Aptitude Tests
Aptitude tests measure a candidate's cognitive potential (numerical, verbal, and abstract reasoning, analytical ability, and general intelligence), unlike knowledge tests, which measure what's been learned through study or experience.
What they assess
Numerical Aptitude: Solving problems that require mathematical operations
Verbal Aptitude: Interpreting written information and using language effectively
Analytical Ability: Identifying concepts, relationships, underlying problems, and solutions
Data Interpretation: Reading and understanding tables, charts, and other representations of information
General Intelligence (IQ): A combination of cognitive abilities: pattern recognition, problem-solving, verbal skill
Abstract/Non-Verbal Reasoning: Identifying patterns and sequences without relying on words or numbers
Aptitude tests don't assess what a candidate knows, but their potential to perform well in a given area — that's the key difference from a knowledge test. A developer needs analytical ability; a Big Data analyst needs data interpretation skills.
They're timed and standardized: multiple-choice questions under time pressure, which also shows how a candidate performs under that pressure. Thanks to their high predictive value, they work best as the first filter in the hiring process: they cut the candidate pool down to a third or less before you invest time in interviews, since they're administered and graded online automatically.
Evalart includes ready-to-use aptitude tests, plus a builder for creating your own, with support for single-choice, multiple-choice, image-based, or open-text questions.
