Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A simulation is a selection device that involves creating a realistic job scenario to assess a candidate's ability to perform the job tasks. Deconstructing and reconstructing part of an engine motor is a specific and relevant simulation for assessing the skills of an automotive mechanic candidate. Interviews, in-basket exercises, intelligence tests, and spatial tests would not provide the same level of job-specific assessment for this position.
