Select Pre-Employment Assessments

Informational Brochure

How Do You Know If You Are Hiring The Best?

The SELECT Associate Screening System is a family of related pre-employment tests designed to measure important, work-related, personality characteristics in applicants for entry-level jobs. These are validated and personality-based tests tailored to the work personality requirements of over 20 jobs. Each test is predictive of job success and takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes to complete.

Each of the SELECT tests have been designed to be used early in the employment selection process, after initial screening, but before the employment interview. Test results include interview probe suggestions and indications of unusual responses that should be probed during the interview.

While in each validation study a custom selection tool was developed to meet the unique aspects of a particular job, it became increasingly apparent that these instruments shared in common many work-personality dimensions. From this research, we developed the foundation for the SELECT test family. Each SELECT test measures both those common dimensions predictive of performance in most associate-level jobs, as well as unique dimensions specific to the particular job for which it has been validated. Below is an overview of common dimensions across SELECT tests.

Positive Attitude - Shows faith in self and positive outlook on self, others, and the company
Energy - Prefers a high activity level; action oriented
Frustration and Criticism Tolerance - Is resilient in the face of frustration and criticism
Acceptance of Diversity - Tolerates others different from self
Self Control - Refrains from impulsive behavior

Multi-Tasking - Enjoys handling multiple tasks simultaneously
