CAREER CORNER

Assessing the assessment tests
Wonderlic, Myers Briggs, Hogan Leadership
Focus, codility, QuodeIt, interview mocha have you ever heard of any of these? Or
better yet-have you ever taken one of these
assessments? This is a small sampling of
types of employment assessments that
many organizations are using today to
determine if someone is a fit for a position.
These may be conducted pre-employment
or perhaps during employment as part of a
development program.
This article is to simply say that it's ok-
don't be worried, don't be surprised and
don't be offended if you're asked to
participate. Over 75% of organizations
today are using these as a tool in the
employment process.

What Types of Assessments
Exist?
A LOT! There are a variety of things that
may be part of this evaluation process for
candidates. Some examples include:
Personality tests - these offer insight
into a candidates' cultural fit and whether
his or her personality can translate into job
success. Research has shown strong
correlation to job performance in various
roles.
Integrity tests - the story of preemployment testing actually began with

these assessments. They measure attributes
such as honesty, reliability, and discipline in
people.
Cognitive ability tests - these measure a
candidate's mental abilities, which strongly
correlate to job performance. Items
measured include critical thinking, logic, and
verbal and numerical reasoning.
Emotional Intelligence (EI) tests - EI is a
key competency today and refers to
someone's self-awareness, selfmanagement, social awareness, and
relationship management with others (from
Primal Leadership by Daniel Goleman.)
Job knowledge and skills assessments
tests - these measure a candidate's actual
skills, either technical or theoretical
expertise in a particular field. This could be
either soft skills (e.g., attention to detail) or
hard skills (e.g., computer literacy). For
example, an accountant may be asked
about basic accounting principles. Today,
there are also a number of engineering
focused initiatives as well.
Physical ability tests - depending on the
position, physical abilities assessments may
be used and measure strength and stamina.
These traits are critical in certain
professions, such as working in a
manufacturing environment.
