The passage discusses diagrammatic reasoning tests which are used to assess analytical abilities for IT jobs. They involve following logical instructions or rules presented in diagrams.

Diagrammatic reasoning tests are used to select IT specialists who can analytically solve complex abstract problems. They mirror how analysts and programmers approach software design.

Diagrammatic reasoning questions typically show inputs, outputs, operators/processes using boxes and symbols to represent the components and their relationships.
