Information Systems Manager Test

Hire computer and information systems managers that keep data flowing!

The Information Systems Manager Test is an online pre-employment screening tool designed to identify leadership candidates who are reliable, innovative, and capable of managing complex tech departments. This comprehensive, untimed assessment takes roughly 90 to 120 minutes to complete and evaluates applicants across three distinct areas: a 115-question personality inventory, a 44-item test of mental ability (covering verbal, numerical, and abstract reasoning), and 46 open-ended typed statements. Upon completion, it automatically generates a graphical score report complete with candidate strengths, developmental concerns, and custom interview questions.

Purpose

Information Systems Manager tests will help you identify strong candidates to lead the IT team and keep technology running smoothly. A personality profile helps predict whether an applicant will be detail minded, customer-oriented, open to new ideas, hard-working, accountable and effective in leadership roles. The addition of aptitude and sentence completion components assess general problem-solving and new learning abilities, workplace attitudes and motivators.

Target Group

These tests are appropriate for use when hiring for the positions of Information Systems Manager, as well as Computer and Information Systems Manager, Data Processing Manager, Information Systems Director, Information Technology Manager, IT Manager, MIS Manager and Technical Services Manager, among other roles responsible for managing IT systems and staff.
