The Criteria Cognitive Ability Test (CCAT) is a psychometric test used to assess psychological capacities. This test evaluates a candidate’s capacity to tackle issues or think critically. Typically, CCAT measures a candidate’s cognitive ability using several factors such as learning speed, ability to solve problems, and critical thinking. This is a pre-employment test that is commonly given to candidates by the recruiters to determine whether a job position is a good fit for a candidate. After completing and assessing the test result, a profile report is created and sent to the recruiter. The use of CCAT increases a recruiter’s chances of employing the most suitable candidate for a particular position.
