Multiple assessment types
Our assessment types are Adaptive, Flexible and Situational Judgement Test, each with a specific offering.
Situational Judgement Test
Our SJTs present realistic workplace scenarios, asking individuals to evaluate possible actions as appropriate, inappropriate, or 'don't know.' They also rate their confidence. This assesses the ability to apply knowledge in context, identifying risk behaviours like 'unconscious incompetence' (confidence in wrong decisions, found in up to 30% of respondents).
Flexible
Our Flexible Assessment allows you to combine multiple question types within a single assessment, from Multiple Choice to Fill in the Blanks, Matched Pairs and more. Ideal for exam-style testing, this format provides a varied and engaging user experience while supporting a wide range of assessment objectives. Results are reported as pass/fail, without confidence scoring, making it a straightforward option for knowledge validation.
Adaptive
coming soonOur Adaptive Assessments adjust in real time to an individual's responses, progressively increasing challenge with correct answers. This pinpoints their highest consistent capability level. Typically using situational, multiple-response formats, it's ideal for identifying development needs and differentiating between basic, intermediate, and advanced capability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a behavioural diagnostic assessment?
A behavioural diagnostic assessment explores how people interpret information, apply their knowledge and make decisions in realistic workplace situations. Cognisco uses scenario-based assessments to provide insight into capability, judgement and confidence, helping organisations identify strengths, development needs and potential risks.
How are scenario-based assessments different from traditional tests?
Traditional tests often focus on whether someone can recall information or select a correct answer. Scenario-based assessments explore how people respond to situations they may encounter at work, providing insight into their judgement and application of knowledge in context.
Can you measure confidence as well as competence?
Yes. Cognisco assessments are unique in the way that they capture confidence alongside responses to assessment questions. This helps organisations identify where confidence aligns with capability and where it may not, including situations where someone is confident in an incorrect response or lacks confidence despite demonstrating understanding.
Can assessments be tailored to specific roles and industries?
Yes. Assessments can use ready-made scenarios or be tailored to reflect specific roles, responsibilities, policies and workplace risks. This helps make the results relevant to the decisions and situations people face in their jobs.
How can assessments help identify training needs?
Assessment results highlight where individuals or groups have knowledge gaps, misunderstand requirements or need support with decision-making. Organisations can use these insights to provide links to learning or target interventions where they are most needed, rather than relying solely on course completion or assumptions about capability.
The result?
A more accurate view of what your people know, how sure they are and where action is needed to improve performance and reduce risk.
