Testing Testing For some jobs, you may need to take a test. Usually, the job announcement or ad will say if a test is required. There are several types of selection and job fitness tests. Aptitude tests predict your ability to learn and perform job tasks.
Literacy tests measure reading and arithmetic levels.
Integrity tests evaluate the likelihood of employees stealing. Physical ability tests measure strength, flexibility, stamina, and speed for jobs that require physical performance. Medical tests determine physical fitness to do a job. Drug tests show the presence of illegal drugs that could impair job performance or threaten the safety of others. Preparing For Tests You can't study directly for aptitude tests, but you can get ready to do your best by taking other tests.
