Create an Assessment with Assessment Builder

Overview

Assessments

Brillium Assessments are categorized as one of four major types: 

• Test - a test, quiz, or exam that is typically intended to measure knowledge or aptitude traits, and produces a score based on the answers provided to the questions presented. Brillium tests produce a percentage score based on the scores of all questions answered during the test. 
• Survey - a survey is a questionnaire normally intended to gather and measure thoughts, feelings, or beliefs in an effort to understand an individual or group. Surveys do not deliver an overall score, but provide data for analysis across defined categories. 
• Certification - A certification exam is normally a high-stakes test that is marks a high-level of achievement, often related to a major milestone or goal. Certifications typically deliver an attestation, such as an award or certificate, that confirms comprehensive understanding of a broad subject area. 
• Talent - Talent assessments are Brillium assessments intended to deliver detailed or high-level candidate profile based on specific scoring algorithms. These assessments frequently cater to a specific business or industry, are often developed in conjunction with the aid of an organizational psychologist, and exchange data with Applicant Management Systems (ATS) and Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS).
