The basics
Ability tests are most powerful when the tests have been designed to assess specific aptitudes which are relevant to the job for which the candidate is being considered.
SHL has developed a portfolio of ability tests to assess a range of work-relevant aptitudes across all levels of an organization, from entry level through to leadership positions.
The results of an ability test are compared to those of a 'norm group' so that a relative assessment of performance can be made.
Ability tests help organizations identify unsuitable applicants, and those most likely to perform well in the job. [More about the benefits of assessment].
Ability assessments can be deployed online, through a bureau service, or via paper and pencil.
