A PRACTICAL GUIDE
Using the Electrical Engineer assessment.
What does the full assessment tell you?
This template combines multiple-choice questions in Mechanical Reasoning, Numerical 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?
- Mechanical ReasoningFollow up on how they explain forces, movement and mechanical relationships.
- Numerical ReasoningAsk them to interpret a table, calculate a rate and explain what the figures imply.
- 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 Electrical Engineer vacancy?
Yes. Start with Mechanical Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning, Diagrammatic Reasoning, Problem Solving, then keep the tests that match your responsibilities. For example, use Mechanical Reasoning to explore forces & motion. You can add or remove tests before inviting candidates.
Does this assess practical Electrical Engineer work?
Candidates answer multiple-choice questions in Mechanical Reasoning, Numerical 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 Mechanical Reasoning included?
Checks understanding of forces, levers, gears and everyday mechanical principles. Follow up on how they explain forces, movement and mechanical relationships. Review whether this area reflects the responsibilities of your vacancy before retaining it.
How long does this Electrical 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 Mechanical Reasoning, Numerical 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.
