| Today, Questionmark Perception tests are bringing objectivity and precision to the certification process, as well as flexibility in test scheduling. Schaeffler Industrial Engineer Aaron Vaughan says it’s easy now to administer tests within the workplace on conveniently located kiosks. Employees can take tests when it suits them without losing as much work time, and supervisors no longer need to schedule test appointments with engineering staff, thereby freeing up resources.
“I sometimes had to give tests at 2 a.m., for people working the third shift,” recalls Vaughan. “I certainly don’t miss that! But the main point is that online tests we give us a far more accurate idea of what people know and don’t know. We create an assessment for each job type and we have the questions set up by functional areas. Each test covers the functional areas that each job type requires. Some questions are used in tests for many different job types, and some are specific to a particular job.” |
