This PrepPack™ has an assortment of 16 analysing information tests, 13 critical thinking tests, 4 management decision tests and 7 study guides. Every test is specially designed to put you into professional shape. Begin your journey instantaneously.
The management decision test puts you into the role of management through various scenario situations. Thus, you are able to display your decision-making, problem-solving, interpersonal and organisation skills. Each of your answers will be formulated into an intelligent analysis of your qualities. This way upper management can better tell if you are a good fit for the company's role.
Here's a free Management Decision sample question:
You have been appointed manager of a customer service department in a large bank. You have been told by your superiors that the last manager of this department was laid off due to a sharp decrease in customer satisfaction. There was also a decline in employee discipline in the department. Nevertheless, no one knows what caused the problem. You know that you were brought in to change these irregularities.
What would you do in this situation?
Rate how effective you think each action would be. Each rating can be used more than once (Index: 1= Very Effective; 2= Somewhat Effective; 3= neither effective nor Ineffective; 4=Somewhat Ineffective; 5= Very ineffective)
Response #1: First, speak to your employees and tell them that changes are about to be made. Then, investigate working methods and personnel issues in the department until you reach the root of the problem.
Response #2: Assemble your new employees and make immediate changes that may increase customer satisfaction. You want your employees to understand that you intend to make modifications and, if needed, make additional changes later.
Response #3: Assemble your employees and ask them what they think caused the decrease in customer satisfaction and the department's discipline. Make changes once you feel you know something about the causes of the problems.
Response #4: Find out who the disobedient employees are and replace them, in the hope this will solve both problems.
Response #5: Assemble your new employees and tell them that you want the department to be the best customer service department in the bank a year from now.
In this test, you will be asked questions that assess your ability to comprehend written information and draw conclusions from it.
You will be presented with a paragraph and a statement and must decide if the statement follows logically (True) from the text, logically false (False) according to the text, or if the true/false value of the statement cannot be determined (Cannot Say) from the text.
Here is a Critical Thinking sample question:
Take a very commonplace, often discussed and critical topic: Are we detecting a greenhouse effect, and related to this, is it exacerbated by "anthropogenic factors," i.e., human actions? Most would be inclined to give a positive answer to both of these questions. But, if pushed, what would be the evidence, and how well grounded would it be for such affirmations? Within scientific communities and associated scientifically informed circles, the answers have to be somewhat more ambiguous, particularly when rigorous questions concerning evidence are raised. Were scientific truth to be a matter of consensus, and some argue that scientific truth often turns out to be just that, then it is clear that there is beginning to be a kind of majority consensus among many earth science practitioners that the temperature of the Earth, particularly of the oceans, is indeed rising and that this is a crucial indicator for a possible greenhouse effect.
Statement:
The greenhouse effect is defined as an increasingly hot Earth and increasingly hot oceans.
