At Cú Chulainn Consultancy I will prove you WRONG in this regard!
Often seen as an entry level requirement in the recruitment and selection process for many public and private sector organisations candidates must complete a series of Aptitude tests as part of the initial pre-screen process. They form the basis on companies’ decisions as to whether or not you meet the minimum criteria for selection to the next level.
Depending on the nature of the role Aptitude tests can vary widely (see list below).
While not your everyday assessment these tests often instil a sense of dread in many people and too often people have already decided they are not going to perform well based on a previous poor performance or fear factor.
Opportunities are lost for such a small investment!
