simply to inspect its contents.

Is it normal not to finish every question?

Yes.

Lufthansa explains that online tests are timed for methodological reasons.

The time limit may be designed so that many candidates do not complete every question.

The objective is not necessarily to reach the final item.

Performance may depend on:

• correct answers;
• incorrect answers;
• number attempted;
• response speed;
• consistency;
• the scoring rules of the module.

Do not sacrifice all accuracy merely to complete more items.

Are incorrect answers penalised?

Lufthansa’s general online-test guidance indicates that, in many tests, incorrect responses can be deducted from correct responses.

The precise scoring method may vary between modules.

Read the instructions carefully.

Do not assume that:

• every unanswered question receives a penalty;
• every incorrect response receives the same penalty;
• random guessing is always beneficial;
• skipping is always permitted.

Your strategy should follow the rules shown in the official test.

Are Lufthansa test results reused?

Yes.

Lufthansa states that relevant online-test results may be reused for later applications.

The tests are intended to evaluate general abilities rather than knowledge that should change rapidly.

If the tests required for a new position have already been completed, the candidate may not receive another invitation.

This means that:

• an immediate retake may not be offered;
• the result can affect more than one application;
• each official attempt should be treated seriously;
• deliberately performing poorly to “see the questions” is a bad strategy.

Can you retake the Lufthansa online assessment?

A voluntary immediate retake should not be assumed.

Retesting can depend on:

• whether previous results are still valid;
• the position;
• the module;
• current Lufthansa policy;
• whether a technical failure occurred;
• whether another test profile is required.

If a technical problem affects the assessment, use the official support process.

Do not create another account or submit duplicate applications to obtain a new attempt.

Does Lufthansa use personality tests?

Lufthansa’s general online-test guidance states that it does not use a universal online personality test in this process.

The company explains that social competencies can be evaluated more effectively through methods such as:

• interviews;
• role plays;
• group discussions.

A work-situation test is not necessarily a personality questionnaire.

A situational exercise evaluates responses to professional scenarios.

A personality questionnaire generally asks about stable preferences or behavioural tendencies.

Role-specific processes may still include other behavioural methods, so your invitation remains the controlling source.

Lufthansa numerical reasoning test

Numerical reasoning evaluates whether you can interpret and use quantitative information accurately.

Possible content includes:

• basic arithmetic;
• fractions;
• decimals;
• percentages;
• ratios;
• proportions;
• averages;
• tables;
• charts;
• currency calculations;
• time calculations;
• unit conversion.

The context may involve:

• passenger figures;
• schedules;
• departmental results;
• costs;
• sales;
• staffing;
• operational data.

Advanced mathematics is not necessarily required.

The main challenge is applying basic rules correctly under time pressure.

Original numerical example 1: Percentage

The following example is original and is not taken from an official Lufthansa test.

A customer-service team handled 640 enquiries.

If 85% were resolved on the same day, how many were resolved?

Calculate:

640 × 0.85 = 544

The answer is 544 enquiries.

Original numerical example 2: Percentage change

Passenger volume increased from 1,200 to 1,380.

First calculate the increase:

1,380 - 1,200 = 180

Then divide by the original amount:

180 ÷ 1,200 = 0.15

Convert to a percentage:

0.15 × 100 = 15%

The increase is 15%.

Original numerical example 3: Ratio

The ratio of full-time to part-time employees is 5:2.

If there are 140 employees in total, how many are part-time?

Total ratio parts:

5 + 2 = 7

Value of one part:

140 ÷ 7 = 20

Part-time employees:

2 × 20 = 40

The answer is 40.

Original numerical example 4: Average

Four teams processed:

• 84 requests;
• 96 requests;
• 105 requests;
• 115 requests.

Total:

84 + 96 + 105 + 115 = 400

Average:

400 ÷ 4 = 100

The average is 100 requests per team.

Original table example

Route	Scheduled passengers	Actual passengers
A	180	171
B	220	198
C	160	152

Question:

Which route had the largest numerical difference between scheduled and actual passengers?

• Route A: 180 - 171 = 9
• Route B: 220 - 198 = 22
• Route C: 160 - 152 = 8

The answer is Route B.

