Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A cognitive ability test is the most appropriate selection test to assess the logical, mental, numerical, problem-solving, and verbal abilities of job applicants. A specific ability test may be too narrow in scope and may not cover all the necessary abilities required for the job. A personality test may not provide information on the specific abilities required for the job. A work sample test may not be feasible for all subjects and may not adequately test all the necessary abilities.
