Tests of this battery measure abilities necessary for engineers and technicians. The Applied Technology Series is principally for use in the selection of qualified school leavers, graduates, as well as work experienced personnel moving into a new area or to a new company. Numerical Estimation (NTS2) Available in: English, Hungarian, Czech Measures the ability to estimate quickly the answers to numerical calculations. Knowledge of fractions and percentages is required as well as that of basic arithmetic. The task is to select the best estimate from a number of options. Calculators are not allowed in this test. Time limit: 10 minutes Fault Finding (FTS4) Available in: English, Hungarian, Romanian, Czech Assesses the ability to identify faults in logical systems. The test requires the candidate to locate what element in an arrangement of colour coded symbols is not functioning. No specialist knowledge, but visual and reasoning ability are required. The test is appropriate in many applications including operating machinery, when quick fault finding is necessary. Time limit: 20 minutes Spatial Checking (STS5) Available in: English, Hungarian, Czech Measures the ability to locate differences between complex designs rotated and reversed in two or three dimensions. This ability is likely to feature in the checking and design of electronic systems, engineering components and in some applications of computer-aided design (e.g. CAD). Time limit: 15 minutes
