Cognitive ability is predictive of job performance across all domains because it predicts learning and problem-solving. The ability to acquire job knowledge is impacted by one’s ability, and one’s command of job knowledge affects job performance.
Employees with higher cognitive ability tend to adjust better to new tasks with their ability to learn and apply new information. Complex jobs that involve a high degree of independent decision-making and problem-solving require a high level of cognitive ability.
HighMatch candidate reports make it crystal clear if candidates possess the innate talents needed to succeed in the job defined by your organization. Our Create solution provides personalized assessments tailored specifically to your organization’s needs.
Below is a list of positions that require different types of cognitive abilities:
HighMatch tests for cognitive ability using its cognitive aptitude test offered through our Assess solution.
Our workplace psychologists conduct a benchmark study to understand what qualities are most critical for the role, analyze the qualities that top performers share, and then develop a customized Job Profile that includes traits, aptitudes, and hard skills.
That Job Profile is used to develop the scoring and weighting mechanism for the assessment, helping to identify whether the person is a high, medium or low fit for the job.
