The Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test (CCAT®) is one of Criteria’s most popular aptitude tests and is commonly used for abroad range of mid-to high-level positions.  \nMEASURES  \n• Critical thinking  \n• Problem-solving skills  \n• Learning ability  \n• Ability to digest and apply new information  \n| PREDICTS\u003Cbr>Predict how well someone will acquire, organize, retain and apply information on the job | \u003Cbr>|\n| --- | --- |\n| QUESTIONS\u003Cbr>Candidates complete up to 50 questions | |\n\nTIME  \nThe CCAT is timed and takes 15 minutes to complete  \nCCAT Information  \nBrief  \n   2  \nWhy is cognitive aptitude so important?  \nPeople who score well on cognitive aptitude tests use their high-level information processing skills to solve job-related problems more effectively, and to learn on the job more quickly. As a result, people with strong scores tend to perform better on the job and in training.  \nA strong and long-standing body of research demonstrates that cognitive aptitude is one of the most accurate predictors of job success:  \n✓ 1.6x as predictive as unstructured interviews ✓ 4x as predictive as experience.  \nResearch has also shown cognitive aptitude to be valid, reliable and strongly predictive of future work performance. People with high levels of cognitive aptitude can:  \n✓ Perform work tasks more accurately and successfully ✓ Make decisions more effectively  \n✓ Use reasoning skills and solve problems  \n✓ Respond intelligently to new or complex circumstances.  \nWhich jobs is the CCAT applicable for?  \nCognitive aptitude is a critical underlying factor for almost every job, since all jobs require people to process information, solve problems and learn new information. It’s especially important in jobs that require people to process large amounts of information, such as complex technical jobs and managerial roles.  \nThe CCAT provides a traditional approach to assessing cognitive aptitude and is popular with customers assessing for mid-to senior-level roles such as managers, sales executives, software developers, executive assistants and analysts. It’s also critical for jobs that involve a great deal of training, such as apprentice, intern or graduate roles.  \nWhat abilities does the CCAT measure?  \nThe CCAT assesses three underlying abilities that, together, provide an overall measure of a candidate’s cognitive aptitude.  \nSpatial reasoning  \nAbility to visualize objects in physical space, make spatial judgments, and solve problems.  \nVerbal ability  \nReading and comprehension of words, logic, constructive thinking and attention to detail.  \nMath and logic  \nAbility to reason using numbers and numerical concepts. Also measures logic and analytical thinking.  \nCCAT Information  \nBrief  \n   3  \nWhat score ranges are available?  \nThe CCAT includes a series of suggested score ranges that help you understand how each candidate’s results meet the range that has been associated with successful performance in various roles. These ranges are based on large samples of prior scores from individuals applying for or occupying similar roles and are supported by multiple validation studies.  \nThe suggested score ranges available include:  \n✓ Accounting  \n✓ Analyst  \n✓ Architecture and Drafting  \n✓ Art and Design  \n✓ Aviation  \n✓ Business Operations Specialist ✓ Counseling and Social Work ✓ Customer Service Manager  \n✓ Customer Service Representative ✓ Data Analytics and Statistics ✓ Education  \n✓ Emergency and Protective  \n✓ Engineering  \n✓ Finance Manager ✓ Financial Services  \n✓ HR Manager  \n✓ Human ","cbCaiqwyDSPw4s9M","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqwyDSPw4s9M","pdf",1211146,13,"English","# Overview\n# Measures and Predictions\n# CCAT Applicable Roles\n# Abilities Assessed\n# Score Ranges\n# Candidate Experience","[{\"question\":\"What does cognitive aptitude mean in the CCAT context?\",\"answer\":\"Cognitive aptitude refers to the ability to solve problems, digest and apply information, learn new skills, and think critically, often called general intelligence or g.\"},{\"question\":\"What abilities does the CCAT measure?\",\"answer\":\"The CCAT measures spatial reasoning, verbal ability, and math and logic, which together provide an overall measure of cognitive aptitude.\"},{\"question\":\"How long is the CCAT and how is the test delivered?\",\"answer\":\"The CCAT is a timed test that takes 15 minutes and is device-agnostic, so candidates can take it on mobile phones, tablets, laptops, or desktops anywhere.\"}]","Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test (CCAT) - Information Brief | PDF",1790070604,33]
