Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Cognitive ability tests are tests that determine general reasoning ability, memory, vocabulary, verbal fluency, and numerical ability. They may be helpful in identifying job candidates who have extensive knowledge bases. As the content of jobs becomes broader and more fluid, employees must be able to adapt quickly to job changes and rapid technological advances. The National Football League uses the Wonderlic Personnel Test which is designed as a way to measure cognitive ability, the applicant's natural aptitude for learning new information. Psychomotor abilities tests are tests that measure strength, coordination, and dexterity. Miniaturization in assembly operations has accelerated the development of tests to determine these abilities. Much of this work is so delicate that magnifying lenses are necessary, and the psychomotor abilities required to perform the tasks are critical. Work-sample tests are tests that require an applicant to perform a task or set of tasks representative of the job. For positions that require heavy use of spreadsheets, having the applicant sit at a computer and construct a sample spreadsheet, with data the firm provides, will be useful in assessing a required ability.
