Linear testing delivers all questions in the same order to each test taker, regardless of how earlier questions are answered. Linear testing is the preferred platform for aptitude testing, automating paper-based assessments and simplifying custom test creation.Linear tests can be easily scheduled using IKM’s standard test administration menus. Linear assessment results provide an overall score, percentile comparisons, skills analysis, and individual question analysis. Scores are available immediately upon assessment completion and can be optionally emailed to the test candidate and/or the test administrator.

All the sophisticated analytical tools available with IKM’s Adaptive assessments are also available for the Linear platform. Assessment results can be easily integrated with existing learning management or HR systems and are stored in a secure database for subsequent review or analysis.

A special Linear version of IKM’s popular test development tool (Testwrite™) is available and designed to enable quick and simple conversion of existing paper-based tests as well as custom content creation.
