Organizations often use ability tests as part of assessment procedures. These assessments are used for the selection or development of personnel, and research shows that ability tests are good predictors of future work behavior.

• Making a conscious career choice based on your abilities

Organizations use ability tests to:

The Bridge Ability Suite consists of three ability tests: a test that measures abstract abilities, a test that measures numerical abilities, and a test that measures verbal abilities.
