Pre-Employment Skills Tests
Skills tests measure basic competencies that are typically associated with essential work activities for a wide variety of jobs. They are designed to determine whether or not an individual has the requisite level of skill required to effectively perform at a job that will require the frequent use of the skills in question.
These include the following skills tests:
· Basic Skills Test (BST): Our most popular test, the BST is a 20-minute, 40-item test that measures the basic skills that are required to succeed in a wide variety of entry-level jobs. The BST determines job readiness and predicts "trainability" by measuring basic math, verbal, and communication skills, and assessing attention to detail. Math and Verbal sub scores are listed separately.
· Typing Test: A 1-minute test that measures an individual's typing speed and accuracy. An adjusted words-per-minute (WPM) score is given, which reflects the total number of words typed correctly during the time allotted.
· Ten Key Test: The Ten Key Test measures an individual's ability to perform numerical data entry. The test provides both a speed and an accuracy score.
