A short Logical Reasoning question, set around checking a production handover against the work specification. It shows the kind of thinking the Automation Engineer assessment measures.
Automation Engineer: checking a production handover against the work specificationWorkplace example
A production line follows two rules. If the guard door is open, the conveyor stops. If the conveyor stops, the fill station pauses. During a handover check you see the fill station running.
A PRACTICAL GUIDE
Using the Automation Engineer assessment.
What does the full assessment tell you?
This template combines multiple-choice questions in Logical Reasoning, Mechanical Reasoning, Diagrammatic Reasoning; workplace situations in Problem Solving. It brings together evidence about technical reasoning, accuracy and practical judgement, giving you areas to explore when checking a production handover against the work specification.
How can you use the results?
Review each result against your vacancy’s responsibilities. Use a short task based on checking a production handover against the work specification to explore practical application. Ask how they would check the specification, investigate a discrepancy and document the handover.
Which results matter for your vacancy?
- Logical ReasoningAsk them to explain the relationships and assumptions behind a conclusion.
- Mechanical ReasoningFollow up on how they explain forces, movement and mechanical relationships.
- Diagrammatic ReasoningUse a short Diagrammatic Reasoning work sample to explore how they apply diagram sequences and rules & transformations.
- Problem SolvingAsk them to break down a problem, compare options and explain their next step.

BEFORE YOU START
Your questions, answered.
Can I tailor this assessment to my Automation Engineer vacancy?
Yes. Start with Logical Reasoning, Mechanical Reasoning, Diagrammatic Reasoning, Problem Solving, then keep the tests that match your responsibilities. For example, use Logical Reasoning to explore recognising relationships. You can add or remove tests before inviting candidates.
Does this assess practical Automation Engineer work?
Candidates answer multiple-choice questions in Logical Reasoning, Mechanical Reasoning, Diagrammatic Reasoning; workplace situations in Problem Solving online. They do not complete your day-to-day work inside your own systems. Add a short work sample based on checking a production handover against the work specification to explore application alongside the test results.
Why is Logical Reasoning included?
Shows how candidates reason through unfamiliar problems without prior knowledge. Ask them to explain the relationships and assumptions behind a conclusion. Review whether this area reflects the responsibilities of your vacancy before retaining it.
How long does this Automation Engineer assessment take?
The recommended selection contains 4 tests and allows 40 minutes across its timed tests. Adding or removing tests, or adjusting time allowances, can change the total.
Will I see a separate result for each test?
Yes. Review Logical Reasoning, Mechanical Reasoning, Diagrammatic Reasoning, Problem Solving separately so a strength in one area does not hide a gap in another. Use the detail to focus interviews and relevant work samples. View the sample report.
