For a better understanding of aptitude look no further than the Thomas General Intelligence Assessment (GIA). The test provides a measure of ‘mental horsepower’, and may be used to help recruit, retain, develop and manage staff.

The GIA is a 20 minute online intelligence test which gives a clear indication of key strengths and abilities, and can help employers answer questions like:

• Does this person have leadership potential?
• Could this person cope with a mentally demanding role?
• How well will this person respond to training?
• Can this person solve problems?
• Will this person be bored in a repetitive role?
• How adaptable is this person to change?

The test divides into 5 key areas:

• Reasoning - A high score indicates an ability to make inferences easily, draw effective conclusions, hold information in short term memory with fluent verbal reasoning.
• Perceptual speed - A high score indicates ability to comprehend large numbers of words which is ideal in environments or roles where lots of written information is used and where it is critical to assimilate new information quickly.
• Number speed and accuracy – A high score indicates an ability to work with quantitative concepts and numerical applications.
• Word meaning – A high score indicates good word knowledge and vocabulary.
• Spatial awareness – A high score indicates an ability to manipulate and create mental images, excellent for design where visualisation is needed.

Not only can these assessments can help recruit the right people into your organisation, they also have great value in retaining and motivating your high performers.
