I have to take an assessment test tomorrow?

We Answered:

First off, just relax. Most of those tests are fairly easy to figure out. With regard to the personality test, often times you will not find an answer that exactly fits you or what you would do, so just use your logic as to what seems like the most upright thing to do and/or choose that which most closely matches the personality you feel they would want for the job. You never pilfered anything from an employer - not even a paper clip. Don't let the test sucker you into answers that are middle of the road - take a stance toward what logic would dictate is the best way to be when interacting with others.

Good luck

Has anyone had to take the Caliper Assessment Test?

We Answered:

I just took the test 2 wks ago myself. I'm interviewing for an Outside Sales position w/ a company that uses the Caliper test. The test is 180 questions. There are not right or wrong answers. Below is a quote regarding the test:

"In the Caliper exam, prospective hires respond to 180 questions, each of which is phrased in the form of four self-descriptions. The subject then marks which question best describes him or her. Knowing the subjects want to give the "right" answers, each description is a positive trait. For example, one list of four descriptions might include "I am a good leader," "I am responsible," "I am emotionally stable," and "I get along with people." While each description is positive, by choosing one answer a subject reveals something. After 180 different questions, a subject paints a highly descriptive psychological profile that Caliper's trained professionals can analyze."

"The test allows us to assess who this human being is," he says. "Every one of us has strengths, weaknesses and different hot buttons. But before we can tell you how well this person will perform on the job, we have to find out the functional requirements for the job. It it's a sales job, will there be much prospecting? Will they be presenting in front of customers frequently? Do they need a lot of closing ability? Who will they be selling to? What's the product? How much does it cost? And we gather as much information as a customer will give us about the position. Once we have a firm grasp on the nature of the job, then we analyze the person's test results and tell you where we think there's a match.

"But this is one point where many computer tests fail - they don't take into account the nature of the job.Typically the best salesperson could be the worst administrator, and the best administrator could be the worst salesperson. So unless you know both sides of the equation there's no way in the world you can predict one person's success.

But if you're skeptical whether a simple 180-question test can really predict future success in sales, consider Caliper's results. Factoring out the frequent turnover in many sales organizations by eliminating salespeople who left positions within one year, 85 percent of the individuals Caliper had recommended to clients are today in the top half of their sales forces. In contrast, of those hired against Caliper's recommendation, only 17 percent are in the top half of their sales forces. "


Good luck w/ the test. It is a brain-drain. There is no time limit but folks normally take 2 1/2 to 3 hrs to complete it. To summarize the test, there are a few specific questions asked about 180 ways.
