In the perspective of 80 years of research that has shown general mental ability to the best predictor of how well a person will perform in any job, e-bilities has designed a scientifically sophisticated, yet quick and convenient way for employers to measure the general mental ability of their job applicants.

e-bilities tests are available in a range of languages including English, Mandarin, Indonesian, Korean, Malay, Thai and Vietnamese. e-bilities has been widely used in consulting assignments, and public and private sector recruitment projects, with their clients spanning diverse industries in locations across the Asia-Pacific region. |
