You need to know if job candidates can learn skills quickly and succeed. The Differential Aptitude Tests for Personnel and Career Assessment (DAT for PCA) tests applicants in eight areas that relate to successful job performance. Use it with confidence to assess candidates for selection, training, and career development in an organizational setting.
You can test one individual or a large group, in only six to 20 minutes per test. The entire battery takes less than two hours.

DAT - Canadian Edition
Two forms of the Differential Aptitude Tests (DAT) Canadian Edition are available. Form A has been specially adapted for high school students and Form B for community college and university students. Like previous editions of the DAT, these forms provide an integrated battery of aptitude tests designed for educational and vocational guidance. Based on the research finding that “intelligence” is not a single ability but rather a number of abilities possessed in varying amounts by each individual, the battery yields nine reliable scores, including an index of scholastic ability. Together, these form a basis of helping students plan their futures.
Subtests include:
|
Verbal Reasoning |
|
Numerical Ability |
|
Clerical Speed and Accuracy |
|
Mechanical Reasoning |
|
Space Relations |
|
Spelling |
|
Language Usage |
|

Features:
Canadian Adaptation: Many of the test items have been modified or replaced to ensure that the content is Canadian in nature. The new items were pre-tested on a representative sample of students.
Representative Standardization Sample: The standardization sample for Form B was selected to representative for the Canadian population of students in community colleges and universities in terms of geographic region and type of school.
Separate Sex Norms: Separate norms are given for males and females, since significant sex differences in performance exist on some tests. Both male and female norms are available to all students taking the DAT.
Results Usable by Students: Both DAT and CPP reports are designed to ensure that information is accessible and usable for students in their career exploration and course-work planning.
Appropriate for Adults Not in School: The new forms have been carefully edited with the needs of a broad range of adults in mind. Reading is required only where it is part of the ability being measured. The DAT may be used effectively with adults in a wide range of vocational and career planning situations, as well as in some industrial firms.
Note: this test cannot be sold outside of North America. |
