Description: Assess mechanical aptitude The WTMA is a paper-and-pencil test of mechanical aptitude designed for use alone or as part of a personnel selection battery in a variety of employment and training settings (e.g., manufacturing, industrial), as well as for academic research. -Suitable for use in vocational, staffing, or employment programs Designed to minimize academic, gender, and ethnic bias, the WTMA questions do not require familiarity with objects or events encountered in specific locales. -Multiple-choice questions, which are written at a 6th-grade reading level, include simple drawings that address broad mechanical/physical concepts (e.g., basic machines, movement, gravity/center of gravity, basic electricity/electronics, transfer of heat, basic physical properties) as they are seen in everyday objects and situations. The brief questions involve the function and/or use, size, weight, shape, and appearance of common physical objects, tools, and devices. Note: Stopwatch required for administration.
