High Scorers: People scoring high on this test demonstrate good comprehension of what they read, and they make reasonable judgments and decisions based on what has been communicated in the written documents. High scorers are also fast readers, so they have little difficulty with written materials. They tend to make use of available written materials so that they can be well informed about pertinent information in the company. High scorers respond well to formal training. They also solve problems on their own because they can access written information in policy manuals and equipment instructions.
Low Scorers: People scoring low on the Reading Comprehension Test may not be able to grasp written materials very well, or they may be very slow to comprehend print matter. Consequently, they tend not to put much time or effort into reading company documents, thus they often remain ignorant of information that managers feel has already been communicated. Low scorers tend to rely on others to solve problems, lacking the resources to solve new or non-standard problems, and they ask more experienced people for answers they could have obtained on their own.
