How we prepare you for your Online Job Opportunities Assessment for ADF's YOU Session:

ADF's YOU Session Online Job Opportunities Assessment:

The JOA test has 51 test questions and you only have 20 minutes to complete it. This is a very difficult task to complete in such a short time.

The test measures your cognitive ability in three key areas using 3 types of test questions:

1. Verbal test questions in the online job opportunities assessment for ADF:

This type of questions in your JOA test measures your verbal reasoning and deductive reasoning skills. Test questions in this section include several styles.

These test questions are designed to measure your ability to identify words that do not belong to a group or find word associations or logical thinking.

Let's check the following verbal test questions examples in the Online Job Opportunities Assessment for ADF:

Example verbal question 1 in JOA:

Which two statemenets together prove that Tim has a red car?

A. Gil likes Tim's car colour

B. Tim likes fast cars

C. Gil has a fast car

D. Gil likes only red cars

E. Tim's car is not silver

The correct answer is A and D, as if Gill likes only red cars and Gill likes Tim's car colour then Tim's car must be red.

Example verbal question 2 in JOA:

Which are the two odd-ones out?

A. Borrow

B. Trade

C. Sell

D. Rent

E. Loan

F. Lease

2. Numerical test questions in your online job opportunities assessment for ADF:

These test questions include traditional number series, 3 by 3 type of number series and time, speed, distance type of test questions.

Let's check the following numerical test questions examples in JOA:

Example numerical question 1:

Tom has been flying his small jet for 30 minutes and has travelled 200 km. What has been his average speed in Kilometres per hour?

This is a time, speed, distance type of test question. To solve this question you must use the formula time x speed = distance. Based on the question time = 0.5 of an hour and distance = 200 km, Therefore, the speed is 200/0.5 = 400 km/hr

Example numerical question 2:

Steve has to figure out the number of animals to be placed in each of the small zoo's cages. He decided that the number of animals to be placed in each of the 6 cages will depend on the size of the cage in comparison to the other cages. One cage is four times the size of two of the zoo's cages and equal to the three other cages. What is the minimum number of animals in each cage?

This is a question that that requires you to represent verbal information in numerical format. Based on the information in the question, if X represents the number of animals in a small cage then 2X represents the number of animals in the bigger cage. Based on the information in the question, we can conclude that there are 4 big cages and 2 small ones. To find the smallest number of animals in each cage is 1 in the small cage and 2 in the bigger cage. The smallest number of animals in all 6 cages is 2+2+2+2+1+1= 10. 

Example numerical question 3:

1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, ?

What's the next number in this series?

This number series is based on the following sequence of numbers 1 squared, 2 squared, 3 squared, 4 squared, 5 squared, 6 squared. The next number is 7 squared (i.e. 49).

Example numerical question 4:

What is the missing number that should replace the question mark?

In the horizontal rows, the pattern is for the numbers to increase by 2 going left to right. Therefore, the missing number to replace the question mark is: 17 – 2 = 15. Alternatively, you can look at the pattern in the vertical columns. Here, the numbers increase by 6 going top to bottom. Therefore, the missing number to replace question mark is: 9 + 6 = 15.

3. Abstract test questions in your online job opportunities assessment for ADF:

This type of test questions in the JOA measures your abstract skills. In this type of test questions you are presented with a group of shapes or items. Your challenge is to quickly identify one or more patterns among most of the items presented. Based on these patterns you can eliminate one or two items which do not belong with the others.

Let's review the following example, here we can see a group of shapes. Your task is to find which of the shapes doesn’t belong with the others.

To answer this question we need to find the patterns or logical rules that make up this list of shapes going from left to right. When reviewing the three shapes we can identify the following patterns:

1. Each shape has a half white and hals black inner shapes.

2. The black and white inner shapes are mirro image..

3. There is a stick or pole coming out from the centre or point of connection between the black and white inner shapes.

As the odd-one-out is a shape that does not incorporate all three patterns, the first shape is the odd-one-out.

ADF's YOU Session Psychological Interview:

The last component of your YOU Session is going to be a Psychological Interview. The interview is designed as a Behavioural Descriptive Interview in which the interviewer checks how  you behaved  in various competency related situations in the past such as at school or with friends. It’s a well structure interview where questions are designed according to skills and competencies required for the ADF . Your response determines how well you fit specific jobs that the ADF has to offer you. It is the approach of BDI which differentiates it from other interview techniques.  Unlike situational interview, where interviewees are given a situation and their ability is analysed based on their response, BDI asks you to narrate a situation or incidences from your past experience which demonstrates a particular skill or ability.
