The test content (created by Psychological Services Inc. {PSI}) has been statistically shown to predict both job performance and "trainability" in a variety of technical positions.

Features of the MeasureUP Technical Aptitude Assessments include:

  • Web deployed - Available anytime, anywhere from a proctored environment.
  • Easy to use - Simply log in to our secure website and begin administering tests.
