TEST QUESTIONS & ANSWERS!

ANSWER = TRUE

EXPLANATION: In this test, you will need to read the question and then navigate to the correct tab containing the information. In this case, the question states that the profits made in the last quarter were £42,100. Your task is to find the correct tab containing the data that would validate the claim as true, false or impossible to say. This question states: “In the last quarter of 2022, the total profits were £42,100.” To break this down into steps, we need to do the following:

STEP 1: Find the correct tab which contains the data. In this case, the total profits tab contains the correct data set.

STEP 2: Analyse the data contained in the tab to locate the correct data to validate.

STEP 3: Make the required calculation. In this case, the last quarter of 2022 is October, November and December. Add the three figures; 12.2 + 13.4 + 16.5 = 42.1. 42.1 x 1,000 = £42,100. So we can validate this statement as true.

While there are no right or wrong answers for these questions the test provides valuable information for employers, for which they can piece together to gain an overall impression of that applicant. They are designed to reveal aspects of a person’s character that employers often miss during the interview stage.

If you answer ‘true’ to each of the statements this indicates that you are someone who may not be particularly impulsive. Similarly, answering ‘false’ to a statement such as “Sometimes, I want to ‘do’ it instead of ‘think’ about it” indicates the same personality type.
