A PRACTICAL GUIDE

Using the Manufacturing Engineer assessment.

What does the full assessment tell you?

This template combines multiple-choice questions in Mechanical Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning, Error Checking, Diagrammatic Reasoning; workplace situations in Problem Solving. It brings together evidence about technical reasoning, accuracy and practical judgement, giving you areas to explore when reviewing production output against the required cycle time.

How can you use the results?

Review each result against your vacancy’s responsibilities. Use a short task based on reviewing production output against the required cycle time to explore practical application. Ask them to investigate a bottleneck, check the process assumptions and explain a proposed improvement.

Which results matter for your vacancy?

  • Mechanical ReasoningFollow up on how they explain forces, movement and mechanical relationships.
  • 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.
  • Error CheckingCheck matching identifiers, amounts and dates before records are shared.
  • Diagrammatic ReasoningUse a short Diagrammatic Reasoning work sample to explore how they apply diagram sequences and rules & transformations.

BEFORE YOU START

Your questions, answered.

Can I tailor this assessment to my Manufacturing Engineer vacancy?

Yes. Start with Mechanical Reasoning, Problem Solving, Numerical Reasoning, Error Checking, Diagrammatic Reasoning, 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 Manufacturing Engineer work?

Candidates answer multiple-choice questions in Mechanical Reasoning, Numerical Reasoning, Error Checking, 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 reviewing production output against the required cycle time 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 Manufacturing Engineer assessment take?

The recommended selection contains 5 tests and allows 50 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, Problem Solving, Numerical Reasoning, Error Checking, Diagrammatic 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.
