Answer
Two types of employment tests conducted to select employees are:
Achievement Tests — Achievement tests measure the skills and knowledge which the candidate already possesses at the time of testing. These tests help to determine whether the claims made by the candidate about his knowledge and skills are correct or not. The candidate is asked to perform the job, and his actual test performance indicates his proficiency. These tests are also known as trade tests, performance tests, or proficiency tests. Example: A candidate for the post of a typist may be asked to type a page so as to judge his speed and accuracy.
Intelligence Tests — These tests measure a person's capacity for listening and comprehension in terms of his vocabulary, mental alertness, memory, and reasoning. An applicant's intelligence quotient (IQ) can be judged through intelligence tests.
