How to Coose the Right Test
Select the right test for the job
For instance...
- Hiring for an entry level position.
- Promoting an existing employee.
- Assessing a senior employee’s skill sets.
Know what you want to measure
There are few one-size-fits-all assessments. Most tests are specific to a certain skill set, job role, or ability. There are also a wide range of assessment products available to help employers test for skills in customer service, retail, management, mechanical ability, honesty, dexterity, safety habits, office skills, computer skills and more. If you know what skills your employees require, then you know what type of tests you need to use to evaluate them.
Sometimes it is necessary to combine a number of tests to accurately measure everything that you want to test for.
Consider...
- What do I need to know about the applicant before I hire them?
- What skills must I ensure that they have before I offer them employment?
Example scenarios...
- To determine which one of several candidates would be a good team leader, administer a team leading or leadership skills test.
- When hiring for an entry level position, consider tests that measure honesty, tenure, attitudes towards supervision or reading/math ability.

Types of Tests
Basic Skills Tests

These tests measure things like...
- Microsoft Word

Intelligence and Personality Tests
Intelligence can be measured with respected testing instruments designed for the particular situation at hand, and in English and many foreign languages. Personality tests are designed to help assess aspects of a person's character that remain stable throughout that person's lifetime, the individual's character pattern of behavior, thoughts, and feelings. In other words, a person's "usual" or normal personality traits; the behaviours or values that make them who they are.
Although these tests are generally very accurate, personality tests are not usually recommended or legal for use as pre-hiring assessments. Most employment laws demand that only those skills that can be proven to be requirements for success in a particular position may be tested.
Other Types of Tests
360-Degree Tests measure one person’s perception of their various skill sets, compared against the perceptions of several other people that they work with or for. These tests can help determine where people can improve their skills and identify deficits.
Other tests include tests for high-security positions, cognitive reasoning, substance abuse, stress and burnout and many other things, including diagnostic and psychiatric tests for professional use in clinical and forensic settings.
