Following Directions Test for Hiring

It measures how accurately a candidate follows multi-step instructions, applies conditional rules, follows workplace procedures and sorts or orders items using stated rules. Questions are short and use plain language, so the score reflects care and accuracy, the habits that decide whether a new starter follows your procedures.

Most candidates finish in 8 to 12 minutes. The Following Directions Test has 20 multiple-choice questions, drawn at random from a bank of 60 written for this test, so each candidate sees a different set. Candidates take it from one link on a phone or laptop, with no account or app to install.

Scoring is automatic. Each question has one correct answer, and the report shows an overall score plus a separate score for Multi-step instructions, conditional rules, workplace procedures and sorting and ordering. Results sit in one ranked report alongside resume scoring and any recorded interview answers, so you can compare candidates side by side.
