Wonderlic Cognitive Ability Test for employment screening.

Practical Applications

Using Wonderlic Results in Hiring Decisions

Making the Most of Test Scores

Wonderlic results are just one piece of the hiring puzzle. Employers should combine test scores with resumes, interviews, and references to make well-rounded decisions.

Setting Cut-Off Scores

Companies may set a minimum Wonderlic score for certain positions, but should ensure it’s appropriate for the job’s cognitive demands.

Building Effective Teams

Understanding each candidate’s strengths can help managers assign tasks and build balanced teams.

Limitations

No test is perfect! Always consider the whole person, not just their score.

Examples

  • A company uses Wonderlic scores to shortlist candidates, then conducts interviews to assess soft skills.

  • Managers use test results to identify employees who may benefit from extra training.
