Person engaging in a workplace assessment to evaluate soft skills and personality traits.

What Is the Aptitude & People Skills Assessment Test?

The Aptitude & People Skills Assessment Test is a dual-focus evaluation that measures both a candidate’s cognitive ability and interpersonal strengths—giving you a well-rounded view of how they think, solve problems, and interact with others at work.

It combines logical reasoning, situational judgment, and behavioral insight to assess how effectively someone communicates, takes initiative, and collaborates with teammates or customers.

These tests are designed to simulate the actual tasks someone would encounter on the job—like entering data accurately, using Excel functions, solving math problems, or writing a clear email.

In just 40 minutes, you get clear, actionable insights into whether a candidate can handle complex tasks and contribute positively to team dynamics.

For example, someone might demonstrate excellent problem-solving skills but struggle with customer interactions—or vice versa.
