Verbal reasoning test
Verbal reasoning tests assess a candidate's communication and comprehension skills by presenting them with a written passage, followed by multiple-choice questions based on the text.
Whether you are reading a medical report or a medical prescription, reading comprehension skills are essential in the health & medical industry. The verbal reasoning test helps reveal a candidate's language skills and abilities, making the test particularly useful in the recruitment process for this health & medical role.
Interpersonal Skills test
Working in the health & medical industry often involves communicating with a variety of people each day, such as patients, family members of patients, and other medical personnel. Strong interpersonal skills are therefore essential for an individual to interact and engage effectively with patients and coworkers to ensure the best quality of care or service is provided.
The interpersonal skills test presents candidates with a series of hypothetical workplace scenarios to assess candidates on these necessary interaction and communication skills.
Personality test
A personality test is an assessment of a candidate's traits, preferences, and motivations, which is an effective predictor of how they might perform in the workplace. Candidates are presented with a series of statements and must rate to what extent they agree or disagree with the statement on a Likert scale.
The tests explore a range of personality facets that are typically important in the health & medical industry such as detail orientation, sociability, and stress tolerance.
Numerical reasoning test
Mathematical ability is an important skill in the health & medical industry, for example, medical personnel often need to be proficient in taking measurements and converting units.
Numerical reasoning tests assess a candidate's mathematical problem-solving. The test requires a candidate to be adept at reading data presented in the form of graphs, charts or tables and using basic mathematical calculations such as addition, subtraction, and multiplication to solve a problem.
