SHL ability testing

Desmotronic,

Sorry mate I don't know who your source is, but I am going to contradict you.

My dear sweet baby sister is a Psych specialising in recruitment for a major international recruitment firm, PDI Coyne.

When you do the tests you will notice that each one has a code name, eg: the OPQ (Occupational Preferences Questionnaire) or the SPQ 14 or whatever. Last time I went through these tests (yes under the current sustem) I took some notice of these codes and discussed them with her later.

These are all standard products from SHL and in my sister's experience none of them are negatively marked - and further, it is her opinion that it would be unethical for them to be negatively marked without notifying the candidate of that fact before the test.

She also noted that it is obvious when you answer the last 30 questions in 15 seconds that you are guessing

Equatorial, a friend of mine went through the same sim sessions as Firecracker (a Thursday night, Building evacuated?) in late May. Firecracker has been given "the letter" (the good one) and my mate tells me he received some positive indications from QCC3 today.

So it sounds like there is some movement there. Good luck!
