Bennett Mechanical Aptitude Test

The Bennett Mechanical Comprehension Test (BMCT) is an assessment that measures an individual's aptitude to learn mechanical skills. The test focuses on spatial perception and tool knowledge rather than manual dexterity. It is especially well-suited for assessing job candidates for positions that require a grasp of the principles underlying the operation and repair of complex devices.

Wonderlic Cognitive Ability Test

The Wonderlic Cognitive Ability Pretest is a short-form measure of general intelligence or cognitive ability – the most powerful predictor of success on the job. The test measures how well an individual reasons, solves problems, plans, organizes, thinks abstractly, learns quickly, and grasps the nature of complex problems. By comparing an applicant’s test score to a predetermined test score range, an employer can get a reliable estimate of his or her likelihood of successful job performance. A candidate’s cognitive ability is the best single predictor of job and training success.

Identify candidates who have the behaviors and characteristics for the particular job you are hiring for by using personality assessments.

Myers-Briggs Personality Indicator

The Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator is a self-inventory test designed to identify a person's personality type, strengths and preferences. Based on the answers to the questions on the inventory, people are identified as having one of 16 personality types. The goal of the MBTI is to allow respondents to further explore and understand their own personalities including their likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, possible career preferences and compatibility with other people. No one personality type is "best" or "better" than any other one. It isn't a tool designed to look for dysfunction or abnormality. Instead, its goal is simply to help you learn more about yourself. The MBTI must be administered by a trained and qualified practitioner that includes a follow up of the results.

Standard Timing Machine (STM)

The Standard Timing Machine is a hands-on mechanical device used in the selection, evaluation, promotion, and training of production equipment mechanics. The STM is a mechanical skills assessment tool used to identify mechanical skills and competencies when hiring machine operators, maintenance mechanics, electro-mechanical personnel, assemblers, or technicians. There are varying degrees of difficulty "assessment tasks" depending on the position you’re hiring for. The assessment protocols for a "maintenance mechanic" position are more challenging than the assessment protocols for a "machine operator" position. The process identifies skills such as troubleshooting ability, spatial perception, quality differentiation, hand-eye coordination, qualitative and quantitative reasoning ability, the understanding of different mechanical components, and the understanding of mechanical Stroke, Timing, and Position.
