Every company starts the assesment of the candidates with an aptitude test.Aptitude tests
measure your skills, abilities, values, interests and personality in order to help you determine
which careers you might be best suited for and eliminate those that you are not.Aptitude tests
designed to measure your capacity to perform in a particular way. They include aptitudes for
manual dexterity and speed, mechanical ability, spatial awareness, reasoning, abstract
reasoning, clerical work, and your numerical and verbal skills.
These test your logical reasoning or thinking performance; they are not tests of general
knowledge or intelligence. Administered under exam conditions and strictly timed, a typical test
might allow 30 minutes for 30 or more questions.
Often presented in multiple-choice format, the questions have definite right and wrong answers,
and as you go through the test, the questions may become more difficult; you may find that there
are more questions than you can comfortably complete in the time. It does not matter if you do
not finish the test (although you should complete as many questions as possible); it is the
number of correct answers which counts. Be aware that some tests are subject to 'negative
marking' – whereby incorrect answers result in marks being deducted from your total of correct
answers.
Your score is then compared with the results of a 'norm group' which has taken the tests in the
past. This norm group could comprise other students/graduates or current job holders or be a
more diverse grouping. Selectors are then able to assess your reasoning skills in relation to
others and to make judgments about your ability to cope with the tasks involved in a given job.
The validity of such tests rests on how closely they assess the abilities relevant to that job. A
large number of tests are produced, but the most common ones used in graduate recruitment
are:
Verbal reasoning (tests of reasoning with written information)
Numerical reasoning (tests of reasoning with numbers, charts and graphs)
Diagrammatic or spatial reasoning (tests of reasoning with abstract figures)
