Managerial & Professional
Aptitude Tests
The Managerial and Professional Series tests, suitable for various education levels, evaluate reasoning, problem-solving, and complex relationship skills. Ideal for graduate recruitment to senior management assessment and development. Our two tests — numerical and verbal reasoning — capture key attributes essential for management roles.
What are Managerial & Professional Tests?
Professional & Managerial assessment tests are a standard tool to evaluate a candidate's suitability for high-level management positions. These tests are often presented in the form of questions related to a realistic workplace setting.
Management assessment testing can be carried out directly by an employer or with the assistance of a recruitment consultant. The approach will vary from company to company and even from role to role. Successful application of managerial and professional level aptitude tests will help employers identify skills that are crucial in management, leadership and other kinds of professional roles.
Exploring Varieties of Management & Professional Tests
Diverse aptitude tests serve specific purposes, evaluating verbal and numerical reasoning among other skills such as concentration, accuracy and comprehension.
Compared to general aptitude tests, management and professional assessments tend to be more intricate, often requiring complex calculations and higher levels of critical thinking. These assessments encompass:
- Verbal reasoning tests
- Numerical reasoning tests
- Deductive reasoning tests (part of our Specialist Series)
As an interviewer, employing a range of managerial-level testing techniques allows you to spotlight candidates' talents and determine their suitability for management and senior roles. This alignment between applicants and positions is paramount for successful hiring.

I watched the session at the CIPD conference and thought it was one of the best sessions of the day.
Our relationship with eras spans more than 10 years and the Team there have consistently exceeded our expectations. They have the ability to understand our business drivers and our culture and then identify the resources that will help us meet our goals.
Everyone has been very helpful and the level of service and information far outweighed your competitors.
We have been working with eras for many years now and specifically use the 360 function regularly. The 360 function is fantastic as we can amend it to suit whatever we need. It's easy to use and produces really useful information in a very professional report. When working with eras I've personally found them to be extremely responsive and very helpful, they go out of their way to support and find solutions.
We are delighted to recommend the use of eras products for use within both recruitment campaigns and for employee development. The tools that we use for both purposes have a good level of flexibility and can be matched against roles of all types and levels within our business.
I'm very excited about the newer features of The Psychometric Portal®, and praise eras for its splendid customer service.
I was introduced to eras many years ago, and throughout my HR career I have found their services extremely professional , and more importantly, extremely accurate in terms of the candidate profiling outcome. Whether I was using a recruitment or a development service the level of detail available to bolster my decision making was invaluable. I would not hesitate to recommend eras and the team to anyone.
What I like about The Quest Profiler® is the wealth of different outputs it provides, from team styles to conflict handling, and from culture matching to competencies. You would normally have to use multiple personality tools to achieve this, but they all come from the same 25 minute questionnaire!
We use The Quest Profiler® and the wider eras tools heavily at Snow and they are a key part of our kit. From recruiting tools to developmental psychometrics for individuals and teams through to leadership 360s the quality of the data and reports has made a significant difference to our people worldwide. They gain insights and actionable feedback that helps them grow and build the success and careers they aspire to.
I have been delighted by the service offered by eras. The team are incredibly supportive and knowledgeable and I find the psychometrics invaluable as part of our offer for selection and leadership development.
