Team Leader & Supervisory
Aptitude Tests
Our Team Leader & Supervisory Aptitude Tests are designed to assess a candidate's ability to understand and evaluate numerical and verbal information from the world of work. These tests are ideal for assessing candidates for roles such as Team Leader, Supervisor, and Assistant Manager.
What are Supervisory & Team Leader Tests?
Supervisory and team leader tests are a form of psychometric aptitude testing that is a vital part of a candidate's ability to effectively lead a team. These tests are generally presented in a multiple-choice format. The questions are typically used to understand job applicants' thought processes and actions when in the workplace.
It is very common that the distribution of supervisor and leader tests is carried out either directly by the employer or through a third-party recruitment agency. The type of test that is administered varies from company to company depending on the position that they are looking to fill. However, no matter how it is administered during the hiring process, valuable information about a candidate's key skills will accurately be shown through supervisory testing.
Exploring Varieties of Supervisory & Team Leader Tests
Aptitude testing comes in a wide variety of types and forms; all with different methods for collecting verbal and non-verbal data. It is commonly accepted that each test has unique properties that make it better suited to measure specific skills and traits such as accuracy, concentration, comprehension and more.
Supervisor and Team Leader assessments are more complex in nature than traditional aptitude tests such as Clerical and Admin assessment tests. They typically call for an understanding of complex situations and measure a candidate's ability to handle conflict resolutions, problem-solving and ability to delegate work whilst maintaining organisation. Some examples of supervisory and leadership tests are:
- Verbal Reasoning
- Numerical Reasoning
These assessment tests can streamline your hiring process. Here at eras, we suggest a combination of tests to highlight a candidate's supervisory traits and ensure they are suitable for the role they are applying for and your organisational culture.
Our Supervisory & Team Leader Series of Tests
Numerical Reasoning (SNR1)

Verbal Reasoning (SVR1)
A test to assess a candidate's ability to reason with written information drawn from the world of work.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Ability and Personality courses at eras. The trainers are very knowledgeable, bringing the subject of psychometrics to life, and there is a nice blend of practical and theory to cement learning objectives in place. I highly recommend it to HR, L&D or Recruitment professionals!
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.
The Psychometric Portal® provides an excellent variety of instruments. The flexibility offered by the 360 tool is crucial in our industry and being able to use the system on a pay-as-you-go basis is a huge benefit.
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.
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.
The portal and tests were really useful and eras were very helpful.
eras have been invaluable to the recruitment and development strands of our people piece at East Anglian Air Ambulance. We highly value their expertise and professionalism in what can be a crowded and confusing market.
eras customer service is one of the best I have seen.