Numerical reasoning method

Use the following approach:

1. identify what the question asks;
2. locate the relevant values;
3. identify the required operation;
4. calculate;
5. check the unit;
6. compare the result with the options.

Do not begin calculating before understanding the question.

Common numerical mistakes

• calculating a percentage of the wrong value;
• reversing a ratio;
• ignoring the difference between percentage and percentage points;
• rounding too early;
• overlooking the unit;
• reading the wrong row or column;
• confusing total and average;
• rushing because the chart looks complicated.

Numerical preparation

Review:

• multiplication tables;
• division;
• fractions;
• percentages;
• ratios;
• averages;
• unit conversion;
• chart reading.

Build accuracy first.

Then practise under realistic time limits.

Lufthansa arithmetic test

Third-party Lufthansa assessment preparation sources discuss arithmetic exercises as part of some test profiles.

Arithmetic questions may involve:

• addition;
• subtraction;
• multiplication;
• division;
• percentages;
• fractions;
• simple equations.

The exact inclusion of a separate arithmetic test should not be assumed unless it appears in your invitation.

Original arithmetic examples

Example 1

48 × 7 = 336

Example 2

1,260 ÷ 9 = 140

Example 3

15% of 320 = 48

Example 4

3/5 of 250 = 150

These are original practice calculations.

Mental arithmetic strategy

Useful techniques include:

• splitting numbers;
• using compatible values;
• converting percentages into fractions;
• estimating before calculating;
• checking by reverse calculation.

For example:

18% of 250

Calculate:

• 10% = 25;
• 5% = 12.5;
• 3% = 7.5.

Total:

25 + 12.5 + 7.5 = 45

Lufthansa linguistic reasoning test

Linguistic reasoning evaluates whether you can understand written information and draw conclusions supported by the text.

A typical task may contain:

• a short passage;
• a statement;
• answer options.

The candidate may need to classify the statement as:

• true;
• false;
• cannot be determined.

The exact response labels may differ.

Original verbal reasoning example 1

Passage:

All employees assigned to international customer support must speak English. Some employees in international customer support also speak French.

Statement:

Every employee who speaks French works in international customer support.

The answer is cannot be determined.

The passage describes some support employees who speak French.

It does not state that every French-speaking employee works in that department.

Original verbal reasoning example 2

Passage:

The training session begins at 09:00. Participants who arrive after 09:10 cannot enter the first exercise.

Statement:

A participant arriving at 09:05 can enter the first exercise.

The answer is true, based on the information provided.

Original verbal reasoning example 3

Passage:

Employees may exchange shifts only after receiving approval from the team supervisor.

Statement:

Employees can exchange shifts without approval when both employees agree.

The answer is false.

Verbal reasoning method

Use this process:

1. read the statement;
2. identify the precise claim;
3. find the relevant information in the passage;
4. decide whether the passage proves it;
5. avoid adding outside knowledge.

Do not answer based on:

• what normally happens;
• what would be sensible;
• personal experience;
• information not provided.

Logical words to watch

Pay attention to words such as:

• all;
• some;
• none;
• only;
• always;
• never;
• may;
• must;
• unless;
• before;
• after.

A small change can alter the meaning completely.

Lufthansa analytical reasoning test

Analytical reasoning evaluates whether you can identify rules, relationships and valid arrangements.

Possible formats include:

• ordering tasks;
• scheduling;
• sequences;
• classifications;
• logical deductions;
• constraints;
• matching information.

Original analytical example 1

Four employees - A, B, C and D - must attend interviews in order.

Rules:

• A must appear before C;
• D must appear immediately after B;
• C cannot be first.

Which order is valid?

A - B - D - C

Check:

• A is before C;
• D is immediately after B;
• C is not first.

The order is valid.

Original analytical example 2

Three projects must be assigned to Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Rules:

• Project X must occur before Project Z;
• Project Y cannot occur on Tuesday.

Which schedule is valid?

• Monday: Y
• Tuesday: X
• Wednesday: Z

This schedule satisfies both rules.

Analytical reasoning method

1. write or identify every rule;
2. distinguish fixed rules from possibilities;
3. apply the most restrictive rule first;
4. eliminate impossible options;
5. verify every remaining rule.

