In looking at these results you need to focus on those areas in which you did best and try to capitalise on these as far as you can in your future education, training and job hunting. The sections below will give you more idea of what each of the individual DAT  \nresults mean and of how an understanding can help you in choosing a career you are suited to. However, your choice of career should not simply be based on what you are good at but also on what sort of work you enjoy.  \nWhat do the figures mean?  \nThe figures do not represent a percentage but instead indicate the percentile into which you fall. Put simply:  \n\"A score of 20 means you did better than or equal to 20% of boys your age in Ireland\"\"A score of 80 means you did better than or equal to 80% of boys your age in Ireland\"and so on.  \nExplain the different areas?  \n􀁸 Verbal Reasoning  \nAn average score means you should feel fairly comfortable working with ideas expressed in verbal form. You will probably also be reasonably good at expressing yourself in words.Verbal reasoning ability is important for any work involving the communication of ideas or the interpretation of written material. It can also be important for many kinds of work, in which analytical thinking is required. Areas of work in which these abilities are required are professional jobs ([e.g. lawyer](e.g. lawyer) , doctor, teacher), technological jobs ([e.g. engineer](e.g. engineer) , computer programmer), business (e.g. management, sales, marketing and advertising), scientific work and also many fields of  \nwork in which communication is of primary importance ([e.g. training](e.g. training) , work involving the production of written material and administrative positions) . It is also important to have fairly good verbal skills if you wish to undertake further training or study, especially in one of the more academic fields.  \n􀁸 Numerical Reasoning  \nNumerical ability is important for work in the technical professions such as science, engineering and architecture. It is also important for many jobs in business and finance (e.g. sales forecasting, banking, etc) and is very much needed for work in accounting. In the technical area, numerical ability is relevant to any sort of work in which calculations or precise measurements need to be made (for instance, surveying, joinery or laboratory work) . It is also important for many clerical or administrative jobs (e.g. local government, accounts administration, etc.) . Numerical ability is also needed for many courses of training and further study.  \n􀁸 Abstract Reasoning  \nThe Abstract Reasoning test measures a person’s ability to reason with abstract ideas. It is concerned with being able to perceive patterns among complex elements and to be able to see how those elements relate to each other. The ability to think in abstract terms is needed for work which involves seeing relationships between things: either in a logical sense or in a practical sense. It is therefore useful for fields such as computer programming and software design, mathematics, science and engineering. It can also be useful in areas such as technical maintenance, which involves understanding how parts of a machine or system relate to one another. Abstract reasoning is also important for working in the field of design, since design is often concerned with the expression of abstract ideas or themes. Finally, abstract reasoning can also be very important in management, especially at the higher levels where one needs to see how the different parts of a complex organisation fit together.  \n􀁸 Perception, Speed and Accuracy  \nThis test measures the ability to work accurately with detail and at speed. Such an ability is important in many kinds of routine or detailed work (clerical work, data entry or coding, for instance) and is a","cbCaijiXAAP2VfJ3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijiXAAP2VfJ3","pdf",247571,"English","# What do the figures mean?\n# Explain the different areas?\n## Verbal Reasoning\n## Numerical Reasoning\n## Abstract Reasoning\n## Perception, Speed and Accuracy\n## Mechanical Reasoning\n## Space Relations\n## Spelling\n## Language Usage","[{\"question\":\"Do the DAT DATS figures represent percentages or percentiles?\",\"answer\":\"The figures represent percentiles, not percentages.
