The Mechanical Aptitude Test is a valid, reliable and objective measurement of a candidate’s general mechanical knowledge and ability.
WHAT IS A MECHANICAL APTITUDE TEST?
A mechanical aptitude test is commonly administered to job candidates for engineering, construction, manufacturing, transportation, automotive, technology, and trade jobs. They assess the basic mechanical skills, knowledge, and conceptual ability to do the job (or determine right up front what training and how much he or she might need). Subjects included in mechanical aptitude testing include electrical, mechanical, measurement, physical properties, spatial reasoning, and tools.
WHY USE A MECHANICAL APTITUDE TEST?
When hiring automotive technicians, engineers, HVAC technicians or trade jobs such as plumbers, welders, and electricians. it’s important to know quickly if your candidate has the basic mechanical aptitude to do the job. Failure to do so could result in hiring individuals who cost the company a lot of money in poor performance, lost productivity, employee turnover, mistakes, and injury to themselves and those around them. Bad decisions have expensive and far-reaching consequences. Using any of our mechanical aptitude tests during your employee screening and selection process can help you to identify employees with the best chance to succeed.
IS MECHANICAL APTITUDE STILL IMPORTANT IN THE KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY?
Of course, many of the most in-demand jobs include engineering, technology (robotics), and construction trades. All are highly dependent on mechanical aptitude. Today’s jobs are also more complex than ever. Many of these jobs require that employees possess a combination of skill sets, mechanical reasoning included. A candidate might say he has experience in these areas, but does he have the ability and proficiency you require? How can you be sure that the candidate in front of you can handle all aspects of the job? A mechanical aptitude test can quickly provide the answer for little cost.
