Apptitude Test

Understanding and Assessing Cognitive Skills

Cognitive skills are the core skills your brain uses to think, read, learn, remember, reason, and pay attention. Working together, they take incoming information and move it into the bank of knowledge you use every day at work, and in life.
So it is also vital to measure the cognitive skills of the candidates that you will be assessing.

An aptitude test is an assessment used to determine a candidate’s cognitive ability or personality. They’re extremely common in job assessments as they can be used to predict the likelihood of a candidate’s success in a job role, whilst eliminating any bias through its standardized administration.

The Maritime Trainer aptitude test is developed by mariners for mariners to measure the different abilities of the candidates and profiling them in a way that can be benchmarked with the total applicants.

You can also define a norm to select the candidates that are convenient for your standards.

The Aptitude Test contains seven different tests. The reason for including so many tests is that each of the tests are separately connected to a way of reasoning, and thus to an area of work. Moreover, the fact that whether the test takers are stronger on one test than the others provide us the possibility to see that the test taker may perform better in one area of work than the others. This will help to ensure that we are not overlooking some aspect of our potential candidate that could be developed.

Each one of the different tests measure different abilities of the candidates. A set of questions for each test need to be answered within a limited time. The responses need to be as quick and accurate as possible. It is about measuring the speed versus accuracy by focusing on mental abilities that can be completed in 88 minutes.
