It is appropriate for any job where the employee must be able to conceptualize how parts fit together and it is often used in combination with the 2-D Form Pattern Recognition Test. The Form Pattern Perception Test should be used to assess appropriateness for design work where the individual must visualize how shapes and patterns fit together to form a whole (e.g., architectural drawings, equipment design) as well as for jobs that require dismantling and re-assembly (e.g., machine setup, mechanical troubleshooting). We recommend using this test for positions such as: maintenance technician, mechanic, machine designer, architect, draftsman, CAD technicians, pattern designers, tool and die makers. People scoring high on the Form Pattern Perception Test are better able to see how parts fit together, so they are quicker and more capable in accomplishing tasks. People scoring low on the Form Pattern Perception Test may not be able to perform the same tasks as high scorers. They may not be able to figure out the relationships of how objects fit together, so their efforts to do troubleshooting or design work may be exceedingly long – they often need assistance from other workers to complete their assignment. 24 7 minutes On average, this test is significantly related r=.36** with productivity for maintenance technicians, r=.31** for overall performance ratings; r=26** for openness to new learning; r=.28** with skills competence. Sample Items A target figure is shown on the left with a set of five answer figures (A, B, C, D, E) on the right. As with Example 1, some of the target figures are separate parts – here the answer choices will be solid objects. As with Example 2, the target figure is a solid part, so the answer choices are separate parts. Your task is to determine which one of the answer figures is the correct match for the target figure. 1 2 1 ©2018 Resource Associates, Inc. | P.O.

It is appropriate for any job where the employee must be able to conceptualize how parts fit together in ways that are unable to be visualized from the surfac The 3-D Spatial Reasoning Test should be used to assess fit for jobs where the individual is responsible for taking things apart and putting things together (e.g., machine setup, mechanical troubleshooting), as well as for design work with solid objects that must fit together (e.g., architectural drawings, equipment design) We recommend using this test for positions such as maintenance technician, mechanic, machine designer, architect, draftsman, CAD technicians.

Sample Items In the pile of blocks shown below, you must look at a specific block, then decide how many other blocks it touches -- on either the top, sides, bottom, or ends. You should not count those blocks where they touch only at the corners. For each lettered block, write in the appropriate number on your answer sheet.

It would be appropriate for candidates going into a bookkeeping or entry-level accounting job where you expect the new hire to bring some basic skills into the job. People scoring high on this test will be able to take on basic tasks without much supervision, and they will move quickly to learn new accounting tasks specific to your company. People scoring low on this test will need a great deal of new employee orientation and training. They will not be able to function on their own withou
