About the Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing (GD&T) test

The Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) language comprises symbols and standards that have been developed and are used by both engineers and manufacturers in order to describe a product and easily communicate among the different people and entities working together to bring something into production. This screening test follows the rules of GD&T as described in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Y14.5.

The test assesses candidates' knowledge and practical skills in using the principles, concepts, and best practices of GD&T. It evaluates candidates in the fundamentals and symbology of GD&T, datum referencing, and the different types of geometric tolerances. Different questions test the candidates' understanding of datums and features, GD&T symbols, the feature control frame, and material condition modifiers, among other things.

Candidates who perform well on this test have not only a strong GD&T knowledge but also the experience needed to apply that knowledge in practical work-related situations. These candidates can read designs correctly, interpret and communicate product needs accurately, and make decisions that move production forward.

VP of engineering, mid-market (51-1000 FTE)

Any tool can have functions—bells and whistles. Not every tool comes armed with staff passionate about making the user experience positive.

The TestGorilla team only offers useful insights to user challenges, they engage in conversation.

For instance, I recently asked a question about a Python test I intended to implement. Instead of receiving “oh, that test would work perfectly for your solution,” or, “at this time we’re thinking about implementing a solution that may or may not…” I received a direct and straightforward answer with additional thoughts to help shape the solution.

I hope that TestGorilla realizes the value proposition in their work is not only the platform but the type of support that’s provided.

For a bit of context—I am a diversity recruiter trying to create a platform that removes bias from the hiring process and encourages the discovery of new and unseen talent.

FAQs

An assessment is the total package of tests and custom questions that you put together to evaluate your candidates. Each individual test within an assessment is designed to test something specific, such as a job skill or language. An assessment can consist of up to 5 tests and 20 custom questions. You can have candidates respond to your custom questions in several ways, such as with a personalized video.

A video question is a specific type of custom question you can add to your assessment. Video questions let you create a question and have your candidates use their webcam to record a video response. This is an excellent way to see how a candidate would conduct themselves in a live interview, and is especially useful for sales and hospitality roles. Some good examples of things to ask for video questions would be "Why do you want to work for our company?" or "Try to sell me an item you have on your desk right now."

Besides video questions, you can also add the following types of custom questions: multiple-choice, coding, file upload, and essay. Multiple-choice lets your candidates choose from a list of answers that you provide, coding lets you create a coding problem for them to solve, file upload allows your candidates to upload a file that you request (such as a resume or portfolio), and essay allows an open-ended text response to your question. You can learn more about different custom question types here.
