As you already know, the workplace is more data-driven now than in any previous time. So much of your company's success, in all aspects and types of business, rely on people who understand business trends, develop relevant products, and create effective business strategies. It is imperative to hire people who have the ability and adaptability to reason and solve problems.
They focus on the person's ability to actively and thoroughly analyze, combine and process information. Does the person have the ability to solve various problems and understand connections between different pieces of information in a timely manner? They also help predict which work areas the person may find more challenging and identify what support they may be need to perform more effectively.
Proactively, they can help identify strengths and challenges the person may present for specific tasks and help determine if they are a strong candidate for a job role.
The FinxS® Cognitive Ability Tool consists of nine independent tests. They all relate to real-life situations, measuring the person’s speed and accuracy to process and reason received information. Each test measures a separate element in the person’s reasoning process. Take time to select the tests that are closest to the competencies needed in the job role. The different types of assessments include:
The report compares a person's results to the benchmark population. The purpose of a benchmark comparison is to identify how this person compares against a selected population. It does not directly tell you anything about this person’s level of intelligence; only how they compare against another group of people.
Compared to the selected benchmark, results may be within ranges of below average, average, or above average.
The good news is you and your applicants do not need all the tests. Consider what supports the job role and use the tool(s) to provide information you need to make better hiring decisions.
