Aptitude tests for military personnel

Having to make the right decision at the right time under pressure: This is a scenario that members of the military confront on a daily basis. As a result, active military service requires not just physical fitness but high performance in attention, concentration and other cognitive skills.

Find out how the Vienna Test System can help you make the right decisions efficiently and economically – starting with the recruiting process.

A science-based selection process

You are trying to identify people suitable for service in the ground forces, air force, or navy? (drone) pilots? Recruits, officers, and other military roles? Then you need to efficiently and reliably determine safety-related cognitive abilities and character traits!

Using the Vienna Test System, you can conduct assessments that are high-quality and cost-effective at the same time! From pre-selection of applicants through aptitude tests and leadership assessment to examination after critical missions – just select the test sequence that matches what you want to know. The results will give you meaningful data to help your decision-making.

The Vienna Test System has been in use at numerous military institutions around the world for decades and is well established in military research.
In a newly published study, the Vienna Test System was used to examine the influence of temperament and personality traits on the reaction performance of pilot candidates. Here you can find all the details of the study!

SCHUHFRIED currently supports more than 50 military institutions all over the world.
