Purpose: This test assesses the simple reading skills typical of entry-level jobs where the documents are fact-based and require little, if any, interpretation.
When to use it: The Forms Comprehension Test can be used in place of a more complex reading test when job incumbents only need to read things like inventory control sheets, bill of lading, etc.
High Scorers: People scoring high on the Forms Comprehension Test demonstrate a minimum level of reading comprehension.
Low Scorers: People scoring low on the Forms Comprehension Test are probably barely literate or they may be simply extremely slow to perform simple mental tasks.
Target Group: We recommend using this test for positions such as warehouse, inventory control, data entry clerks, shipping & receiving.
Number of items: 40
