What is an electrical engineer test?

An electrical engineer test helps employers determine whether candidates have the skills, knowledge, and attributes to carry out an electrical engineer's role effectively.

The test comprises multiple-choice questions and answers that evaluate a candidate's technical knowledge and practical experience of electrical engineering concepts. The concepts and knowledge assessed is that which an electrical engineer would need to use in real-life situations, similar to those that would expect to encounter when working as an electrical engineer.

To perform well on this test, candidates need to demonstrate that they both understand electrical concepts and can practically use their knowledge to answer questions. Employers can then use the results from this test to gain a deeper insight into a candidate's technical capabilities as an electrical engineer.

About the Electrical Engineer Test

An electrical engineer works with electrical systems often from the design and installation stages through to the use of these systems in practice. They need to be aware of many aspects of electrical systems such as safety, cost efficiency, and the long-term use of a system.

This test assesses a candidate's knowledge in areas such as system designs, electromagnetic fields, analysis of circuits, digital electronics, motor controls and safety.

Why should you use an electrical engineer test for recruiting?

As an employer, you want to ensure that your recruitment and selection process identifies the most suitable candidates for your position based on the skills and attributes required for the role.

This can be difficult when faced with a pool of applicants who, on paper, demonstrate similar skills and experience.

The electrical engineer test helps shortlist candidates efficiently and cost-effectively for an employer. The results from the test can then be used alongside the evidence gained from other parts of the recruitment process to highlight the most suitable candidates for the role.

This test helps highlight a candidate's understanding and knowledge in areas such as electrical circuits, power electronics, electromagnetism, and the acceptable industry standards that all electrical engineers need to ensure they adhere to when carrying out their work.

Those candidates that perform well on the test can then be progressed to the next stage of the process. Those that don't meet the required benchmark for the role can then be eliminated.

The electrical engineer test can be used for many different roles such as:

  • Junior electrical engineers
  • Electrical design engineer
  • Acoustic consultant
  • Aerospace engineer
  • Broadcast engineer
  • Electrician
  • Design engineer
  • Electrical engineer
  • Electrical technician

How our test assesses electrical engineering skills

In Neuroworx's electrical engineering test, candidates will be challenged with a range of questions from general knowledge of electrical concepts, health and safety, control systems, digital electronics to situational judgement, analytics and communication skills. The test is designed to indicate how suitable a candidate is for the engineering position based on a final test score, which can then be compared to the scores of other applicants.

The multiple-choice questions consist of one correct answer and two to four distractors. The distractors are mostly generic mistakes or misconceptions, which makes the test challenging and helps measure a candidate's proficiency more accurately.

During the development process, the test was rigorously analysed to maximise reliability and validity in line with industry best practices. It was created and tested by experienced psychometric experts, and field-tested with a representative sample of job applicants who have varying experience, just like you might find in a talent pool.

Each test is reviewed by a panel of individuals representing diverse backgrounds to check for any sensitivity, fairness, face validity and accessibility issues. This ensures each candidate has a fair chance of demonstrating their true level of expertise.

Our electrical engineering tests are monitored to ensure they are up-to-date and optimised for performance.
