Attention Skills Test

Everything you need to know

Our Attention Skills test allows you to cover a larger range of content than you would be able to with multiple choice questions, making this assessment a good option for testing an individual’s ability to recall information. By using our Attention Skills test, you can conduct a quick and easy assessment without using unnecessary questions. There is also less of a chance to guess the correct answer and candidates are forced to recall previously learned information.

The Attention Skills Test has been created to assess an individual’s ability to connect words, complete sentences, recognise differences and match information across a range of number and letter sequences. The values that will need to be matched, whether words or numbers, will be presented in a multiple-choice question format, and the test consists of 30 questions in total.

What is an Attention Skills test?

An Attention Skills Test is an assessment designed to measure a person's ability to focus, concentrate, and maintain attention over a period of time. These tests evaluate how well someone can process information, avoid distractions, and stay mentally engaged with a task—skills that are essential for learning, working, and safely performing everyday activities.

Attention tests often involve tasks such as identifying patterns, detecting errors, reacting quickly to visual or auditory cues, or remembering sequences of information. For example, a test might ask you to press a button every time a specific shape appears on the screen or to spot differences between two images. The purpose is to assess different types of attention, including sustained attention (staying focused over time), selective attention (focusing on relevant information while ignoring distractions), and divided attention (handling more than one task at once).
