Purpose: This online purchasing manager test identifies those competitive and driven candidates who will keep costs low in the purchasing department. It also evaluates managerial skills, the ability to delegate, coach and motivate, and stay calm and rationale. In addition, the test judges a candidate’s cognitive abilities to handle large amounts of information efficiently and to make good decisions using complex information.
About this Test: This test is untimed and should take approximately 60-75 minutes to complete. It consists of 3 parts:
- A personality test
- A test of general cognitive aptitude (equally divided among verbal, numerical, and abstract reasoning)
- Open-ended statements to which the candidate must type in short answers.
What the Report Gives You: A graphical display of scores of areas covered (see chart), explanation of aptitude results, list of strengths and developmental concerns, display of the narrative comments given to the open-ended statements, and suggested interview questions.
Testing Process: Online personality testing provides immediate reporting. Proctoring is desirable but not required.
