What is a paraeducator test?
Working under the instruction of teachers, paraeducators need to have specific aptitudes, and while these might be listed in a resume or application form, it is not always obvious what level of skill an applicant has using only a paper sift.
The paraeducator test is a simple way to assess candidates on their job knowledge, allowing recruitment teams to make decisions based on unbiased test results. The test is designed to be relevant to the role, making it easier to narrow down the applicants that have applied to take forward to the next stage.
About the Paraeducator Test
The paraeducator test is best used in the early stages of the application process for a role; most recruitment teams use them straight after the initial shortlist.
The test is easy to administer to a large number of applicants at once, and asks relevant questions that give candidates the opportunity to demonstrate their relevant skills and depth of knowledge.
Each candidate receives a link to complete the test in their own time, and the recruitment team can see the results, using them to make an objective decision about which candidates show the greatest potential.
Why should you use a paraeducator test for recruiting?
A paraeducator test is a simple and straightforward way to narrow down the number of applicants based on unbiased data. The answers given can be used to choose the best qualified and most skilled individuals.
The recruitment process can be long-winded, and if you are trying to whittle down a large group of applicants, having multiple rounds of interviews is time-consuming and expensive.
Using a paraeducator test in your hiring process will help you to ensure that only the best candidates being put forward for the role, reducing time and cost to hire.

How our test assesses paraeducator skills
Candidates will need to answer a range of questions that measure industry-specific technical skills where applicable (e.g. Microsoft Powerpoint), soft skills (e.g. interpersonal skills), aptitude (e.g.verbal reasoning) and relevant personality dimensions (e.g. patience). 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 paraeducator 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 paraeducator test is monitored to ensure it is up-to-date and optimised for performance.
