Szakértő/Frissdiplomás

Measures the ability to understand written passages containing the type of material likely to be found in a typical technical setting, such as machine manuals and operating instructions. Relevant up to good GCSE level.

Assesses the ability to identify faults in logical systems. No specialised knowledge is required. The test requires an individual to locate which element in an arrangement of coded symbols is not working as specified. FT7.1. is recommended for both technicians and engineers.

Measures spatial perception and the ability to make accurate visual comparisons. It is particularly suitable for craft and operator level jobs involving basic design and assembly work.

Tests of this battery measure abilities necessary for engineers and technicians.

Assesses the ability to follow a sequence of interdependent symbols arranged in a logical order. This ability to apply checks and follow sequences is likely to be relevant in tracking process control systems, debugging software and in systems design.

Assesses the understandig of basic mechanical principles and their application to such devices as pulleys and gears and simple structures.

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.

Measures the ability to follow written instructions. The topics covered are relevant to a technical environment and draw on the kind of material often associated with equipment manuals or operating instructions. No prior knowledge of technical word is assumed.

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.

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).
