Ability Tests

Management and Graduate Item Bank 5 (MGIB 5)

Overview:

MGIB 5 (formerly MGIB 2004) was the first in a new breed of tests within the Managerial and Graduate Item Bank (MGIB). This new breed of tests is shorter than it's predecessors, meaning it is quicker to administer and score. These shortened tests retain equivalent reliability levels to the longer tests.

Suitable for:

Directors, senior managers, middle managers, professional staff, and graduates.