Do not stop checking after one condition is satisfied.

Lufthansa complex-thinking test

Complex-thinking exercises may require candidates to combine several types of information at once.

The task may include:

• multiple conditions;
• changing values;
• dependencies;
• priorities;
• exceptions;
• several possible solutions.

The challenge is maintaining a structured approach under time pressure.

Original complex-thinking example

Five tasks must be scheduled.

Rules:

• Task A must be completed before Task D;
• Task B and Task C cannot be consecutive;
• Task E must be completed last;
• Task D cannot be second.

Possible sequence:

B - A - C - D - E

Check:

• A is before D;
• B and C are not consecutive because A is between them;
• E is last;
• D is not second.

The sequence is valid.

Complex-thinking strategy

Use a table or short notation where permitted.

Separate:

• mandatory order;
• prohibited combinations;
• fixed positions;
• conditional rules.

Apply fixed-position rules first.

Then apply ordering constraints.

Finally, verify the complete solution.

Lufthansa concentration test

Third-party Lufthansa assessment preparation sources discuss concentration exercises for certain roles.

Concentration tests can assess whether you maintain attention while processing large amounts of repetitive information.

Possible tasks include:

• detecting a target symbol;
• comparing codes;
• counting specific items;
• identifying changes;
• responding only when a rule is met.

The inclusion of a specific concentration module depends on your invitation.

Original concentration example

Respond only when the same letter appears twice in succession.

Sequence:

A - C - C - D - B - B - A

Targets occur at:

• C - C;
• B - B.

This example is original.

Concentration strategy

• understand the target rule;
• use a steady visual rhythm;
• avoid accelerating uncontrollably;
• return immediately after an error;
• do not look back unless permitted;
• maintain posture and breathing.

Common concentration mistakes

• responding to a near match;
• losing the rule after an error;
• speeding up too early;
• allowing one missed item to disrupt later performance;
• checking previous answers repeatedly.

Lufthansa checking-accuracy test

Checking-accuracy tests evaluate whether you can identify differences between similar information.

Possible content includes:

• names;
• numbers;
• flight references;
• dates;
• times;
• codes;
• schedules;
• transaction values.

Original checking example 1

Compare:

• LH-4728-K91
• LH-4728-K19

The references are different.

The final two digits are reversed.

Original checking example 2

Compare:

• 14 September 2026, 08:45
• 14 September 2026, 08:54

The times are different.

Original checking example 3

Compare:

• Meyer, Annika
• Meyer, Anika

The names are different.

The first version contains two consecutive n letters.

Accuracy strategy

Use a fixed comparison order.

For example:

1. beginning;
2. middle;
3. end;
4. numbers;
5. punctuation;
6. spacing.

Do not compare the entire string as one visual shape.

Lufthansa English test

An English test may be included when English is relevant to the role.

Possible areas include:

• grammar;
• vocabulary;
• reading comprehension;
• sentence completion;
• professional communication;
• listening;
• spoken English in a later interview.

Original grammar example

Choose the correct sentence:

A. The documents has been reviewed.
B. The documents have been reviewed.
C. The documents is reviewed yesterday.

The correct answer is B.

Original vocabulary example

Choose the word closest in meaning to “reliable”:

A. Dependable
B. Temporary
C. Expensive
D. Unclear

The correct answer is A.

Original reading example

Passage:

Applicants must upload all required documents before the application deadline. Incomplete applications will not proceed to the next stage.

Statement:

A candidate can submit missing documents after the deadline and still progress automatically.

The statement is false.

English preparation

Review:

• common grammar;
• professional vocabulary;
• reading speed;
• sentence structure;
• workplace expressions;
• listening comprehension.

Avoid memorising isolated advanced words.

Clear practical English is more useful.

Lufthansa work-situation test

Work-situation questions present realistic professional scenarios.

You may need to:

• choose the most effective action;
• choose the least effective action;
• rank responses;
• evaluate possible decisions.

Possible themes include:

• customer service;
• teamwork;
• conflicting priorities;
• procedural compliance;
• communication;
• escalation;
• workload;
• mistakes.

