Tip 1. Take online assessments seriously
Don’t think, “Oh, I’ll just do this.” Organisations take the results of online assessments very seriously. So, as a participant, you should also take it seriously. In addition, you can benefit a lot from the results of an online assessment. It often provides clear guidance and insights for your own personal development and (career) choices.
Tip 2. Know what to expect
Most online assessments consist of a personality assessment, a motivations test, and aptitude tests. Often, you will know in advance which test(s) you need to take and what the purpose of the online assessment is. On our website, you will find three short tests, that allow you to see what to expect from Assessio’s online assessments. Go directly to test yourself.
Tip 3. Practice aptitude tests
Make sure you know what kind of questions to expect. And most importantly, practice those annoying fractions or number series one more time. For many people, solving these types of problems has somewhat faded from their memory. You can save time by practicing, and an aptitude test always has a time limit. There are many websites where you can practice (for free). Our website also includes a short aptitude test, to show you what you may encounter. Go directly to test yourself.
Tip 4. Don’t try to beat the test
Answer truthfully and spontaneously in a motivations test or a personality assessment. Don’t pretend to be someone you’re not, and don’t steer towards the desired job profile. After all, you also want the future position to suit you.
Tip 5. Good night’s sleep and a calm environment
It may seem like a no-brainer, but this is absolutely essential. Make sure you start an online assessment well-rested. Also, ensure that you are not disturbed while taking the tests. Not by colleagues, if you’re taking the tests at the office, but also not by running children or barking dogs, if you’re taking the tests from home. Finally, make sure you have a stable internet connection.
