"Makes No Sense"

0/5

What do you like best about Wonderlic?

I do like the personality portion of the assessment. However, I believe that employers get hung up on it and make decisions ONLY based on the assessment which creates bias. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wonderlic?

Nothing about the science makes sense and the people who are supposed to have the answers can never fully explain the science behind it. We find over and over that our questions go unanswered which gives me no confidence in this assessment. The scoring changes and makes no sense and is not consistent at all. I also believe there are many factors which could skew someone's results based on the environment or headspace they are in when taking the assessment. No one with Wonderlic can ever put my mind to ease on these questions. I feel like calls that are supposed to explain the science and scoring are nothing more than inflated sales calls.

I also believe that clients become too dependent on this assessment which ends up with making poor decisions in hiring. Hiring based on an assessment alone not knowing what someone was dealing with when they took it should not be the only hiring decision. For me, I would put more stock into it administered in a controlled environment, but when someone is taking it on their own, it puts more questions in my mind than answers.

It tests a fully range of qualities of my candidates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I hear that it is too long. If the assessment was shorter, that may be better and more appealing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great insight for potential hires"

1.5/5

What do you like best about Wonderlic?

I like that the test gives an insight to cognitive ability, as well as motivation, extrovert/introvert, etc. The website is also very easy to use for both the employer and candidate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Wonderlic?

Sometimes what it scores candidates on can be irrelevant, resulting in an unnecessary low score for the profile. For example: Why is an office assistant being scored low for not having a sales motivation? Of course an office assistant isn't going to be interested in sales, and their position will rarely, if ever, require them to sell. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
