WorkKeys Listening for Understanding represents the latest methodology for measuring listening skills and the ability to understand and follow directions in the workplace. Its state-of-the art features include:
- On-demand computerized delivery
- Immediate scoring
- Updated work scenarios
- Self-paced administration
Like WorkKeys Listening, this new assessment will contribute to better decisions about selection and training initiatives. Both focus on the ability to follow, understand, and evaluate work-related processes—skills that are essential to reaching full productivity as quickly as possible. The tests also help trainers and mentors tailor their coaching and development activities to accelerate on-the-job and formal learning.
New features offered by WorkKeys Listening for Understanding make these skills even easier to identify and measure. Designed specifically for computerized delivery, the test does not require handwritten responses or supplementary media. The entire assessment is administered as one seamless package. Examinees listen to information that describes work activities, and then respond to multiple-choice questions asking them to recount what they heard. They can move through the test at their own pace and can review the information if they choose to do so.
