Which area does NOT fall under the assessment categories of the CCAT?

The correct answer is B, as emotional reasoning is not one of the assessment categories included in the CCAT. The CCAT focuses on evaluating cognitive abilities that are critical in various aspects of problem-solving and decision-making in the workplace.

Numerical reasoning assesses an individual's ability to work with numbers, interpret data, and perform calculations. Verbal reasoning evaluates comprehension and reasoning using language, while abstract reasoning tests the ability to recognize patterns and logical relationships in visual information. These areas are specifically designed to measure skills that are directly related to job performance and cognitive aptitude, making them essential components of the CCAT. In contrast, emotional reasoning pertains more to emotional intelligence and interpersonal skills, which are not the focus of this particular cognitive assessment.
