How well can your candidates solve problems? No matter how much you plan things
out, nothing ever goes perfectly. And hiring someone who can deal with problems
as they happen can save you a ton of stress! With TestGorilla’s Problem Solving test, you’ll be able to see how well your candidates
can analyze data to solve problems on the fly. Finding the test in our library and
adding it to your assessment is easy. But first, let’s take a quick look
at the test and see how it works! This test measures a candidate’s ability to
identify problems, analyze data, and come up with solutions. It’ll help you find candidates who can
make the right decisions in complex situations. In the workplace, that translates to things
like creating and adjusting schedules or planning out projects, both big and small. Our Problem Solving test is perfect
when hiring administrative assistants, project managers, or any role that involves
constantly changing variables and tight deadlines. Now, let’s take a look at some sample
questions to see how we test for this! In this first question, candidates
are shown a schedule and are asked to solve a logistics problem
using textual information. It’s a bit tricky, and requires a combination
of visualization and process of elimination. On the right is the list of possible answers.
Take a moment now and try it for yourself! Time’s up! Here’s the correct answer.
Were you able to figure it out? This next sample question is a little
different. It requires candidates to do a bit of math in their head. Try this one
too and see if you can find the right answer. Time’s up! Did you get the right answer? The rest of the test is similar, testing
candidates using a combination of visual and textual data. And some of these
questions can get pretty difficult. But this is a really effective way to
see which of your candidates can solve complex problems under pressure. So that’s a quick look at
our Problem Solving test. Be sure to check it out
