What is a process operator test?

A process operator test is designed to help recruiters ensure they shortlist the most qualified candidates from their talent pool. The test is typically used in the early stages of recruitment, to help screen out unsuitable candidates before any formal interviews are conducted.

Candidates answer a series of multiple-choice questions that evaluate them on the necessary skills and knowledge required to perform the role successfully, such as mechanical aptitude, basic maths skills, and problem-solving skills.

Those who perform well on the test have demonstrated they may have the fundamental skill set and experience to perform well as a process operator.

How our test assesses process operator skills

Candidates will need to answer a range of questions that measure industry-specific technical skills where applicable, soft skills (e.g. teamwork), aptitude (e.g. mechanical reasoning) and relevant personality dimensions (e.g. team orientation). 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 process operator 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 process operator test is monitored to ensure it is up-to-date and optimised for performance.
