Gamified assessments and aviation-grade selection
Aon Assessment Solutions (formerly Cut-e) is the market leader in aviation recruitment and gamified assessments. The smartPredict platform integrates the mapTQ interface with game-like cognitive tests. The chatAssess SJT simulates a digital work environment. ADEPT-15 personality questionnaire measures 15 behavioral dimensions. Particularly strong in finance, aviation (KLM, Ryanair, EasyJet) and DACH-region companies.
Example questions in the style of this publisher's assessments.
A portfolio has 3 assets: Asset A (40%, return +8%), Asset B (35%, return -3%), Asset C (25%, return +12%). What is the weighted portfolio return? (A) 5.7% (B) 5.85% (C) 6.1% (D) 5.15%
Weighted: (0.40×8) + (0.35×-3) + (0.25×12) = 3.2 - 1.05 + 3.0 = 5.15%. Speed is critical. Practice mental arithmetic.
In the Switch Challenge, you must track a moving dot with your mouse while simultaneously solving: 7 × 8 - 15 = ?
The Switch Challenge tests dual-task performance. Practice tracking tasks while doing mental arithmetic. This simulates pilot multi-tasking.
You receive a chat message from a colleague: 'I need the Q3 report by tomorrow but I'm stuck on the data.' You have a deadline of your own. What do you do? (A) Ignore it (B) Forward to your manager (C) Offer to help after your deadline (D) Drop your work to help immediately
SJT answers reflect company values. Aon's chatAssess rewards collaborative, prioritized responses. Option C is typically best.
Cut-e scales tests are the fastest in the industry. scales numerical: 24 questions in 6 minutes = 15 seconds per question. Speed is everything.
For scales numerical, practice reading financial tables at speed. Don't read every cell. Scan for the relevant data.
For scales abstract, practice identifying pattern rules in under 5 seconds per question. Common rules: rotation, reflection, color inversion.
The Switch Challenge (aviation/pilot selection) requires simultaneous tracking and arithmetic. Practice dual-task exercises daily.
For chatAssess SJT, research the company's values before the test. Answers that reflect collaboration, prioritization and customer focus score highest.
ADEPT-15 has 15 dimensions. Be consistent throughout. Inconsistent answers trigger validity flags.
Cut-e (now Aon) designed their tests for high-volume screening where speed itself is a valid predictor of job performance. The 6-minute scales numerical test is intentionally designed so that even high-ability candidates cannot answer all questions. Your score is based on how many you complete correctly.
chatAssess simulates a digital work environment where you receive messages from colleagues and customers. Your responses are scored against a 'best practice' key developed from job analysis. It measures judgment, prioritization, and alignment with company values.
No. The Switch Challenge is also used for air traffic control (ATC), military roles, and some financial trading roles. Any role requiring sustained multi-tasking under pressure may include it. However, it's most commonly associated with aviation recruitment.
