None really; jst same as Ebbyneza

ebbyneza:
Did the assessment yesterday and got a success email with my strengths highlighted and another email saying next steps and then a video interview link which I have also completed. 10 questions were asked:
Project done in school in which you are proud of, great mistake made and what you learnt from it, characteristics that you possess that has made you achieve this much till date, how you feel helping others, decision made when confronted with client relationship amidst hectic work schedule, how you recently communicated to a superior to resolve of a situation, working with people of different opinions/ideas

I did just the logical reasoning and i got a regret mail. Any hope? can i still go ahead with the numerical reasoning?

All I did was to sight examples when responding, this is the general approach to interviews, even if you have to formulate some examples to buttress your points. There's a few seconds given for you to prepare before the video recording starts, so you can use that time to quickly arrange your thoughts. Ensure you sight work related examples especially something relevant to the company/role you applied for.

hi guys,
thanks for all the contributions. i did the strengths assessment five days ago and got the following mail:

Thank you for completing the Online Strengths Assessment. You will have received your Superpower Report via email outlining your strengths and how you can maximise them.

Your Strengths are a close match to the profile we look for and we would like to invite you to the next stage of our selection process. The next step is for you to complete our Abstract and Numerical Reasoning Assessments.

You will receive a separate link to complete these assessments in the next few days.

Many thanks,

Graduate Talent Acquisition Team

Hello. Please, can you help with tips on how to scale through the strength test. I seem not to be good in handling strength assesment questions.

please how many days does it take to get back to someone after the numerical and logical assessment ?
a friend of mine did his, over 24hrs, he had 70 & 95 respectively, he hasn't been contacted and didn't get a regret mail either.
please, someone should reply
thanks

The assessment doesn't particularly have correct answers IMO but in each question there are usually one or 2 options that stick out as stuff you wouldn't do unless u had no choice. So aim for the least correct first then arrange the other options as u best see them. It's not hard to pass and it's not timed. Good luck

What the strength test wants to really check is your skills in terms of leadership, teamwork, good judgment and others. When confronted with questions, always think of how it will affect the organization, your team and taking responsibility. Questions like: If a junior colleague approaches you for assistance on a particular task and you have loads of work on your hand, what will you do? Tell him you are busy, he should come back? Tell him to approach others because you are busy? Or find out little time from your busy schedule and assist him as quickly as you can and tell him to go ahead but you will join him once you are through with your work? I will go for the last option if I am to select an option. This shows you can help others and at the same time handle pressure at work.
