Reason #5

Designed for elimination, not selection

The most important thing while implementing the pre-employment Data Interpretation Assessment Test in your hiring process is that it is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. In other words: you want to use the test to eliminate the candidates who do poorly on the test, not to select the candidates who come out at the top. While they are super valuable, pre-employment tests do not paint the entire picture of a candidate’s abilities, knowledge, and motivations. Multiple easy questions are more predictive of a candidate's ability than fewer hard questions. Harder questions are often "trick" based questions, which do not provide any meaningful signal about the candidate's skillset.

Data Interpretation Hiring Test FAQs

What is data interpretation test?

The data interpretation test evaluates candidates' ability to interpret data presented in the form of tables, graphs and charts. This pre-employment assessment can be used by recruiters to identify which candidates have the data & aptitude skills to do well on the job.

What type of questions does the Data interpretation test include?

The Data interpretation pre-employment test is comprised of scenario-based questions that require the candidates to:

  • Analyze numeric data
  • Understand the given information (from tables, graphs and charts)
  • Calculate values using mathematical skills
  • Draw inferences from data
  • Identify when provided data is not sufficient to draw a particular conclusion
  • Establish correlations by examining relationships between data points

Can I combine the data interpretation test with an aptitude test?

Can I combine multiple skills into one custom assessment?

Yes, absolutely. Custom assessments are set up based on your job description, and will include questions on all must-have skills you specify. Here's a quick guide on how you can request a custom test.

Do you have any anti-cheating or proctoring features in place?

Read more about the proctoring features.

How do I interpret test scores?

The primary thing to keep in mind is that an assessment is an elimination tool, not a selection tool. A skills assessment is optimized to help you eliminate candidates who are not technically qualified for the role, it is not optimized to help you find the best candidate for the role. So the ideal way to use an assessment is to decide a threshold score (typically 55%, we help you benchmark) and invite all candidates who score above the threshold for the next rounds of interview.

What experience level can I use this test for?

Each Adaface assessment is customized to your job description/ ideal candidate persona (our subject matter experts will pick the right questions for your assessment from our library of 10000+ questions). This assessment can be customized for any experience level.