Original work-situation example 1

A customer asks for an immediate solution that you are not authorised to provide.

Possible actions:

A. Promise the solution to calm the customer.
B. Explain the limitation, identify an authorised colleague and provide a realistic next step.
C. Ignore the request because it is outside your authority.
D. Tell the customer that the rules are not your responsibility.

The strongest general response is B.

It combines:

• clear communication;
• service orientation;
• procedural compliance;
• practical support.

Original work-situation example 2

You discover a data-entry error in a report that has already been sent.

Possible actions:

A. Wait to see whether anyone notices.
B. Correct your personal copy only.
C. Inform the relevant person promptly, explain the error and provide the corrected information.
D. Blame the software.

The strongest general response is C.

Original work-situation example 3

Two colleagues ask for urgent assistance at the same time.

A suitable response would involve:

1. clarifying the urgency and consequences of each task;
2. prioritising the task with the greatest immediate impact;
3. communicating realistic timing;
4. involving another colleague where appropriate.

Work-situation principles

Strong responses often demonstrate:

• safety;
• legality;
• procedural compliance;
• customer awareness;
• communication;
• ownership;
• teamwork;
• proportionate escalation;
• realistic prioritisation.

Weak responses often involve:

• ignoring the issue;
• promising something impossible;
• breaking a rule for convenience;
• blaming others;
• escalating every minor issue immediately;
• acting without enough information.

How are social competencies assessed?

Lufthansa’s general guidance explains that many social competencies are better assessed through:

• interviews;
• role plays;
• group discussions.

This means that the online test may not be the only place where behaviour is evaluated.

A work-situation result can be combined with later evidence from:

• telephone interview;
• personal interview;
• assessment centre;
• group exercise;
• customer role play.

What technical equipment do you need?

Use a reliable computer unless the invitation explicitly permits another device.

Check:

• supported browser;
• operating system;
• screen size;
• internet connection;
• keyboard;
• mouse;
• audio equipment if required;
• webcam if required.

Complete any technical check before the deadline.

Computer preparation

Before beginning:

• install updates in advance;
• restart the computer;
• connect it to power;
• close unnecessary programs;
• disable notifications;
• remove browser extensions that may interfere;
• confirm that pop-ups are allowed where required.

Do not install major updates immediately before testing.

Internet connection

Use a stable private connection.

Avoid:

• public Wi-Fi;
• a congested shared network;
• unstable mobile tethering;
• locations where you may be disconnected.

Ask other users to avoid large downloads during your assessment.

Screen and browser

Check:

• browser zoom;
• display scaling;
• brightness;
• screen resolution;
• full-screen requirements.

Do not distort the interface by using unusual zoom settings.

Testing environment

Use a room that is:

• quiet;
• private;
• comfortable;
• well lit;
• free from interruptions.

Remove:

• mobile-phone notifications;
• messaging applications;
• alarms;
• television;
• music;
• unnecessary browser tabs.

Can you use a calculator?

Use a calculator only if the official instructions permit it.

Possible rules include:

• calculator prohibited;
• basic calculator permitted;
• on-screen calculator provided;
• paper calculations permitted.

The rules can differ between modules.

Do not assume that a calculator used during practice will be allowed officially.

Can you use paper and notes?

Follow the official instructions.

A module may:

• permit blank paper;
• permit a pen;
• prohibit written notes;
• provide an on-screen workspace.

Do not use prepared formulas or notes unless explicitly authorised.

What should you do after a technical problem?

If a technical problem occurs:

1. note the exact time;
2. record the test or module affected;
3. take a screenshot where permitted;
4. avoid repeatedly reopening the assessment;
5. contact the official technical-support route;
6. explain whether the timed section had started;
7. follow the instructions provided.

Do not create another account or ask another person to finish the test.

How is the Lufthansa online assessment scored?

Lufthansa does not publish one universal passing score for every test and position.

The scoring method can depend on:

• module;
• role;
• number correct;
• number incorrect;
• items attempted;
• response time;
• comparison group;
• position-specific benchmark.

A candidate should not assume that a fixed percentage found on a forum applies to every application.

Is there a Lufthansa online-test passing score?

