Aptitude testing

   When an applicant states "I can do that" or "I know how to run that", you must either test them or take their word. What happens if your new secretary can't run your word processor or your new computer salesperson doesn't know how to run explorer? You instantly have downtime and training expenses. The only sure way to know if the applicant has the knowledge you need is to test them.

  The custom aptitude test found in our employment testing system provides an easy way for anyone to test applicants or current employees on knowledge. The custom aptitude test is a multiple choice test that consists of up to 60 questions that you design. Each question may have up to 4 answers with individual scoring for each question.  You may assign a "most correct" answer and a "secondary most correct" answer for each question. A score is assigned to the most correct answer and 1/2 of that score is automatically assigned to the secondary answer.

  This method gives you the flexibility to create a test that will pinpoint what the applicant knows. The results are printed to a report which will show the questions the applicant answered incorrectly and any "general (no points assigned)" questions you may have included. General questions may reflect attitude, opinions and other information you wish the applicant to answer which have no point value.  Creating a test usually takes less than an hour and is very easy to do.

We have included 8 pre-designed tests for you to use "as is" or edit. Included tests: Math, Spelling, Word association, Word Perfect, M.S. Word, Telemarketing, Winows 95 and Computer knowledge.

The Custom aptitude test is one of the 9 main tests included in the Plus-32 testing system and was developed in 1989.
