The Morris & McDaniel Operator Battery is a computerized test battery that greatly reduces the administration workload.  In the typical application, the candidate receives only a brief     introduction from the administrator.  All other instruction and testing is accomplished by the candidate interacting with the computerized test.  Test administration and management is   uncomplicated and requires only basic computer skills such as facility with a computer mouse.

the tests

The Test Battery comprises of three separate tests, each one designed to focus on the assessment of specific skills and abilities.

The Morris Learning Aptitude Test (LAT)   assesses the ability of an individual to learn new skills and to acquire new knowledge.  This test is effective in measuring the capacity of a candidate to learn new procedures on the job or to adapt to new equipment or software.

The Mechanical Aptitude Test (MAT)         assesses a candidate's ability to understand basic mechanical principles. The test contains forty (40) test questions which require candidates to demonstrate skills and/or abilities in basic mechanical contexts. Candidates have thirty (30) minutes to complete the test. 

The Candidate Self Report (CSR) assesses the integrity, work ethic, and service orientation of employees, and can be used as a valuable tool in the hiring process. The CSR predicts overall job performance to a high degree. Studies also demonstrate the CSR’s ability to elicit valuable information from a candidate on these additional important work dimensions: Turnover, Discipline, Initiative, Interpersonal Skills, Multi-Tasking, Safety, Racial/Ethnic Cultural Tolerance, Teamwork, Drug/Alcohol Use and Self Confidence.