No universal public passing score should be assumed.

Progression can depend on:

• the specific test profile;
• role requirements;
• performance across several modules;
• initial application quality;
• comparison with other applicants;
• current recruitment needs.

Aim for controlled accuracy and efficient performance.

How to prepare for the Lufthansa online assessment

Step 1: Identify the assigned tests

Use the official invitation.

Record:

• module names;
• deadline;
• expected duration;
• technical requirements;
• permitted materials;
• break rules.

Prioritise confirmed modules.

Do not spend most of your time preparing an unconfirmed test.

Step 2: Complete a baseline

Practise possible areas such as:

• numerical reasoning;
• verbal reasoning;
• analytical reasoning;
• checking accuracy;
• English;
• work situations.

Record:

• accuracy;
• completion rate;
• time per question;
• recurring mistakes;
• concentration loss.

Step 3: Learn the method

For each test, learn a repeatable method.

Examples:

• numerical: identify values, operation and unit;
• verbal: use only the passage;
• analytical: list and apply every rule;
• accuracy: compare in a fixed order;
• work situations: identify stakeholders, rules and priorities.

Step 4: Build accuracy

Complete untimed or lightly timed questions.

Correct:

• conceptual errors;
• arithmetic mistakes;
• misreading;
• weak comparison technique.

Step 5: Add time pressure

Once the method is stable:

• reduce the time limit;
• increase the question volume;
• use unfamiliar examples;
• practise uninterrupted modules.

Step 6: Review errors

Classify every mistake.

Possible categories include:

• misunderstood instruction;
• calculation error;
• selected wrong data;
• incorrect inference;
• missed rule;
• rushed response;
• attention lapse;
• language misunderstanding.

Step 7: Complete mixed practice

The official assessment may require switching between different mental tasks.

Complete sessions combining:

• numerical;
• verbal;
• analytical;
• accuracy;
• English;
• work situations.

Step 8: Reproduce test conditions

Use:

• the same computer;
• a quiet room;
• realistic timing;
• permitted materials only;
• no pausing during modules;
• no external assistance.

Four-week preparation plan

Week 1: Foundations

Focus on:

• arithmetic;
• percentages;
• ratios;
• reading comprehension;
• basic analytical rules.

Week 2: Accuracy

Focus on:

• tables;
• charts;
• checking codes;
• verbal inference;
• English grammar.

Week 3: Timing

Focus on:

• timed numerical tests;
• timed verbal tests;
• analytical reasoning;
• concentration;
• work situations.

Week 4: Simulation

Focus on:

• mixed modules;
• realistic deadlines;
• technical preparation;
• stable performance;
• light final review.

How much should you practise?

Quality matters more than extreme duration.

A useful session may include:

• 20 minutes of focused practice;
• a short break;
• 20 minutes of a second skill;
• error review.

Avoid completing many questions without reviewing mistakes.

The objective is not only to see more exercises.

It is to improve the method used to solve them.

How to manage time during the test

Read the instructions

Confirm:

• number of questions;
• time limit;
• navigation;
• penalty rules;
• whether skipping is allowed;
• whether answers can be changed.

Establish a steady pace

Do not spend excessive time on the first items.

Avoid one-question fixation

A difficult question can consume time needed for several easier items.

Use the navigation rules provided by the module.

Protect accuracy

The test may penalise incorrect responses.

Do not click randomly merely to increase the attempted total.

Reset between modules

When moving from numerical to verbal or analytical reasoning:

• take an allowed break;
• review the next instructions;
• reset your strategy;
• avoid carrying the previous response method into the new test.

What usually causes avoidable mistakes

Candidates often practise a long list of possible modules before checking what they were actually assigned. Others start too close to the deadline and discover a browser, login or connection problem when there is no time left to fix it.

Inside the tests, rushing is another common issue. Learn the task first, then work at the fastest pace that still keeps your reasoning reliable. If the instructions say unanswered items are possible, do not turn the final minutes into random guessing unless the scoring rules justify it.

What practice can help with

Practice can improve calculation fluency, reading discipline, pattern recognition, concentration and familiarity with timed interfaces. It can also show you whether your weak point is the underlying skill or simply time management.
