Work sample test (alternatively known as work simulation or, simply, work test; hereinafter, the Test) is a sample of behavior that can be used to predict future performance in similar work situations. Its result is an employment credential that provides information relating to skills that may be difficult to assess in other ways.
Employment candidates may be offered to complete tasks that are similar to tasks they would complete when actually working in the position on a day-to-day basis. For example, for a secretary position, the Test might involve typing a passage and completing forms accurately.
