Cyber Analyst Interview Questions

4,772 cyber analyst interview questions shared by candidates

I have taken IQ and personality tests before, and believe I did very well on this one; perhaps with the exception of the word analogy section (bass is to bass as guitar is to...hominy? herring?...Not sure if we're shooting for letter count, fish that look like musical instruments, or what to be honest). The test involved disagree/agree problems for certain situations(If the CEO pushed an inefficient costly upgrade, would you mention/argue against it?), preferred actions (Would you rather go fishing or do your taxes?), math equations, math word problems, vocabulary synonym matching, and word analogy matching. No questions were open-ended.
