What is a paramedic test?
A paramedic test is used during the recruitment process to identify individuals who have the traits needed to work in a frontline medical environment. It is best used early in the hiring process to objectively streamline the applicant pool.
The test can be tailored to assess critical thinking, problem-solving ability, and communication skills, through verbal reasoning, situational judgement, and logical reasoning.
It can also feature personality and situational judgement questions to gain insight into a candidate's behavioural traits and ability to deal appropriately with challenging situations.
The test questions are multiple-choice and must be answered within a set time limit.
About the Paramedic Test
Paramedics drive and staff ambulances so they can respond to emergency calls. As first responders, they need to remain calm under immense pressure, assess and diagnose patients rapidly, and provide the necessary emergency treatment to stabilise patients before transportation to the hospital.
A paramedic test will assess the characteristics needed to operate as an effective and reliable paramedic, to ensure the best candidates for the role advance within your hiring process.
Why should you use a paramedic test for recruiting?
The paramedic test can assess job readiness through verbal reasoning, logical reasoning, situational judgement, and personality test questions, so you can measure performance across a variety of different skills.
As the test can be easily administered to large applicant cohorts, it provides valuable ability insights without any extra stress.
It can be challenging to differentiate between candidates based on educational background and experience. This is why a paramedic test can be so useful. The testing data can be used alongside candidate resumes and application forms to provide insight into job suitability and predictive performance.
Using online testing improves the efficiency and effectiveness of the hiring process – saving time, money, and ensuring the best applicants are chosen for the open position.

Results for the Paramedic Test along with other assessments the candidate takes will be compiled to produce a candidate report.
The report is automatically generated and available both online and as a downloadable pdf so they can be shared with other team members and employees alike.
How our test assesses paramedic skills
Candidates will need to answer a range of questions that measure industry-specific technical skills where applicable, soft skills (e.g. interpersonal), aptitude (e.g. verbal reasoning) and relevant personality dimensions (e.g. stress tolerance). The results present a holistic view of how well suited each candidate is for the job at hand, using a data-driven approach.
The format varies by type of question, including multiple-choice for aptitude and technical skills, situational judgement for soft skills and agreement on a Likert scale for the personality dimensions. This approach ensures candidates are being assessed in an accurate and fair manner, and that results reflect the true underlying qualities of each candidate.
The characteristics, abilities and knowledge necessary to be a paramedic were identified using the US Department of Labor's comprehensive O*NET database. O*NET is the leading source of occupational information that is constantly updated by collecting data from employees in specific job roles.
During the development process, test questions were rigorously analysed to maximise reliability and validity in line with industry best practices. They were created by our team of I/O psychologists and psychometricians – who collaborated with subject-matter-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 paramedic test is monitored to ensure it is up-to-date and optimised for performance.

Frequently asked questions
- What are the key skills for a paramedic?
Paramedics need to be quick-thinking, adaptable, and focused under pressure. They must rapidly absorb situations and determine salient information, so they can diagnose and treat patients decisively in emergencies. These skills can be tested through verbal reasoning, abstract reasoning, situational judgement, and personality tests.
- What qualifications do you need to be a paramedic?
To work as a paramedic, you need to be registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). You now need a qualification of degree level (or higher) in paramedic science to register with the HCPC. Unfortunately, certificate, diploma, and foundation degree level programmes are no longer accepted.
