The HR aptitude test evaluates a candidate's ability to identify correct solutions to real-world Human Resources challenges and tasks, as well as aptitude for logical, numerical, and verbal reasoning.
It's an ideal test for pre-employment screening of candidates applying for a variety of Human Resources roles, including HR Assistants and HR Generalists. A good candidate for an HR job will be able to display a high level of interpersonal skills, keen problem-solving abilities, and excellent reasoning ability.
This test requires candidates to demonstrate aptitude for various kind of reasoning and answer multiple-choice and fill-in-the-blank questions to demonstrate how they would handle common HR situations.
Sample public questions
In an upcoming referendum, voters will be asked whether the minimum wage should be increased. Telephone polls of likely voters were conducted to predict what the result might be. All respondents were put into at least one of six categories based on profession and age: scientist, lawyer, hourly wage earner, small business owner, younger voter, older voter.
The opinion polls showed:
- A majority of voters are in favor of keeping the current minimum wage.
- A majority of scientists and lawyers supported a rise in the minimum wage.
- Younger voters are more inclined to support a rise in the minimum wage.
- Older voters tend to support no change.
- Hourly wage earners overwhelmingly supported a rise in the minimum wage.
- Small business owners were evenly split on the subject.

After saving for years, John's parents bought him his first car for his birthday. He was so happy that they decided to keep buying him cars on future birthdays that came after the same interval of years.
Today they bought him yet another car—38 years after the first.
Here are the birthday cars.
How old was John when he got his first car from his parents?
You are having a discussion with your friend about the apps you both use.
Every app your friend uses, you also use. Spreadsheet is the app you use the most. You don't use the Calculator app at all.
With regard to what’s written above, select which of the following statements are true.
As the new HR generalist for a small sales company, you meet with each employee to understand their HR needs. In one meeting, a salesperson complains that even though she has the highest yearly sales, her manager doesn’t trust her. She says that she's frustrated because he double-checks everything she does.
Later you meet with her manager who has excellent performance ratings. He complains that she only does well because he double-checks all of her work to catch mistakes. After your HR meetings are done, your boss asks you to summarize your findings and suggestions.
What is an appropriate solution for you to suggest to resolve the issue between the salesperson and her manager?
From 85 applications received through an online, open-ended, job posting, the hiring team has interviewed the only 5 applicants who met the minimum job qualifications. The hiring team decided that 3 of them lacked the skills necessary for the job, but selected the other 2 for reference checks.
Since you handle recruitment and hiring as an HR Assistant, what steps should you take next in your applicant tracking system?
After your London company’s job posting for an onsite HR assistant closes, there are 230 resumes in the application tracking system (ATS). Your boss, the HR manager, emails you about how she wants the list shortened and sorted.
Hi: Please filter the applicant list for this position in our ATS for our HR benefits manager who is hiring for the position and wants to see applicants that the ATS scored over 80% and who live in the city. Then, sort the list in descending order by score percentage. Oh, and you’ll need to send a PDF to the other members of the hiring committee because they don’t have ATS access. Since it’s your first time, flag me and schedule a review. Just tell the ATS not to submit and the system will hold everything. Thanks!

What others say
Simple, straight-forward technical testing
TestDome is simple, provides a reasonable (though not extensive) battery of tests to choose from, and doesn't take the candidate an inordinate amount of time. It also simulates working pressure with the time limits.
