Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This type of assessment, in which the candidate is given tasks or assignments similar to those they would perform on the job, is called a work sample test. The fact that she was asked to respond to simulated emails and memos indicates that this was a work sample test rather than a cognitive ability test, performance review, 360 degree feedback test or assessment center.
