ADA-compliance for abstract reasoning testing

Hello, I work for a company that offers various types of content development work and manage a large freelancer database. As part of that database, we ask -- but do not require -- freelancers to take several different types of abstract reasoning tests so that we can help to better match up freelancers to projects. We are trying to come up with a way to make these types of tests accessible and ADA-compliant. It is NOT mandatory for freelancers to take these tests to be a part of the database, but those who have results in our database would benefit more than those freelancers who do not. These tests are often heavily visual and I assume that just offering alt-text will not truly suffice as I imagine there are better ways to approach abstract reasoning testing for visually impaired users. Does anyone have any recommendations for the best way to approach accessibility/ADA-compliance with abstract reasoning tests?

Thank you for any guidance or direction anyone can offer!
best,
Danielle
