Assessments in this suite are more suited to organisations which have a strong Production\/Engineering focus. Within this industrial sector, these assessments are relevant to a range of role types such as:\n<br>\n<br>\n- Hourly paid operatives\n<br>\n- Semi-skilled employees\n<br>\n- Apprentices\n<br>\n- Team leaders\n<br>\n- First level supervisor\n<br>\n<br>\nOur suite of CWS tests have been designed to be appropriate across a broad range of difficulty levels. This means that they are suitable for the assessment of a range of individuals; from those who have no educational qualifications to those who have achieved A-levels or post-school Diplomas\/Certificates.

The assessments in this series are relevant to a range of occupational groups. They may be applied to various roles in which business administration skills are needed. This may include but is not limited to:\n<br>\n<br>\n- Junior managers\n<br>\n- Customer service staff\n<br>\n- Call centre staff\n<br>\n- Sales people\n<br>\n- Administrators\n<br>\n- Personal assistants\n<br>\n- Secretarial assistants\n<br>\n<br>\nB2C Ability Tests are particularly suited to situations in which employees are required to perform a wide range of tasks such as, attending to a customer and conducting various administrative duties. In such situations, employees are required to demonstrate both conscientiousness and reasoning skills.\n<br>\n<br>\nThe B2C tests have been designed to be appropriate across a broad range of difficulty levels. This means that they are suitable for the assessment of a range of individuals from those who have little or no educational qualifications to those who have achieved A-levels or post-school Diplomas\/Certificates. Candidates above this educational level (e.g. graduates) are likely to require tests which are different in nature, as well as difficulty, in order to reflect the responsibilities of the jobs for which they are being considered.\n<br>\n<br>\nThe initial versions were developed based on job analysis, conducted in-house by our business psychologists. Trialling began with applicants to an administrative post, who varied in educational qualifications, age and experience. Based on this trialling the items were revised for difficulty level and length of the assessment, and it also determined the incorrect answer options for the numerical ability test.\n<br>\n<br>\nThe second phase of trialling was conducted with a large and varied sample of both applicants and job incumbents from a range of industries. These candidates varied widely in age, length of work experience, and educational qualifications. The trialling resulted in minor changes to the assessments and was the basis for reliability analysis of the items.\n<br>\n<br>\nThe final versions were then published, but have been subject to continual development and changes based on subsequent analysis.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c907542 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"c907542\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d3c262b e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d3c262b\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f59011 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1f59011\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-296d3b6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"296d3b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b>Managers, professionals &amp; graduates.\u200b<\/b><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-47665f6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"47665f6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\"><b>Expert: Utopia<\/b><\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-456e9d2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"456e9d2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Utopia series consists of high level critical reasoning tests.

Some changes were made to the tests in order to make them more candidate centred.<\/p><p>Next, the trialling versions of the tests were trialled on a sample of graduate candidates applying for roles in a variety of sectors. In both the tests, items were selected for the final versions on the basis of their contribution to the psychometric reliability of the overall measure, and their level of difficulty. Items were removed which were either too easy or too difficult.<\/p><p><i>The scenario above describes the initial development phase for each series of ability test.

While the questions are designed to be challenging, with unlimited time most candidates would be able to work out the correct answers.\n<br>\n<br>\nTime limits mean that we are measuring candidate's cognitive ability in a standardised way, looking at their ability to process information within a set time period.
