Architect Test

Use the Architect Test to screen your candidates for professionalism, career-mindedness, personality fit and loyalty.

Purpose

This Architect Test is designed to help you find a career-minded, personality fit for an open Architect position. Architects are part of the team of people who build the world we live in. Even if it isn’t a world-class, award-winning project, an architect will be involved in any space where we work, play, learn, shop, and eat. You may look to hire an experienced architect who has years of successful projects under their belts. Perhaps you are looking for one who is greener; either fresh out of college or an internship. Whether looking for a fresh or experienced candidate who is required to design anything from a single room to an entire complex of buildings, it’s important you find someone who is the right personality fit for the job. This test will help you identify Architects who have the right mindset for their career. Architects who demonstrate the ability to work hard, who are loyal, who are dependable team players rather the solo flyers, and who are consummate professionals that will serve your clients well.

What It’s Best Used For

This test is best utilized during the hiring or promotion process for architectural positions across all experience levels—from recent college graduates and interns to seasoned professionals with years of successful project designs.

• Finding Collaborative Professionals: It helps identify candidates who are dedicated team players rather than “solo flyers,” ensuring they will cooperate effectively within a larger project team and represent your company well in front of clients.
• Measuring Mental & Spatial Agility: The integrated mental ability and 3-D reasoning segments confirm that an applicant has the sharp spatial awareness and problem-solving skills required to conceptualize structural designs, from a single room to complex building grids.
• Protecting Recruitment Onboarding Costs: Testing applicants for baseline dependability and career-mindedness helps firms safeguard their onboarding budget by filtering out high-turnover risks before making a final offer.
• Optimizing the Interview Stage: Hiring managers receive an immediate, automated online report that outlines specific strengths, flags behavioral developmental concerns, and provides a customized list of suggested interview questions for the next step of the vetting process.
