Designed for flexibility, the Employee Aptitude Survey Test Series consists of 10 tests that measure cognitive, perceptual, and psychomotor abilities required for successful job performance in a wide variety of occupations.  A General Mental Ability (GMA) battery and other suggested test batteries developed for major occupational groups have been identified to maximize validity and utility. the Employee Aptitude Survey Test Series can be provided in individual or group administration and is fast and simple.  Most of the tests take only 5 minutes; each test is confined to a single sheet with clear instructions printed on the face of the test sheet.  They are easy to score by hand–stencils are provided for both right and wrong responses.

Extensive normative data available-the Examiner’s Manual provides the most commonly used norms for individual EAS tests and test batteries; the Supplemental Norms Report provides percentile norms for over 85 occupational and educational classifications based on over 210,000 test scores.  A wealth of research supports the validity of the EAS Test Series for predicting job performance and training success (160 criterion-related validity studies, including 725 validity coefficients).
