Question

The instructors at Edudrakel, a tutoring center for undergraduate students, are required to teach multiple subjects that are not limited to their expertise or their majors. Therefore, the employee selection criteria at Edudrakel does not include testing of subject knowledge but focusses on assessing the logical, mental, numerical, problem-solving, and verbal abilities of the job applicants. In this scenario, which of the following selection tests should Edudrakel conduct to hire the right candidates?

1. A cognitive ability test
2. Specific ability test
3. External recruiting

Answer 1

The correct answer is 1. A cognitive ability test .

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking into account the dispositions required to carry out the work effectively, it is noted that in Edudrakel the use of skills is required rather than being specific to the field studied. For this reason, it is necessary to implement tests of cognitive ability because they allow to know more clearly which are the topics that are best handled by the candidates, and with that information to be able to use them in the area in which they perform best.
