3 Reasons we love this assessment

01
What a diploma no longer remembers
Diplomas age, knowledge fades, standards change. The test shows what a candidate can still apply today, not what they once ticked off on an exam.
02
Knockout in 15 minutes
A fast first filter at the start of your technical hiring. Candidates without the right basics drop out immediately, so your time goes to those who can actually do it.
03
Under time pressure, just like during a fault
On the work floor, a fault doesn't wait. The test has a fixed time limit, so you measure not just knowledge but also whether someone can keep thinking under pressure.

Information

20 questions, three levels

Basic (recognising components, safety), intermediate (circuit analysis, Ohm's law) and advanced (power systems, control systems).

Multiple choice, knockout format

No open questions, no subjective marking. Immediately clear who has the electrical engineering basics and who needs more training.

Under time pressure

The test has a fixed time limit. Candidates answer as many questions as they can within that time, so you measure pace alongside knowledge, crucial during faults and deadlines.

Instant insight for the recruiter

After the test you get the score in your dashboard right away. No waiting, no manual review. Decision-ready in an hour.

Objectives

The Big Five Personality Model assesses key personality traits that influence behavior and performance:

Green key icon symbolizing security or access.

Circuit design & diagrams

Reading schematics, recognising components, and understanding how basic circuits work. The foundation of every electrical engineering role.

Orange planet with irregular surface markings resembling craters or patches.

Electrical safety

Fuses, grounding, circuit breakers and the standards that keep the work floor safe. Not optional knowledge, but a hard requirement.

Orange icon of a plus sign inside a dotted square.

Power systems

AC and DC, power calculations, transformers and how to connect and analyse larger installations efficiently.

Green thumbs-up icon symbolizing approval or like.

Electronics

Semiconductors, capacitors, resistors, sensors the building blocks of modern electronic equipment and control systems.
