A PRACTICAL GUIDE
Using the Design Engineer assessment.
What does the full assessment tell you?
This template combines multiple-choice questions in AutoCAD, Spatial Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning; workplace situations in Problem Solving. It brings together evidence about technical reasoning, accuracy and practical judgement, giving you areas to explore when reviewing a design brief and checking the proposed assets.
How can you use the results?
Review each result against your vacancy’s responsibilities. Use a short task based on reviewing a design brief and checking the proposed assets to explore practical application. Ask them to explain their design choices, check the brief and show how they would revise an asset.
Which results matter for your vacancy?
- AutoCADExplore drawing structure, dimensions and how they would check a change against a brief.
- Spatial ReasoningExplore how they interpret shapes, positions and orientation.
- Problem SolvingAsk them to break down a problem, compare options and explain their next step.
- Numerical ReasoningAsk them to interpret a table, calculate a rate and explain what the figures imply.

BEFORE YOU START
Your questions, answered.
Can I tailor this assessment to my Design Engineer vacancy?
Yes. Start with AutoCAD, Spatial Reasoning, Problem Solving, Numerical Reasoning, then keep the tests that match your responsibilities. For example, use AutoCAD to explore drawing tools. You can add or remove tests before inviting candidates.
Does this assess practical Design Engineer work?
Candidates answer multiple-choice questions in AutoCAD, Spatial Reasoning, Numerical 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 reviewing a design brief and checking the proposed assets to explore application alongside the test results.
Why is AutoCAD included?
Checks practical AutoCAD knowledge for producing and reading technical drawings. Explore drawing structure, dimensions and how they would check a change against a brief. Review whether this area reflects the responsibilities of your vacancy before retaining it.
How long does this Design 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 AutoCAD, Spatial Reasoning, Problem Solving, Numerical Reasoning 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.
Can I try this assessment with real candidates for free?
