An assessment test measures a person's skills, knowledge, or characteristics. For over 15 years, TestGroup's Bridge tests have been utilized globally by organizations. At TestGroup, choose a test that fits your needs for hiring, selecting, or developing staff. Order a test for each candidate or use your account on our online Bridge Assessment Platform.
An assessment test is a psychological examination that provides insight into the suitability of a (future) employee for a specific role or function and/or the possibilities for development. Depending on the selection or development question and the level of the position, an appropriate set of tests is compiled. Components may include: a personality test, a capacity test, or a career test.
A TestGroup assessment test quickly gives you insight into the capabilities and competencies of employees or applicants. It also highlights strengths and areas for improvement, including concrete development tips. In addition to insight into the intelligence, competencies, and motivations of the participant, you also gain insight into the match between the participant's competencies and the requirements for the position. Because TestGroup has many different assessment tests available, you can choose your own tests.
An assessment test looks at personality, behavior, and thinking skills. Common types of these tests include the 4 Color Personality Test, which categorizes people as Red, Blue, Green, or Yellow; the 16 Personality Test, which is based on 16 personality types; and the Big Five Personality Test, which measures Openness, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism.
You can download a sample report of an assessment test here. The report contains various information about someone's personality, such as scores on 34 Big Five competencies, 16 Jung types, 4 colors, and 8 other competencies. If you want, you can also add a capacity test to the assessment test.
Would you like to administer assessment tests independently? The Bridge Assessment Platform provides an efficient system that allows you to have complete control over TestGroup's tests and assessments. With your own account, you can easily and quickly begin the process. Here’s how it works:
With the Bridge Assessment Platform, you can invite candidates 24/7, administer tests, and download reports in more than 20 languages. It's a convenient and flexible solution for independently conducting online assessments.
There are no waiting times for registering a candidate for an online assessment. Our customer service team is ready to assist you immediately with setting up the assessment. You can also choose a flexible test location—either at the candidate's home or in the office.
With an assessment test, you can prevent making a wrong choice when selecting candidates.
There are many job openings, but few candidates are available. It's important to quickly understand candidates' personalities and intelligence. An assessment test that includes a personality questionnaire and a cognitive ability test can help with this. It reduces the risk of making a bad hire and saves money, as a wrong choice can cost up to half a year’s salary. Therefore, an online assessment is a worthwhile investment.
Usually, companies and organizations use both a Big Five personality test and a cognitive ability test in an online assessment. Research has shown that, in addition to an interview, the use of these two tests provides the best selection result. At TestGroup, you can specify which tests you want to include in the online assessment and at what level (vocational, higher professional, or university).
All Bridge instruments have been developed by TestGroup's research and development team in collaboration with universities both domestically and internationally. TestGroup specializes in predicting work behavior through personality questionnaires and intelligence tests. We provide advice to organizations around the world on the use of online assessments. Additionally, TestGroup publishes scientific articles about online assessments in partnership with universities.
Because TestGroup is a test publisher, we can administer online assessments in many languages. You can choose from a personality test, competency test, cognitive ability test, a career test, or a sales test. You can select which test you want to include in the online assessment. We will, of course, also be happy to advise you on the suitable test for a specific position.

An assessment test is often part of the application process. This test uses online psychological tools to see if the applicant is a good match for the position. It may include a personality test or a cognitive ability test.
An assessment test refers to a type of test that is given during an evaluation. Examples include personality tests, competency tests, and capacity tests. At TestGroup, you have the option to select the test that you would like to use for your candidate.
A free test is a (too) short test that gives a general picture of a candidate. The general report states exactly what the candidate has filled in, not what the candidate's competencies are. Since free tests are not scientifically validated, the results of such a test are not valid or reliable. These short tests are often socially desirable to fill in: it shows exactly what the candidate wants it to show. This is of little use to a company or organization. Using these tests may seem advantageous, but because you do not find out the qualities of your candidate, using a free test can have expensive consequences.
A paid (professional) assessment test like The Bridge Personality (personality test) and The Bridge Ability Suite (capacity test) are developed through extensive scientific research. As a result, the findings are reliable and valid. Because a professional test is much more comprehensive than a free test, the report is also much more specific. It details exactly what the personality, capacities, and competencies of the candidate are. Additionally, the professional tests from TestGroup use algorithms, making it impossible for a candidate to complete the test in a socially desirable manner.
After you request a test for your candidate on the order page, they can start within 30 minutes. You will receive the report by email as soon as they finish. The invoice will be sent afterward.
The approach depends on your specific question and the position in question. Typically, both a personality test and a cognitive ability test are used in the evaluation process. For the personality test, you have the option to select from various reports. For the cognitive ability test, there are three levels to choose from: vocational, higher professional, and university.
Most tests from TestGroup are exclusively available for companies, organizations, and governments. This is because our tests are designed for professional use. They can also place orders by invoice and pay afterwards.
The candidate will spend about 40 minutes on the personality test. The cognitive ability test is 3 times 18 minutes. There is also a short personality test available, which takes 12 minutes. The short cognitive ability test is 24 minutes.
When your candidate takes the test online from home or the office, the report is ready right away. If you order individual tests from TestGroup, you usually receive the reports in your email within 15 minutes after the candidate finishes the test. If you have your own account on the Bridge Assessment Platform, you can access the reports instantly.
