We find that assessment methods are used in the selection process to identify applicant skill and knowledge that may not be easily deciphered via an interview alone. Assessments help organizations build a high-quality workforce due to identifying candidates that have a potential to work effectively and add value to the job. The five common pre-employment assessment tests are:
1. Cognitive Ability Test
2. Personality Test
3. Aptitude Test
4. Psychomotor Test
5. Assessment Centers
