What is a machine operator test?
A machine operator test helps evaluate if a candidate has the skills and knowledge needed to set up, operate, and maintain machinery correctly and safely (typically in a manufacturing setting).
Consisting of several multiple choice-based questions, the machine operator test assesses candidates on their knowledge of health and safety aspects of machine operations, as well as how to professionally handle and care for equipment.
A high score on this test shows that a candidate can effectively manage their day-to day-duties as a machine operator, and add value to a business.
About the Machine Operator Test
The machine operator test assesses whether a candidate possesses the required knowledge and skills to perform operational duties successfully, so that you shortlist the right candidates.
Machine operators are an integral part of most manufacturing companies and support the functions based on usage of the machines. An effective machine operator has specialist knowledge on how machines work and run, as well as health and safety experience to ensure machines are maintained, used and cared for properly.
Why should you use a machine operator test for recruiting?
A machine operator test helps provide insight into the skills and knowledge of your potential hires to work on the machines within your manufacturing business. Resumes alone can often give limited insight into a candidate's true skills, which could lead to decisions being based on instinct rather than data.
The machine operator test helps to highlight a candidate's proficiency in key areas required to be successful, such as their situational judgement, cultural fit and general knowledge of machinery operations.
A machine operator test could be useful for the following roles:
- Machinist
- Manufacturing Worker
- Factory Worker
- Plant Operator
- Process Operator

How our test assesses machine operating skills
Candidates will need to answer a range of questions that measure industry-specific technical skills where applicable, soft skills (e.g. teamwork), aptitude (e.g. mechanical reasoning) and relevant personality dimensions (e.g. detail orientation). The results present a holistic view of how well suited each candidate is for the job at hand, using a data-driven approach.
The format varies by type of question, including multiple-choice for aptitude and technical skills, situational judgement for soft skills and agreement on a Likert scale for the personality dimensions. This approach ensures candidates are being assessed in an accurate and fair manner, and that results reflect the true underlying qualities of each candidate.
The characteristics, abilities and knowledge necessary to be a machine operator were identified using the US Department of Labor's comprehensive O*NET database. O*NET is the leading source of occupational information that is constantly updated by collecting data from employees in specific job roles.
During the development process, test questions were rigorously analysed to maximise reliability and validity in line with industry best practices. They were created by our team of I/O psychologists and psychometricians – who collaborated with subject-matter-experts – and field-tested with a representative sample of job applicants who have varying experience, just like you might find in a talent pool.
Each test is reviewed by a panel of individuals representing diverse backgrounds to check for any sensitivity, fairness, face validity and accessibility issues. This ensures each candidate has a fair chance of demonstrating their true level of expertise.
Our machine operator test is monitored to ensure it is up-to-date and optimised for performance.
