Situation Judgment Tests to measure competence
Ability to act or react to typical workplace situations show strong correlation to
job performance
Ones ability to respond to situations or cases tests their intelligence, domain
knowledge, personality and experience
Pick from a wide variety of competencies for various generic (workplace, mid
managers, team leads, etc) and specific roles (customer service, sales, retail, etc.)
Robust Methodology
Present a typically hypothetical and challenging situation encountered while
taking work decisions or interacting with co-workers, customers, partners, etc.
Candidates' choices of their most-likely & least-likely responses help in evaluating
a combination of skills and personality required for various competencies
Very high predictive power for job success
AM Situations have shown very high correlation with job performance and when
combined with our other tools can accurately predict future job performance!

About the proposed assessments:
English Comprehension: The test evaluates candidates language abilities on vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure and
reading comprehension.
Logical Reasoning Ability: The test measures a candidates logical reasoning – inductive and deductive logical. The test is very
useful in measuring the trainability and problem solving abilities of candidates for more complex systems and processes.
Quantitative Ability: The test evaluates mathematics concepts covering arithmetic reasoning, percentage analysis and
quantitative analysis.
Skill Modules: The test evaluates candidates job specific skills to ensure that candidates have the knowledge to do their job
productively.
AMPI: The test is a Big-5 personality assessment inventory, the foremost psychometric model having highest correlation to job
performance.
