Concentration tests are used to select personnel who need
to work through items of information in a systematic way while
making very few mistakes.
They are most often used when selecting candidates for
administrative and clerical jobs where mistakes can have serious
or expensive consequences. This includes areas like financial
services, legal services and healthcare.
Concentration tests are speed tests. This means that given
sufficient time to complete them, most people would be able to
obtain a perfect score provided that they were capable of working
in a systematic and careful way. However, the time limit is
usually set so that the test is impossible to complete. In
addition, the questions tend to be similar and rather repetitive
which makes it difficult to maintain attentiveness. These factors
taken together make this type of test ideal for selecting
candidates who are able to process information accurately and
maintain their concentration even when certain parts of the job
may be repetitive.
This sample question paper contains 12 questions and has a
suggested time limit of 5 minutes. The questions are presented in
Letter/A4 format for easy printing and self-marking.
