Jeff, I came across these selection of tests by Kent University and they would seem to fit the bill. I have page scraped the example ones and use them as the basis for evaluation of the applicants, that is unless anyone else has any better ideas. It really is difficult to devise tests that are not "programming specific" when you come at it from a professional perspective. But Basically I am looking for an aptitude in Mathematics and funnily enough music as being able to play an instrument with all the dexterity/mental adaptation seems to be a good yardstick of the attributes required. Whether or not that makes you a good musician is another matter! I like to think so but I leave others to judge!

I am looking into the same thing. My end game is farther out, but I want to spend as much time with an associate as possible. I also plan to be involved in more of a management role and not really retire. I look forward to the discussion. > -- > Jeff > > Jeff Johnson > [email protected] > SanDC, Inc. > (623) 582-0323 > SMS (602) 717-5476 > Fax 623-869-0675 > > www.san-dc.com > www.cremationtracker.com > www.agentrelationshipmanager.com > [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
