skill assessments
Measuring one's abilities
Skill assessments are tests or evaluations that measure a person's abilities in specific areas—typing speed, coding proficiency, language fluency, or mechanical aptitude.
Employers use them to screen job candidates: The application required a skill assessment before the interview.
They range from standardized multiple-choice exams to hands-on demonstrations of competence.
